Hi all,
Following Andrew's exhortations at the last main meeting, I built 5.1 and
installed it on my laptop.
My 3 AMD GPU bugs are all fixed! Very impressive, since I haven't had any
Bugzilla email about them for months. At least, I suppose they're fixed: the
symptoms don't show any more. On checking logs I saw 1 Oops (from 3 boots), and
it looked similar to the ones I used to see all the time.
Confidently I installed 5.1 as my default desktop system. This was a disaster.
The system came up to the login prompt very quickly, without changing from the
initial terminal font to a smaller one as it usually did. There was a message
from INIT that "SV" was respawning too quickly. When I supplied user name and
password, I just got the login prompt again.
I went back to 5.0 and checked what was in debug.log (which logs everything).
And there was nothing at all! No hint that 5.1 had ever started - just a 7
minute gap between the last 5.0 shutdown and 5.0 starting.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to report this - does anyone have a
suggestion?
Cheers ... Duncan.
=======================
Have you seen this email before? Please mail me off-list if so.
I originally sent this on 13th May but didn't see it come back.

I have been intending to buy this drive for back up of my Linux boxen but
Googling shows that some people at least are having trouble with Porsche
drives. I understand I can't install the software as it is Mac but then I
don't want to.
Is there any reason why this particular drive won't work as a standard USB3
on Ubuntu and Devuan laptops?

We are working on our annual cool projects issue and are still looking for
a few more articles. Are your LUGS working on cool projects? If so, would
you or someone you know be interested in writing an article for us? Email
ljeditor(a)linuxjournal.com if you have an idea for an article, and note that
the deadline for that issue is July 10th.
As a thank you, here are the links for the* Linux Journal* -- Deep Dive
Collection Ebook for everyone in your LUG.
Our Deep Dive Collection is indeed deep, coming in at 800+ pages! As such,
we've provided it in two ebook formats. Please follow the version link(s)

Hello Community Advisory Members,
holepunch.io [https://holepunch.io/signup] is a new tunneling service developed by some folks at London Trust Media (our parent company), and they'd like to share it with you for free. The service is currently in beta testing, and we are sending this out to you, our LUG community advisors. We would appreciate if you could also pass this along to your LUG members.
The development team would love to hear your feedback, so please tell them what you like or don't like, and let them know if you find any bugs (email [support(a)holepunch.io]).
You can use holepunch.io [https://holepunch.io/signup] to host a website locally over http or https and share it with friends or clients via a public URL (support for tcp or udp coming in the near future). To get started, simply sign up [https://holepunch.io/signup] and then go to the download page [https://holepunch.io/download] to get the punch CLI that you will use for starting a tunnel. You also can use the CLI to do other things [https://holepunch.io/docs], like reserving a specific subdomain to use for your site.
Now, other services similar to holepunch.io do exist, but holepunch.io is focused on providing the best quality at a lower price while being more private, secure and open than other options. The holepunch.io team is making business, architectural and development decisions that will allow you to trust your data going through their service. You already can find much of their code on github [https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/holepunch].
The development team would love to hear your feedback, so please tell them what you like or don't like, and let them know if you find any bugs (email [support(a)holepunch.io]).
Thanks,
Linux Journal and the Holepunch.io teams

*Abstract:* What do self driving cars, power grids and homeostasis in
biology have in common? Seemingly not much. If one looks "under the
hood", however, one discovers that they all rely on a common principle
that renders their operation robust and reliable. This principle, known
as feedback, is intuitive: see where you are, compare to where you want
to be, and move in the direction that reduces the difference between the
two. Though the feedback principle itself is simple to explain,
understanding its implications, uses and limitations is far from it and
forms the topic of a branch of engineering known as automatic control.

I have a WD passport USB drive that has been working fine.
Just plugged it in and get input / output errors and it won't mount.
Mounted it manually with
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt
it mounts fine and ls shows this.
ls: cannot access 'Locale': Input/output error

I have no idea what Locale is and there seems to be no way to do anything
with it.
Any suggesting apart from using rsync to copy everything else off the drive
and formatting it?
Stripes.

I am looking to get a 2 in 1 laptop with a touch screen for
personal / hobbyist use.
I would like 512 GB of storage for Linux (datafiles), but also to be
able to boot Windows.
I have been on various manufacturers and retailers websites and can
find only limited technical information
I don't think the SSD available / supported are large enough for dual
boot. I am therefore thinking of getting something with a M.2 SSD
socket, and changing over the card depending on which O/S I want to use.
Swapping cards does not strike me as problem (I did it regularly on my
previous laptop)
Can anyone advise where linux support for touch screens is at? (I
heard some dated stories that it is not there yet - I'd like to run
opensuse (kde), but hear Gnome (ubuntu) offers better support, happy
to try other distos if suggested )
Can anyone advise about '2 in 1s' and whether / which have replaceable
M.2 SSD cards?
Many thanks,
H
