[Touch-packages] [Bug 1750937] Re: 4.4.0-116 Kernel update on 2/21 breaks Nvidia drivers (on 14.04 and 16.04) due to outdated gcc-4.8
Running Xubuntu 14.04 and just upgraded to 3.13.0-144 from 3.13.0-143 and needed to re-apply the fix again. The fix I have used is to edit /usr/src/linux- headers-3.13.0-144/include/linux/vermagic.h $ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-144/include/linux $ diff vermagic.h vermagic.h.WAS 27,28c27 < /* #ifdef RETPOLINE */ < #if 1 --- > #ifdef RETPOLINE -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gcc-4.8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750937 Title: 4.4.0-116 Kernel update on 2/21 breaks Nvidia drivers (on 14.04 and 16.04) due to outdated gcc-4.8 Status in gcc-4.8 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Running fine with nvidia-384 until this kernel update came along. When booted into the new kernel, got super low resolution and nvidia- settings was missing most of its functionality - could not change resolution. Rebooted into 4.4.0-112 kernel and all was well. The root cause of the problem has been found to be installing the -116 kernel without a sufficiently updated version of gcc. In my case, my system received the gcc update AFTER the kernel update. Uninstalling the -116 kernel and reinstalling it with the updated version of gcc solved the problem for me.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1044111] Re: blkid is hanging on probing nonexistant floppy drive
Is there no better solution than to say "Change your BIOS settings"? There is nothing to put the idea in the user's mind that that may be the problem, especially these days when many users have never seen a floppy disk in their lives. blkid will make gparted lock up for 20 minutes or more, other commands fail much more quickly. Because gparted calls blkid, one never sees any output from blkid when it is causing gparted to seem to hang. This means people installing Linux for the first time think the installer does not work and they are likely to go away and not come back saying "Linux won't work on this PC". A PC that likely has a functioning Windows on it. At the very least there needs to be some sort of clue to the user, for example, programs that rely on blkid checking to see if it takes ages to respond and then informing the user the BIOS might need changing to match the actual drives installed, and the "System Requirements" documents for the various distributions changed to say "make sure your BIOS matches your installed drives because there is one time where it will cause your PC to hang which is when you install Linux". As it stands, this problem is an example of "Linux is too hard to use". It actually took me over 20 hours of determined struggling to finally work out why I could not seem to install Linux on my laptop, despite trying many distros, and to work out it was this blkid / gparted problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044111 Title: blkid is hanging on probing nonexistant floppy drive Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: 1.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1044111] Re: blkid is hanging, or at least taking a long time to process partition statistics
I'm not sure whether to update this bug or: - bug 155047 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/155047 - bug 1029149 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1029149 as I suspect they are really all duplicates as they suffer the symptoms of this blkid bug. I have been struggling to install LXLE 12.04.5 because of this bug. gparted sits on "Scanning all devices..." for over 20 minutes every time a change is made in gparted. The problem is made worse by the Sony PCG-FX201 laptop not having any option in the BIOS to say there is no floppy drive. My workaround was to put the floppy drive back in the laptop (one can either plug in the floppy drive, a 2nd battery, or a weight-saver). On installing the floppy drive, gparted continues and then works normally. (No floppy disk is required.) It is caused by sudo blkid pausing for ages (appearing to hang) when there is no floppy drive but responds instantly when it is installed. I don't think blkid should hang when a drive is absent. util-linux 2.20.1-1ubuntu3.1 libparted 2.3 GParted 0.18.0 0.18.0-1~getdeb1 LXLE 12.04.5 LTS 3.2.0-83-generic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044111 Title: blkid is hanging, or at least taking a long time to process partition statistics Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1.
