    I looked, but there does not seem to be such an option in the XPS 9570 BIOS.
  3. notebook fan comes on briefly every 15 seconds on XPS-15 9570

    I managed to install ubuntu 18.04.1 on an XPS-15 9570. as far as I can tell, it runs solid and everything is working. (I do not have or use a fingerprint reader.) this is due to the great work by...

    Re: cron (and logs)

    thank you, but it is not exactly what I am wondering about. (after the 50*conf surgery, the /var/log/cron.log has the same nice output as the journalctl.)

    cron (and logs)

    I am trying to figure out how cron works on ubuntu 17.10, and where program output goes. I uncommented the relevant line in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf, and saw /var/log/cron* appear. all good....

    plain vanilla ubuntu 17.10: I am trying to find out whether there are any programs that allow me to see from a remote location what is on the display head of my ubuntu desktop. (I do not want to...
  7. SSD as HDD cache, or apple fusion like facility

    I have a 128GB SDD and a 5TB HDD. I can use 64GB as my boot and root partitions, but 64GB is too small for all my user files. (same for 1TB.) alas, it would seem to me that this would be ideal for...
  8. Re: xps 13 (early 2016), flaky wifi and DNS, not Broadcom-related --- how to restart

    strangely, after I installed the intel wifi modem, it has begun to work. so, neither the broadcom nor the edimax usb wifi worked, and both had the same weird symptoms of losing DNS ("refused") after...

    I have been reading up on the many wifi issues on the xps13, 2015 model. a 2015 xps13 is not the latest hardware, so the drivers should work. alas, no. I thought given Dell's generic linux...
  12. Re: lxd: bridged automatic configuration tutorial?

    thanks, MAFOElffen (spell right? ;-) ). there are is a lot of novice-confusing lxc/lxd there. I understand that lxd is newer and simplified and better, but I never knew the old lxc, so I am...
  13. Re: lxd: bridged automatic configuration tutorial?

  15. Re: vmware-to-qemu with ubuntu host, uefi-arch guest

    I now suspect this is a GPT (either EFI or BIOS) problem with qemu. I get the same error in an arch install.

    Re: is 15.04 about to switch from upstart to systemd?

    good. so, am I guessing right that grub then sets an environment variable that induces the loader to invoke systemd instead of /sbin/init (which presumably is upstart)? and, once running, the...

    Re: utopic development 14.10: kernel = 3.13?

    definitely a broken updater. I have a long update log, but it omitted updating 736 out of 2115 files.

    so update-manager -d on gnome-ubuntu is flawed.

    fresh install needed.
