 sauth | Hi | 13:13:51 |
| sauth | I am encountering a strange problem on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS | 13:14:18 |
| sauth | First off, the lock screen icon has disappeared | 13:20:41 |
| sauth | The second issue is that now I walk away from the computer and it will totally lock up. I can't REISUB, and have had to force a shutdown by holding the power button a good dozen times this week. | 13:21:33 |
| sauth | CPU cores are holding steady at 66C, memory, CPU usage, etc seem normal. Logs don't seem to show anything either. | 13:23:51 |

| @ulmls2230:tchncs.de | Hey, i have a question about ubuntu server LTS 2024, current version. i installed it on a ssd with lvm + luks. I want to extend lvm with another bigger hdd. i have the problem, that the blocksize of ubuntu server lvm is just 512. cause of the huge size of the hdd (16TB) it is using 4096. so it is not compatible.
Is there any way to install ubuntu server with 4096? and why is it not using it out of the box? Thanks | 14:42:57 |
 Nils | you can manually create the partitions before and then assign them in the installer. but i dont remember how flexible the new installer is | 14:44:30 |
| Nils | it lacks a lot of the stuff from the old instller | 14:44:46 |

| Nils | that said im not even sure if that is really relevant | 15:00:27 |
 michael fisher | Hey what's up nils long time no talk bro | 15:20:11 |
| Nils | all good | 15:21:20 |
| @ulmls2230:tchncs.de | In reply to @ravage:xentonix.net
it lacks a lot of the stuff from the old installer thank you. strange, i did not expect that it is that difficult. but would the installer not change the blocksize any way, even with existing partitions?
do you know if it is standard that it is using 512? Thought thats an old size though.

 ashugg | Well that's annoying. If you have another computer, are you still able to ping the first one? Can you ssh into it? | 15:57:05 |

 tmm627 | I'm having trouble with an Ubuntu 22.04 VM. Ever since I installed the recent set of updates including xorg update, I can't get to the login screen. SDDM says it cannot read display number from pipe. Has anyone else experienced this or know what to do? | 20:17:02 |
 wisely | ubuntu 24.04.1LTS, AMD Ryzen 7040, Radeon Graphycs, X11, kernel 6.8.0-47-generic.
When using dual display - the graphics display on the external monitor is larger and doesn't look proportional - changing the display of the external monitor to 100% (to reduce the size) causes the laptop's builtin monitor to loose its proper size.
any adivce | 20:36:55 |

| ashugg | Have you had a search online for that SDDM error? Here is one suggestion that delaying the startup of sddm by a few seconds resolved the issue for that person.

| ashugg | Some other things I saw suggested that after the updates were installed, if a kernel upgrade was included, the driver module for the display may not have been rebuilt - rebooting with the previous kernel, if possible, would be a good test to see if the display works | 21:13:05 |

| tmm627 | No kernel was updated at the time and manually restarting SDDM does not help. Makes sense as after I did a little more trouble shooting, I see that it's Xorg that is segfaulting | 21:38:38 |
