Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Lubuntu 13.10 beta

An update, the kernel boots okay and when stressed with swap does not crash. The next step will be to make an ISO with it in and see if it does, indeed, squish the bug. The kernel team are on the case and we will be asked to help test an ISO at some point in the (hopefully near) future. Thanks ev

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Lubuntu 13.10 beta

It was he on the kernel irc channel who I chatted to about the best way to raise a kernel type bug. I've only done one before... ever! (And I got that one in from upstream with a lot of help narrowing down the exact 'bit' that was needed). Regards, Phill. On 18 September 2013 17:13, Nio Wiklund

Hi, I ran the saucy-desktop-i386.iso installer in the Toshiba with 768 MB RAM, 512 MB less than what was necessary earlier today. But I ran it without zRAM, and there was no freeze :-) So that convinces me, that it is the zRAM problem described by Leszek. I will do some more tests, but if I don't

Hi Leszek, do you have the upstream bug report from zram about this? Julien should be successful in getting it into the ubuntu kernel if there is a bug and a fix. Regards, Phill. On 18 September 2013 15:14, Nio Wiklund wrote: > Hi! > > I think this information from Leszek is the key to solve

I'll do a zsync to the current desktop amd64 and re-run it under KVM. When it freezes I'll do a forced shut down and extract the contents of /var to see if there are any logs / messages there. (I love guestfish :) ) Regards, Phill. On 18 September 2013 14:58, Nio Wiklund wrote: > On 2013-09-
