When I attempted to wake my laptop this morning it was not responsive. I tried various key combinations without results up to and including ctl-alt-del and had to power down the machine. Looking in syslog I see: Apr 19 09:02:59 Z560 kernel: [42220.136272] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for...

For the past few days when I reboot my laptop I have been having intermittent problems with a phantom SCSI drive causing problems. When it occurs I see the following in dmesg: [ 7.749121] kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid [ 7.755807] kernel: scsi host0: ahci [ 7.756877] kernel:...

As noted in the subject I have 2G of storage being consumed in a sub-directory of /var/log/journal with a 30-odd hex digit name. The date on the files range from today back to September, 2022. What is in these files? What is the proper way to remove any that are no longer necessary? How can I keep i...

I had recently installed the 5.15.0-94 kernel and attempted to install a virtualbox update today. The install hung when it ran depmod in the process of updating the DKMS modules. I had to kill the update and recover from that. After trying several approaches to completing the install, all of which h...

I have just upgraded to the 5.15.0-94 kernel. The install created the following sub-directories in /usr/src: linux-headers-5.15.0-94-generic linux-hwe-5.15-headers-5.15.0-94 After the install I removed the 5.15.0-89 kernel via the mint update kernel listing. This did remove the linux-headers-5.15.0-...

Hello, dhdurgee. In all cases where Synaptic has been launched with root privileges (which will be the case usually), the Synaptic settings can be found inside the directory tree /root/.synaptic. The main file of interest will be synaptic.conf. In order to reset root's synaptic setings to default, ...

Nothing in that directory tree is recent and I made this error yesterday. So it isn't anywhere in that tree.

I was attempting to add some custom filters to my synaptic configuration and somehow managed to clobber the filters that were provided with synaptic. All of the filters now reflect my custom filter as opposed to what they were originally. Where does synaptic store these definitions? I would like to ...

I just thought to check what synaptic showed and searching for "linux-hwe" shows as "installed" the headers from 0-46 on to 0-91 here. I manually removed the directories for 0-46 to 0-88, so perhaps I should have used synaptic to remove them. Does this give a clue to my problem? ...

Yes, I am running LM20.3 here as well. Are you upgrading kernels as they come available? I have been updating shortly after each new release and from my experience none of the related source directories had been removed when I removed the older kernel afterward. I install the newer kernel using the...

I have been having problems with my root drive being almost full for a while. Today I checked into this and found about 3G of /usr/src directories related to kernels that have been removed after I updated to the supported kernel. These files should be deleted when the kernel is removed as well. I h...

Here is the current kernel related listing on my system from /usr/src: drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Nov 24 16:12 linux-headers-5.15.0-89-generic drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 8 20:12 linux-headers-5.15.0-91-generic drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Nov 24 16:12 linux-hwe-5.15-headers-5.15.0-89 drwxr-xr-...

I just encountered something strange this morning with xreader. I was attempting to view a PDF file and received the following error: dhdurgee@z560:~/Downloads$ xreader MGC_2023-12-22.pdf xreader: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: GST_CMT_REGISSRY I ...

I had to restart my system this morning as it became partially non-responsive. What does "partially" non-responsive mean? Please open the System Reports app and click the System Information tab on the left. Your computer's information should come up in the right pane. Then click the Copy ...

I had to restart my system this morning as it became partially non-responsive. System monitor showed low CPU but constantly increasing load. After restarting I check syslog and see the following: Dec 5 11:05:24 Z560 kernel: [930586.267071] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address...

Just download latest memtest86+ and make live USB with it.

I installed memtest86+5.01-3 using synaptic from the repository as I wanted to test my memory. When I boot to run it my system freezes. I did a search and it appears that this is a known problem with that release: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1876157 The solution appears...
