[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1888967] [NEW] Lubuntu Lubuntu 18.04 won't boot after applying updates on a 32-bit machine

2020-07-25 Thread Aere Greenway
Public bug reported:

On a Dell Optiplex-gx260 computer, after applying updates, installing
linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic, when restarting, the system doesn't
boot, and instead ends up in 'rescue mode' (whatever that is).

I'm reporting this on another Dell Optiplex machine (32-bit), because
although the machine having the problem booted on the older kernel
(4.15.0-109-generic), it would not stay alive long enough to report the
problem.

This machine (fortunately) is still using the 4.15.0-100-generic kernel,
so it stays alive long enough to report the problem.

I expected the machine to reboot after applying updates.  Instead, it
ended-up in a text-screen, saying it is in 'rescue mode'.

I also attempted to do a fresh install of the latest Lubuntu 18.04 on a
different Dell Optiplex GX-260 machine, and it also ended up in a text
screen in 'rescue mode'.

So I gave up on Lubuntu, and successfully installed Debian 10.4.

I tried adding the nopti kernel parameter today, in particular, to the 
default entry, and it seemed to work, though at least once, it didn't 
work, but perhaps I did something wrong.

In an attempt to remove that variability, I made changes to permanently 
apply the nopti parameter, and that has been working consistently, on 
all 5 machines it was failing on.

Those 5 machines experiencing the problem (all of them i386), were:

Dell GX240

Dell GX260

Dell GX270

MacBook (1,1) 32-bit

HP-Mini

Anyway, applying the 'nopti' kernel parameter in a persistent way, 
appears to have solved the problem.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Lubuntu 18.04 LTS on an i386 machine (Dell GX-270).  After
  installation, it rebooted with no problems.

  I installed all updates, and on rebooting it failed to boot.  The
  screen had unreadable graphics in the top third of it.

  On rebooting again, it booted okay, saying it recovered the journal.

  Sometimes, it takes 3 tries to get it to boot.  Often, it gets most of
  the way into the boot process, then suddenly goes into the GRUB menu.

  I installed this system because my primary partition on the same
  machine started failing to boot much of the time.  This failure
  started happening after applying updates.  I was thinking something in
  the system files might be corrupted.  But the newly-installed system
  has the same symptoms.

  After applying updates, I expected the system to boot successfully
  every time.

  Instead, it always crashes during the boot, or hangs, on the first try
  to boot.  On the 2nd or 3rd try, it will boot.

It works on the '-47' kernel (and the '-45' kernel), but on nothing 
beyond that (I didn't have a '-50') kernel to try it on).

It seems it fails on the '-51' kernel, as well as the '-52' kernel.

I did some more testing, and found that the problem does occur on my 
Dell GX-260.  I just didn't happen on the reboot after applying 
updates.  It is possible that the problem is less likely to happen on a 
reboot, than after an initial power-on.  But it does happen on a reboot.

I also updated a Dell GX-240, and the same problem happened there, as
well.

If I boot (even after power-on) an earlier kernel ('-45' or '-47'), the 
problem does not occur.

When I boot a kernel having the problem ('-51' or '-52'), selected as 
the default for a different partition (of the same drive), the problem 
does not occur (even after power-up).  It appears I can reliably boot 
that way.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Lubuntu 18.04 LTS on an i386 machine (Dell GX-270).  After
  installation, it rebooted with no problems.

  I installed all updates, and on rebooting it failed to boot.  The
  screen had unreadable graphics in the top third of it.

  On rebooting again, it booted okay, saying it recovered the journal.

  Sometimes, it takes 3 tries to get it to boot.  Often, it gets most of
  the way into the boot process, then suddenly goes into the GRUB menu.

  I installed this system because my primary partition on the same
  machine started failing to boot much of the time.  This failure
  started happening after applying updates.  I was thinking something in
  the system files might be corrupted.  But the newly-installed system
  has the same symptoms.

  After applying updates, I expected the system to boot successfully
  every time.

  Instead, it always crashes during the boot, or hangs, on the first try
  to boot.  On the 2nd or 3rd try, it will boot.

I encountered the same problem on my 32-bit MacBook, which I updated today.

On that one, there were two earlier kernels.  Both the '-45' kernel 
(4.15.0-45, I think) and the '-47' kernel work.  The '-52' kernel 
(recently updated-to) fails.

I recently updated a Dell GX-260 (the one I had problems with was a Dell 
GX-270), and it has not yet encountered the problem.

On the system I just installed, it's the '-20' version.  On the old 
system, it was a more recent version, and I think updates removed the 
last working version, so that specifying an older kernel didn't work.

However, keep in mind that now I installed a new Lubuntu 18.04.2 
partition, if I specify to load the old system (which always used to 
crash during boot), it has booted without any problems, several times.

The problem seems to be related some way with booting the default 
partition.

I know in applying updates, it asked whether or not to replace the GRUB 
configuration with the package-maintainer's version, and I agreed to do 
that.  After those updates, the problem started happening.

Okay, that information was helpful.

I'm quite sure I did it right this time.  I assume the text I add (after 
a space at the end of the command) is:

nopti

I hit F10 to boot with the command applied (an alternative to cntrl-x).
I needed that alternative because GRUB dumps you in qwerty layout, and I
DO NOT use qwerty.

With the parameter applied, it crashed (on the initial try).

So I don't think the nopti parameter makes any difference.

Again, after that, and specifying the old kernel (with no boot
parameter), it worked.

If, in the GRUB menu, instead of selecting "Ubuntu" (the default at the 
top of the list), I instead select "advanced options for Ubuntu", and 
then specify the prior kernel, it works fine, in several tries, without 
specifying any kernel options.  It worked once for the most current 
kernel that way too, but on trying it again, it failed the same way as 
before.

I tried to figure out how to specify kernel options, and I think I 
specified it right (nopti at the end of the GRUB menu kernel entry, 
preceded by a space), but I have no experience doing that, so I can't 
say for sure I did it right.

But in the one attempt to specify the nopti option I did, it crashed 
during boot.

The grub-install required a device name.  I specified:

sudo grub-install /dev/sda

It said it was successful, and the "sudo update-grub" completed 
normally, as well.

When I powered on the machine after shutting down, I got the GRUB menu, 
as expected.

However, the error again occurred, so that appears to have had no 
effect.  The particular error this time, was that it hung (with screen 
garbage visible), and I had to hold down the power button to turn it off.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1833018] Re: After Installing Updates, system fails to boot on first try

2019-06-16 Thread Aere Greenway
When I boot, but specify the other partition (also Lubuntu 18.04.2) -
the one that originally started having the boot problems - it boots
successfully.

When I boot, but specify the originally-installed kernel (linux-
image-4.15.0-20-generic), it also boots successfully.

Sometimes, on the boots that fail, it just hangs, and I have to hold
down the power button to turn it off.

It appears, that after initially powering on, and just booting from the
first GRUB menu entry, it always fails in some manner the first time.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1637917] Re: rosegarden 16.06 plays only first note, locks up PC when trying to use HR timer

2016-12-13 Thread Aere Greenway
I tested Rosegarden on Ubuntu, UbuntuGnome, Kubuntu, UbuntuMATE,
Lubuntu, and UbuntuStudio.

In all cases, in attempting to play a MIDI sequence (Rosegarden '.rg'
file), wherever I placed the playback-position, it would play only the
notes at that position, and not advance any further.

It is as if the timer is not advancing.

I was able to play those same sequence files, when converted to a MIDI-
file (.mid) and playing it using the MIDI Player/Recorder of the
KeyMusician Keyboard, which uses the MIDI sequencer in Open Java 8.

Bug description:
  I don't know why, but I cannot remember Rosegarden ever to be working
  during the last ten years.

  I load up some of the examples shipped with it, try to play it, the
  playback counter starts to wildly fluctuate back and forth around the
  time point 0. When I try to set the HP timer as timer source for the
  sequencer, the entire PC freezes. I tried this with regular linux-
  generic kernel on amd64, and low-latency stock kernels from Ubuntu
  16.10. The only way to get the timer on the playback display going
  forward is to select a recording or playback device as a timer source.
  But even then only the first note gets played and nothing more. I even
  tried not having any devices connected to rosegarden, but the playback
  timer just kept fluctuating around 0.

Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1338016] Re: Laptop headphones stopped working after updating system

2014-07-09 Thread Aere Greenway
Christopher:

I discovered an acceptable work-around for the problem.

Every time I boot the latest 12.04 LTS system (3.2.0-65) from a 
power-off state, sound works fine through the amplifier.

Every time I boot the latest 12.04 LTS system via a reboot, sound only 
works through the laptop speakers.

I tried this many times, and every time it works this way.

So the work-around is when you need to use the 12.04 LTS system, always 
boot it from a power-off state.

Further testing showed that the earlier level of the kernel I had 
(3.2.0-61) has no problem with playing audio through the amplifier, 
regardless whether I booted it from a power-off state, or via rebooting.

Regarding updating the BIOS:

In reading the complex instructions, I noticed the following warning:

*WARNING: Flashing motherboard BIOS is a dangerous activity that can 
render your motherboard inoperable! While the author of this article has 
successfully run this procedure many times, your mileage may vary. Be 
careful!*

I use this machine for testing a number of OS's - including Windows 7.  
It is also a machine I use in performing music.  Any risk of losing this 
machine altogether is not a risk I want to take.

I have no problems with sound using UbuntuStudio 14.04 in another 
partition of this machine.  It doesn't matter if I reboot, or boot from 
a power-off state - it works every time.

I tried the Ubuntu 14.04 Live CD on the machine, and audio works on it 
with no problems.  Of course, with the live CD, it was from a power-off 
state.  But UbuntuStudio 14.04 had no problems with audio, so probably 
Ubuntu Unity will work as well.

So for any testing I need to do on Ubuntu 12.04 on this machine, I will 
boot from a power-off state, which ends up with no problems with audio 
using the amplifier.

When Ubuntu 12.04 is no longer supported (and I no longer need an Ubuntu 
12.04 test system), I will just install Ubuntu 14.04.

I was not aware of any BIOS changes being available.

I looked at the first link, and updated my sound card driver (in Windows 
7), but that will not change anything in Linux.

On Windows 7, I looked under the BIOS section of the web-page for my 
machine, but it only suggested downloading changes for the trackpad (and 
two other non-audio devices).  I did not see anything for updating the 
BIOS as a whole.

I was not aware that by reporting a problem without first having done 
the risky procedure of updating the BIOS, I was committing a breach of 
etiquette, and I apologize for that.  Regardless, I do not want to risk 
the loss of that machine by going through the complex (and risky) 
process of updating the BIOS.

I will be happy to not go to the effort of reporting problems in the 
future.

  [Acer Aspire 4339] Laptop headphones stopped working after updating
  system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I applied updates installing linux-image-3.2.0-65-generic, the
  laptop headphones (sound system) stopped working.  When I pull out the
  sound-system plug, sound works through the (pathetic) laptop speakers.
  Sound is at a reasonable level, and is not muted.

  When I reboot with the former system linux-image-3.2.0-61-generic,
  sound works through the speaker system as it always did before.

  I am using an Acer Aspire 4339, running Ubuntu (Unity) 12.04.

  I expected sound (audio) to continue working through my sound system
  after applying system updates, but it didn't.  The only way to get any
  sound is to use the laptop speakers.
