[Bug 1876157] Re: Memtest86+ in Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't work, switch to Coreboot branch or package new release v5.31b is available since 12/04/2020
Also encountering this same issue on ubuntu 20.04.2 with HP zbook 17 G2. Memtest loaded through grub freezes. I thought this was because my hardware was faulty. I nearly returned it under warranty. But downloading memtest86+ 5.01 from memtest.org and loading via syslinux worked fine, and memtest reached 100%. I thought it might be a GRUB issue but copying /boot/memtest86+.bin to my USB drive and loading via syslinux caused the same freeze. So the problem is with the ubuntu build of memtest86+. Memtest86+ is supposed to "completely reliable", according to their website. A diagnostic tool is near useless if it gives false positives, and a freeze of memtest86+ would seem to indicate a severe memory failure. Including this build in ubuntu is doing a disservice to upstream and to users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876157 Title: Memtest86+ in Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't work, switch to Coreboot branch or package new release v5.31b is available since 12/04/2020 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1876157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop
I bought an inspiron 6400 with ubuntu preloaded back in the ubuntu feisty days (about 1.5 years ago). I'm afraid I'm gonna have to agree - their build quality is poor, as is their support. I'm not going to deny that my laptop does take a bit of a beating being carried to and from school every day, but this is a bit ridiculous: the left speaker doesnt work, I've had to replace the keyboard after several keys stopped working, the clip at the top of the screen jams, the screen's hinges wobble, the CD drive keeps falling out, the xD card reader doesnt work, the power cable fell apart (had to buy a new one), the hard drive failed once - devouring my maths coursework (luckily i had an only slightly out of date backup), the battery's at 63% and falling of its nominal capacity (55.3 Wh compared to the 86.6 Wh that i payed for), the bluetooth doesnt work, the carry bag's disintegrated, and the heatsink has a kinder bueno wrapper in it. Ok maybe the last one's my fault, but you get the idea When i phoned customer suppeort for a replacement hard drive, i think i spent a total of about an hour on hold, and got sent from department to department... ubuntu support, hardware support, ubuntu support again, back to hardware support, please hold, ubuntu support... etc etc Eventually the replacement hard drive came, in a cardboard box sandwiched between two bits of foam. Good thing i'm a techie sort of person. I know a lot of people who, if they were given a hard drive in a box, wouldnt have a clue what to do with it. Perhaps thats because its an ubuntu laptop? The idea that all linux users know how to replace a hard drive, upgrade ram, reformat a disk or whatever needs to stop if linux is to be accepted by the wider community, and not just geeks. 2009/3/4 David King linux...@avoura.com: It is a real shame that Dell no longer sell the 1525 with Ubuntu. I bought one for a friend and she loves it. Now it is either a mini laptop or a much more powerful one, with the mini one being about the same price as the old 1525. Also, off topic, why has Dell gone all American on their UK site, putting lots of weights of laptops in lbs? Everywhere else vendors are describing theirs in kilograms. I doubt if I will ever buy a Dell laptop again.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Buying a Acer Notebook.....
I got myself one of those. It's got a very dated an unattractive looking interface, and firefox 2 beta. It runs a 2.4 kernel on a MIPSEL processor. You cant reach the TTY or a graphical shell, andthe pacakge management/upgrade system doesnt work. The OS is a lockdown so you cant install anything else, except xenium linux which is hacked to work on it. When I tried xenium, it made it permanently unbootable. Then the battery exploded/melted.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Mp3 to Ogg Conversion
Converting between 2 lossy formats loses quality. If you converted MP3FLAC, you'd get the same quality as the original MP3, but it would take up about 10x as much space.

We are at about critical mass where software and hardware companies can't just ignore Linux so lets take it a step further. I think the majority of people will have heard Ubuntu either subliminally or consciously so I think a TV advert will have a far greater effect than it may seem. Does anyone have any information on how much a TV advert on mainstream TV would cost? How much it costs to place it at certain times? (e.g. in the middle of the Gadget Show on five). And how much does it vary between channels like Bravo / MenMotors and ITV / Ch4? I'm wondering if we could start a donation fund then ask Canonical to match what we raise or go directly to Mark Shuttleworth or something. Think about what we could do with the advert, the talent of the Open-Source community coming together with ideas and contributions. We could show Compiz Fusion against Aero. Make a joke about the cost, something like a fake shopping channel where the orange guy shows off this fab Operating System and the cost is on the screen as £0.00 and all hell breaks loose with people ringing in for it etc. and they think the price must be wrong on the screen.
