[Bug 1778011] Re: SRU: PRIME Power Saving mode draws too much power

2018-09-24 Thread Nikolaos Perrakis
Hello, I saw the request for testing from the article here:

http://albertomilone.com/blog/?p=670

I 'm running Ubuntu Mate 18.04 in a laptop with i5-7300hq and 1050ti.

I didn't know of the problems mentioned but I 'd taken to switching gpus
from the command line with prime-select and rebooting because of minor
problems with the nvidia application. I can run some tests and upload
logs if needed.

The drivers I use are:

$ apt policy nvidia-390
nvidia-390:
  Installed: 390.87-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1
  Candidate: 390.87-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1

[Bug 1770961] Re: Add options to set the snappy refresh schedule

2018-06-10 Thread Nikolaos Perrakis
I 'd prefer it if software and updates functionality could be used to
fully control how snaps update. For example if you can use the option to
download updates and prompt the user to upgrade but don't do it until
the user confirms it.

2018-06-06 Thread Nikolaos Perrakis
@ Frederik  not all the packages you install seem to be needed.

Even though, in my system, I have 2/3 installed (see below) I have a
working fedora workstation 28 VM.

```
$ apt policy qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-bin

[Bug 1762205] Re: GNOME boxes fails to start virtual os

2018-05-20 Thread Nikolaos Perrakis
Update:

The solution of appending `group=kvm` causes a problem when updating
packages such is nvidia binary drivers. This is the second package that
causes this, don't remember the first one. The error is:

```
# various stuff ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-20-generic
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse: 
/etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with 
'group=kvm'
# error gets repeated 30+ times
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ...
# various stuff ...
```

I am not sure how to fix it (potentially this may not even need to be an
error but a warning). Any ideas?

[Bug 1762205] Re: GNOME boxes fails to start virtual os

2018-05-10 Thread Nikolaos Perrakis
I have the same problem in Ubuntu Mate 18.04.

I was able to fix the problem following John's suggestion:


At first I looked for package dependencies:

$ apt-cache showpkg gnome-boxes

Then we look for qemu-system-x86 configuration files:

$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/qemu-system-x86.conffiles

Then we add `group=kvm` to 
/etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf

Then we add ourselves to the kvm group

$ sudo usermod -a -G kvm $USER

Since closing and restarting Boxes didn't work I rebooted and then I was
able to spin an Ubuntu 18.04 VM on my laptop with gnome-boxes.

[Bug 1644498] Re: apt-get update returns "AppStream cache update completed, but some metadata was ignored due to errors." periodically

2016-12-03 Thread Nikolaos Perrakis
I am still getting this error after running

sudo apt update

I m running fully upgraded Ubuntu 16.04.1 - here's appstream info

apt-cache policy appstream
appstream:
  Installed: 0.9.4-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.9.4-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 0.10.1-1~ubuntu16.04.1 100
100 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports/main amd64 
Packages
 *** 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 500
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 
Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 0.9.4-1 500
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages

As you can see I have 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 instead of 0.9.4-1ubuntu2 [that Dan
Mick (dmick-m) has].

Running:

sudo apt install appstream
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree   
Reading state information... Done
appstream is already the newest version (0.9.4-1ubuntu1).
appstream set to manually installed.

Should I just wait - or is there something else I need to do?

On a side note, because I usually run a custom command:

alias maintain='set -x; sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade; sudo apt
autoremove; sudo apt autoclean; set +x'

the error goes away on a subsequent sudo apt update (that I run to
reproduce the error) until some time passes and then it reappears. I
think I read somewhere this has to do with the sudo apt upgrade running
but I 'm not sure.

Hope that info helps.
