  1. GPU Fans Work Right in 18.10 But Not In 18.04.2 w/18.10 HWE Stack. Why?

    The video card here is an AMD Radeon Vega 64. The fans are designed not to run until the GPU temperature exceeds 60C.

    This works correctly using 18.10.

    This does not work correctly in 18.04.2....
  2. Re: Vega 64 Fans Idle Below 60C on 18.10; I Need To Duplicate That On 18.04

    My issue is the HWE kernel has not yet been released yet, the equivalent and later mainline kernels do not turn the fans off, and I've been looking for several weeks for an explanation....
  3. Re: Vega 64 Fans Idle Below 60C on 18.10; I Need To Duplicate That On 18.04

    The Hardware Enablement Stack won't be available until after 18.04.2 is released next month.

    Right now, anything running the shipping 18.04 kernel is not an option for me.
  4. Vega 64 Fans Idle Below 60C on 18.10; I Need To Duplicate That On 18.04

    The fans on my Vega 64 card are intended to be idle at GPU temperatures below 60C.

    This happens using 18.10. But, it does not happen using 18.04, where the card's fans are on constantly.

    My...
  5. Re: Why Is Gnome Now Prompting for Creation of a "Default Keyring"??

    Yes. It's been a very long time since I've come across it, though. Perhaps distributions have been doing something to get it out of the way but some recent change has resurfaced the thing. I see it...
  6. Why Is Gnome Now Prompting for Creation of a "Default Keyring"??

    Gnome in Disco is now prompting me with a dialogue to create a password for a "Default Keyring" whenever I attempt the initial setup of an account that requires authentication. E.g., one of the...

    Seems to me the dichotomy between users and developers is down to the expertise and experience required to be a developer. Rather like the dichotomy between an airline passenger and an aerospace...
  8. Re: Linux Browser Scrolling Bumps CPU Temp & Fan; Windows Does Not. Why?

    It's 18.04.1 with a mainline 4.18.8 kernel and the 396.43 Nvidia driver. (I've set the BIOS in both machines to the default state, without manually playing with fan speeds, to keep a baseline.)

  9. Re: Linux Browser Scrolling Bumps CPU Temp & Fan; Windows Does Not. Why?

    One system is an AMD Ryzen 2700x, 1080ti, 32-gig RAM, 27-inch 2560x1440 Asus Gsync display.

    The other is an Intel i7-8680k, Vega 64, 32-gig RAM, 27-inch 2560x1440 Freesync display.

    So, they are...
  10. Linux Browser Scrolling Bumps CPU Temp & Fan; Windows Does Not. Why?

    Scrolling in a Linux browser bumps CPU temperatures by several degrees and audibly spins up the CPU fans. It's annoying.

    I see this consistently on several Linux browsers, on a range of...

    Re: well Gnome :(

    If memory serves, that did not happen, at least officially, because Unity patches elements of Gnome in ways the latter did not want to incorporate.

    Re: well Gnome :(

    Won’t argue that the initial Unity releases were bumpy, but likewise with every FOSS product of comparable size and complexity that I’ve ever used. But Canonical made the correct choice not taking on...
  13. Re: gnome-system-monitor is a snap & still doesn't work in 18.04.1

    Fresh install. It was there in 18.04, as well.
  14. gnome-system-monitor is a snap & still doesn't work in 18.04.1

    Gnome-System-Monitor is installed as a Snap in 18.04. Ditto gnome-calculator.

    Neither snap has ever worked for me. They do not launch. So, I remove them and install the normal packages.

    Why...
  15. Swapped Video Cards,Additional Drivers Says Nvidia Binary Is Installed, But It Isn't

    I replaced the AMD card in an 18.04 machine with an Nvidia card, rebooted, used Additional Drivers to install the proprietary Nvidia driver, rebooted, and came back up on Nouveau.

    When I run...
  16. Filter Snap-derived "/dev/loop" Annoyances From System Monitor's File System Display?

    Anyone know how to filter all the snap-derived "dev/loops" put of Gnome System Monitor's File Systems display? I'm seeing a few dozen. Very annoying.
  17. Re: Are you happy about the switch to Gnome?

    Have always used a dock with multiple desktops arrangement, flipping between desktops as needed. Unity delivered that. Never quite saw the attraction of scopes/lenses and such and never used them.

  18. Will 18.04 Ubiquity Create Customary Swap File If Install on RAID O Array?

    The plan here is to build a new machine this weekend and use 2 identical NVME SSD’s in a RAID 0 setup, via mdadm.

    But first... two questions:

    1. All the advice Google has turned up for me...
  19. [SOLVED] Re: Still having no luck installing

    Believe those microcode updates are loaded on each boot. i.e., not burned permanently into the chip. Try installing the update in Live Mode and then doing to the install. (sudo won't ask for a...

    Thanks, @powerjas. That worked. Unplugged the ethernet cable, installed, rebooted successfully, plugged in the ethernet cable, updated, rebooted, and all is well.

    Sure seems like an issue with...
  21. Anyone Successfully Installed 18.04/Mint 19 From a New ISO in the Last Day Or So?

    Repeated installs of multiple 18.04 flavors here have all failed, with the initial post-install reboot going to the grub command line. Ditto Linux Mint 19 installs.

    This is on hardware that sees...

    AFAIK, WSL doesn't install an X server so what folks get is a terminal running Bash. That seems in keeping with the needs of developers, apparently Microsoft's primary WSL target. I.e., WSL is...
