arraybolt3[m]Random conversation starter: The current mess around systemd-oomd could be solved by simply enabling the Magic SysRq OOM killer trigger (Alt+PrtScrn+F I believe). When the system is nearing low memory, Ubuntu could simply pop up a window stating "The system is reaching a dangerously low level of free memory, and may lock up soon. If this happens, hold down the Alt key, then press PrtScrn, followed by F." Even if the system did01:48
arraybolt3[m]lock up, the user would be staring at the solution, and could instantly unlock their system with one key combo. This would solve the problem entirely, at least on desktop Ubuntu.01:48

lotuspsychjethink i saw recent bug(s) about systemd-oomd01:50
lotuspsychjecant recall their ID01:50
arraybolt3[m]There's an entire discussion on the ubuntu-devel mailing list regarding this problem, I tried to mention this solution but it looks like it got overlooked.01:51
lotuspsychjebug # 1969248 is one01:52

lotuspsychjenice Bashing-om +101:54
arraybolt3[m]Bashing-om: Thanks. Looks like my messages never made it through. Guess they don't want non-devs interfering with the conversation, but I thought my solution was pretty good.01:55
Bashing-omarraybolt3[m]: Lemme check - think was on Discouse the developers have a thread open for suggestions. 02:00
Bashing-omarraybolt3[m]: NO- guess I had my wires crossed :(02:03
arraybolt3[m]Oh well. They'll figure something out, I'm sure.02:05
lotuspsychje22.04.1 surely will solve a lot of issues02:09
ducassegood morning all06:52
lotuspsychjein wich cycle would kernel 5.18 arrive on ubuntu?12:58
hggdhprobably will not be made available. 22.10 will use 5.20, or 6.0/6.1, or whatever14:11
lotuspsychjetnx hggdh 14:14
lotuspsychjeill test a kinetic once it reaches 5.20 then14:15
hggdhusually a new kernel comes late in the cycle14:29
lotuspsychje!info linux-image-generic kinetic14:34
ubottulinux-image-generic (5.15.0.27.30, kinetic): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Built by linux-meta. Size 3 kB / 19 kB. (Only available for amd64, armhf, arm64, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x.)14:34
lotuspsychjea bit of waiting game then14:34
Eickmeyeroem in jammy is 5.1714:41
hggdhyeah, OEM is... different14:42
arraybolt3[m]Out of curiosity, what's the point of a newer kernel? Does it have any visible effect for the end user?18:24
arraybolt3[m](My Ubuntu experience with kernel 5.8 on Focal is pretty much identical to my experience with kernel 5.15 on Kinetic, except for if you install kernel 5.8 on Kinetic, it breaks Snaps.)18:27
arraybolt3[m](I guess new drivers and support for stuff like exFAT comes in newer kernels, so there's that.)18:28
tomreynexactly that - support for newer hardware and features18:32
