This was originally written to collect a series of tips about augmenting the build, but I have a problem with stability and reboot. Here are my notes …
\n<\/p>\n
The system often hangs and on reboot requires a manual fsck on reboot. think it was I ran this query, “why is ubuntu 20.04 so unstable, requires fsck to reboot<\/a>” on lmgtyfy, which gives nothing obvious.<\/p>\n One piece of correspondence suggests that the power subsystem is a problem, I have a battery that is very hard to fit into the enclave and thus the software fails to ‘see’ the battery.<\/p>\n What is the name of the pre-boot shell? How do you exit it to multi-user? One name is the single-user shell, but it looks more like a bios although many of the commands are UNIX commands.<\/p>\n It seems we now have ZFS<\/a>, which would be good if I knew how to use it. This, on ubuntu.com<\/a> suggests it might be the disk<\/em><\/strong>; the system is very old. It also gives me some ideas about looking at the logs. See also, Analyzing a Faulty Hard Disk using Smartctl<\/a><\/p>\n I installed The system is an HP Probook 5320m<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of the Firefox releases 96.1?, had a problem with sound, and one or two other things on ubuntu 20.<\/p>\nfsck \/dev\/sd5a<\/code>; it was and using the -y flag is good idea. The ‘net suggests that there are also problems with journal writes on close down which I have observed and I have also been stuck when performing an apt.<\/p>\nsmartmontools<\/code>.<\/p>\nConfiguration and augmentation<\/h3>\n
