installed lubuntu 18.04.1 on dell 755 without updates, format of /, but used my old /home (from fedora). rebooted post install, pointed sources to my ISP's ubuntu mirror (bandwidth free updates) & dist-upgrade. I added xubuntu-desktop & some of the apps missing from my modified xfce desktop.
added canonical kernel ppa; changed [ppa] source to point to cosmic; update & install kernel. reboot & login (normally!) guiverc@755-lubu:~$ screenfetch -n guiverc@755-lubu OS: Ubuntu 18.04 bionic Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.18.0-8-generic Uptime: 10m Packages: 1678 Shell: bash 4.4.19 Resolution: 1680x1050 DE: XFCE WM: Xfwm4 WM Theme: Agualemon GTK Theme: Mist [GTK2] Icon Theme: gnome Font: Sans 10 CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E6850 @ 2x 2.71GHz GPU: ATI RV515 RAM: 477MiB / 4824MiB -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795092 Title: xubuntu 18.10 daily image (x86) fails to boot - initramfs Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Bug description: x86 daily image (32bit) XUBUNTU 18.10 - booted & ran fine on dell latitude d610 - booted & ran fine on ibm thinkpad t43 fails on - hp dc7700 small form factor desktop - dell 755 desktop - lenovo thinkpad x201 I don't get the "try xubuntu / install xubuntu" screen, instead it eventually drops to ---- "BusyBox v1.27.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu4) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system ---- Note: I typed the messages in so typos may exist I suspect it's the same issue as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1794922 where Walter (wxl) gave a possible link to http://debian.2.n7.nabble.com/Bug-908924-dma-direct-map-sg-overflow- on-USB-access-after-upgrade-to-kernel-4-18-td4387757.html I've been testing xubuntu 18.10 daily images for awhile (but not logging on qa-tracker - my bad, sorry!!!) without issue on t43 & d610, and only rarely booting on other boxes (like 755/dc7700/..) It may have been ~15-20 days since last tested on dell 755; but it worked fine back then (& prior) but due to my QA-tracking omission, we can't be exact - sorry again!
