Ubuntu Cosmic (18.10) still fails to load certain fonts at boot. The problem is that setupcon has a bug in it that attempts to load the font TWICE, which fails for certain types of fonts. The attached patch fixes this issue. ** Patch added: "Fix font loading issue on Ubuntu Cosmic" https://b

The number of bytes being mmap()ed (12587008 bytes) may well be set in /etc/wodim.conf, where the following line appears by default: CDR_FIFOSIZE=12m Commenting out this line seems to solve the immediate problem, as only 8192 bytes are now mmap()ed--but I have not tested it with a read CD-R disc,

2018-05-08 Thread John Zaitseff
Further to my last comment, I'm wondering whether the actual number of bytes that can be successfully mmap()ed is determined by how many other pages are already mmap()ed. Therefore I've set CDR_FIFOSIZE=6m in my /etc/wodim.conf. Hopefully that will work--I'll test it next time I have a CD-R to bu
