| zurn | Hi, the other day it was recommended to me to upgrade my Ubuntu Studio 18.04 to the new 20.04 to resolve some pulse->jack bridge issues I've been having...just noticing that it says not to do so until 20.04.01 comes out in July - is there a risk of doing the upgrade now? | 18:32 |
|---|---|---|
| Eickmeyer | zurn: Just like with any free operating system, everything is at your own risk. You can either wait until 20.04.1 or you can run "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" in a terminal or alt-F2, "update-manager -d" now to upgrade if you wish. Considering 20.04 is stable, you should be OK. | 18:34 |
| zurn | Oh good... cause I've already started! | 18:34 |
| Eickmeyer | Also, "It says" is something I likely wrote. :) | 18:34 |
| * Eickmeyer goes grocery shopping | 18:35 | |
| zurn | and for that I salute you | 18:35 |
| zurn | you guys are truly amazing | 18:35 |
| genii | Working on a friend's laptop which he just installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04 on. Cleared up some other isseues already ( screen tearing and inactive Elantech touchpad buttons). But it has this other annoying bug I can't seem to get to the bottom of yet, after inactivity whenever it goes into some other state ( not sure if lock/sleep/whatever), the screen remaqins the same, there ins no screensaver or lock screen,e tc but then there is only cursor | 21:19 |
| genii | movement and hovering/clicking/ etc go totally dead. The only current solution is ctrl-alt-f1 and restarting lightdm. Machine is an ASUS X555DA with AMD A10-8700 and Carrizo GPU, Latest HWE kernel and amdgpu installed | 21:19 |
| PLC | hi' there :) | 21:19 |
| Eickmeyer | genii: I'd check with #xubuntu on that, there's nothing that we have configured in regards to the screensaver that they didn't configure. | 21:20 |
| genii | Eickmeyer: I asked around because of the XFCE comman backend, but no good leads yet. light-locker is not installed, etc | 21:21 |
| Eickmeyer | genii: Right, xfce4-screensaver replaced light-locker in 19.04 and later. | 21:22 |
| genii | I have all the things I can possibly turn off as far as DPMS, powersaving, etc | 21:22 |
| Eickmeyer | genii: Could also be completely hardware related, i.e. no two ACPI interfaces are exactly alike. | 21:23 |
| Eickmeyer | genii: Could also be the video driver. | 21:23 |
| genii | ..I am starting to lean in that direction, some wonky AMD ACPI implementaion maybe | 21:24 |
| Eickmeyer | That's very possible. I had that problem with my AMD machine in 19.04 and had to disable the power manager when every other DE worked fine. | 21:24 |
| Eickmeyer | No issues with 20.04 however. | 21:25 |
| genii | Eickmeyer: I upgraded the driver to latest PPA, disabled compistiing, made sure DRI3 and GLX/Mesa are running fine, etc | 21:25 |
| genii | *compositing | 21:25 |
| genii | ...Yeh, Kubuntu Focal and Groovy both ran fine off liveUSB | 21:26 |
| Eickmeyer | Yeah, that means nothing if it's a funky ACPI. There *might* be a kernel parameter that needs to be added to the command line in grub, but I don't remember off the top of my head what that might be. | 21:26 |
| Eickmeyer | acpi_osi=linux or something like that. | 21:26 |
| genii | Hm, OK. Guess I'll just keep poking at it with a stick | 21:26 |
| Eickmeyer | genii: That's what I would do. Sorry I couldn't have been better assistance. There are several reasons why we're moving to KDE Plasma with 20.10, and funky power management issues are one of them. | 21:28 |
| * genii goes back to the stick-pokings | 21:31 | |
| Eickmeyer | Hehe, good luck, genii | 21:32 |
| genii | Thanks :) I'll kepp you posted if something works | 21:32 |
| OvenWerks | genii: given that other DEs work for you, have you thought of installing Studio on top of one of those DEs with ubuntustudio-installer? | 21:33 |
| Eickmeyer | !ubuntustudio-installer | 21:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Studio Installer is an app that can be used to add Ubuntu Studio's benefits to an existing Ubuntu (or official flavor) installation, or add additional packages. For more info, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UbuntuStudioInstaller | 21:33 |
| genii | OvenWerks: He's used to the regular version so I don't want to have to coach him through some new interface... plus I'd rather actually get to the bottom of the real issue and solve it | 21:36 |
| OvenWerks | ok | 21:38 |
| genii | Got it | 23:57 |
| genii | ..turns out to be a combination of: acpi_osi=1 acpi_osi='Windows 2010' tsc=unstable clocksource=hpet | 23:58 |
| genii | ..for future reference | 23:58 |
