They mention You can use journalctl to look at messages (things have changed since you last used Linux presumably). Try 'journalctl -k -b' to see kernel messages since the most recent boot. > TSC_Deadline > mce > dracut-pre-udev > > How desperate is this? Is it really telling me it's time to ditch that > laptop? Haven't seen those so I can't comment. However the kernel does tend to tell you about things you can't do anything about and aren't really a problem, e.g. I get a bunch of messages saying: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20170831/psargs-364) It's known bug that's been around for ages but doesn't seem to affect anything. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
