[Touch-packages] [Bug 1767896] Re: Live images with broken seed causes snapd high CPU usage and periodic short GUI freezes
So persistence is no longer possible? That's very disappointing :( Perhaps the option should be removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767896 Title: Live images with broken seed causes snapd high CPU usage and periodic short GUI freezes Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: ThinkPad 25, UEFI mode, Ubuntu 18.04 installed as a _live_ distro in FAT32 partition on SATA SSD in WWAN slot.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1767896] Re: Live images with broken seed causes snapd high CPU usage and periodic short GUI freezes
Yes, this is with the 18.10 final release. I'm unable to provide confirmation/diagnostics as the behavior is worse than with 18.04/04.1. With persistence enabled I can sometimes initially get to a desktop which has a moving mouse pointer but is unresponsive. It will at some point black-screen with a message about the Snappy daemon - which I wasn't able to capture. Subsequent attempts to boot will either hang on the Ubuntu splash indefinitely, or eventually flash a desktop immediately followed by a black screen with only a flashing cursor. I can exit that and initiate a shutdown with the three-fingered-salute. That brings a message about a stop job for the Snappy daemon, which also hangs for a very long time. Sorry I can't provide any further information. I'm handcuffed ... and frustrated as *bleep*. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767896 Title: Live images with broken seed causes snapd high CPU usage and periodic short GUI freezes Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: ThinkPad 25, UEFI mode, Ubuntu 18.04 installed as a _live_ distro in FAT32 partition on SATA SSD in WWAN slot.

The above "confirmed fixed" link is broken. If you'll pardon another ignorant question: when does this fix show up in distro? Just tried 18.10 and persistence renders live Ubuntu completely unusable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767896 Title: Live images with broken seed causes snapd high CPU usage and periodic short GUI freezes Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: ThinkPad 25, UEFI mode, Ubuntu 18.04 installed as a _live_ distro in FAT32 partition on SATA SSD in WWAN slot.
