| pepi61 | hi, i'm using lubuntu 18.04 lts and i'm wondering what's the latest kernel - to check if mine is update | 10:11 |
|---|---|---|
| pepi61 | since 4.15.0-88-generic seems old | 10:12 |
| guiverc | 18.04 can use HWE which will give you 5.3, or GA which is 4.15 | 10:12 |
| guiverc | sorry my 18.04 has HWE enabled (so 5.3.0-40), and I don't know how to ask irc/bot for latest 18.04 GA kernel.. if you wait someone else may know | 10:13 |
| pepi61 | thanks guiverc, how can i use that? HWE /GA | 10:14 |
| guiverc | pepi61, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 10:14 |
| guiverc | in quick summary; HWE causes 18.04 to use 18.10's stack, then 19.04, 19.10 and eventually settle on 20.04's kernel & graphic.. stack.. | 10:15 |
| pepi61 | Ok thanks, however the link seems to only provide instructions for HWE | 10:16 |
| pepi61 | if i want a more stable(?) GA | 10:16 |
| guiverc | GA refers to the more general available kernel; the default 4.15 used for upgraded installs, or 18.04 & 18.04.1 new installs. | 10:17 |
| pepi61 | do i need to install a specific one? or can i install something like "always use latest ga" | 10:17 |
| guiverc | GA is what you're already using. | 10:17 |
| pepi61 | Ah, I see | 10:17 |
| pepi61 | Ok thanks, I'll try the HWE then | 10:18 |
| guiverc | (GA is referred to in the prior link I gave I see) | 10:18 |
| pepi61 | for some reason my camera stopped working and I'm out of ideas other than change kernels | 10:18 |
| guiverc | if you have the bandwidth & a spare thumb-drive, I'd probably opt to download a different ISO (different release, or a standard/unmodified release) & try it there first. | 10:19 |
| guiverc | ie. using the "Try Ubuntu/Start Lubuntu" or 'live' mode; sorry I don't have a camera on either box here (20.04 & 18.04) | 10:20 |
| pepi61 | So you mean verify it's working on a fresh/live install? | 10:20 |
| guiverc | yep. | 10:20 |
| guiverc | (without the install bit, ie. just the 'live' system) | 10:21 |
| pepi61 | i'll do that, but it was working yesterday... and a new Zoom install ruined it system-wide | 10:21 |
| pepi61 | so i'm sure hardware is ok | 10:21 |
| guiverc | sorry I have no real experience with camera so can't help you with that. | 10:22 |
| pepi61 | ok thanks, just one more question | 10:24 |
| pepi61 | if i install the HWE | 10:24 |
| pepi61 | and it somehow is worse | 10:24 |
| pepi61 | can i still go back? | 10:24 |
| guiverc | Yes. on install your old GA kernels won't disappear so current kernels can always be selected at grub. With your issue, have you tried using an older (already-installed) kernel? I somehow suspect kernel may not make a difference given things you've said (new zoom? [i don't know it] impacting a kernel???) | 10:26 |
| guiverc | 4.15.0-88 is the current latest for 18.04 without HWE (or using GA) | 10:30 |
| pepi61 | ok so i'm on latest | 10:31 |
| pepi61 | ok thanks for the help, i'll first verify with a live os like you suggested | 10:32 |
| pepi61 | good bye | 10:32 |
| filip_ | hi | 13:16 |
| rafobr | Hi. I've installed lubunt with the disk encryption option. The thing is, when I power on the pc the prompt screen for the encryption password is not like the screen on ubuntu , xubuntu or ubuntu-mate ( the distro logo and an input field to type in). In lubuntu it is just a plain black screen with the messagen to input the password (no lubuntu | 20:02 |
| rafobr | logo). And the annoying part is, it only give one change to try decrypting. If the first attempt fails it goes to GRUB command prompt screen (with the indicator "grub>")... Not sure if its the expected behavior or a installation problem. Any hints? Thanks in advance | 20:02 |
| wxl | rafobr: yep, expected. the other ubuntu flavors don't encrypt the whole disk (they don't encrypt /boot). we do. that, unfortunately, makes for a little less-friendly interface, but at the benefit of greater security. | 20:05 |
| rafobr | I guess something is wrong since I've noticed some posts on the internet showing what the decryption screen would look like https://i.stack.imgur.com/0yaNi.png | 20:05 |
| rafobr | wxl I see... | 20:09 |
| rafobr | thanks! | 20:10 |
| rafobr | Sorry to bother you again wxl ... Can we set the number of times we can try to input the password and to make that password input mask (eg.: ***** ) to appear as we type in? | 20:15 |
| wxl | rafobr: as far as i know, no. i would have to investigate further to be sure. | 20:19 |
| rafobr | thanks wxl ! I'm looking for any clue on internet foruns too... thx :) | 20:21 |
