Hey guys, has anyone experienced something like this: pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, id=00e0(Receiver ID)? It's been happening for a while, but today my computer stopped booting altogether. I followed some of the solutions around, like: https://askubuntu.com/questions/863150/pcie-bus-error-severity-corrected-type-physical-layer-id-00e5receiver-id

None of them worked and I ended up re-installing ubuntu. And now the message is popping up again, despite me still being able to boot up. For now.

For reference, the device pointed by the error is: 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev f1)

Videonauth

well what pcie devices you have in your machine? only gpu? you can try to switch to another gpu if you have one laying around and check if the error still happens, can as well be a temperature problem of the pcie bridge

Rodrigo Silva

00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Skylake PCIe Controller (x16) (rev 07)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H USB 3.0 xHCI Controller (rev 31)
00:14.2 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H Thermal subsystem (rev 31)
00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H CSME HECI #1 (rev 31)
00:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 31)

That's the full list of pcie devices. Hm, I'll monitor the temperatures, though I don't think that's the issue. Why would it work after reinstalling ubuntu?

Videonauth

cooled down maybe while doing so another thing i could think of is, did you upgrade your kernel lately before that happened?

Rodrigo Silva

Hm, not that I'm aware of. No way of knowing now though :(

Videonauth

what you could try is install one kernel version below and see if the error happens there as well when you boot with that kernel

Rodrigo Silva

00:52

Well the error has been happening for a while, even in 17.10 (I'm in 18 now). But only today it prevented me from booting

Videonauth

mhmmmm

Rodrigo Silva

Yep, it's a bit weird.

It's asking me to restart. Not sure if I should

Brb

Hopefully

I survived. Still spamming the error.

Videonauth

no clue really, this can be a faulty gpu, this can be the bridge itself, this can be a firmware issue since its able to correct the error but runs into it again.

but if is spamming the log something is probably not right

could be a drive issue too

Rodrigo Silva

Thing is, why does it not let me boot up if the firmware is able to correct the issue?

Should I report this or something?

Videonauth

what baffles me is that it persists over different ubuntu versions so it is most likely no bug

Rodrigo Silva

01:01

I can hide the message messing with the boot flags, but that's just hiding and postponing the issue until it comes back and hits me even harder

How can I take a closer look at things?

Videonauth

no clue right now

if its the hardware then even less of a clue

Rodrigo Silva

I shouldn't forget to commit my code now then

Videonauth

yes

that it is spamming that message in the logs, at what rate the log grows with those message spam?

at least you can determine how often this hardware gets called

is that a desktop system?

Rodrigo Silva

Nope, it's a laptop.

It appears to be called around 20 times per second, I would say

Wait no, it's 4 lines per error, so... Around 5

Videonauth

still pretty fast

Rodrigo Silva

01:12

The GPU should be called more often, though, right?

Videonauth

yes

Rodrigo Silva

pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, id=00e0(Receiver ID)

Physical layer, as in, DMA level error?

Or is it a bit higher up?

Videonauth

Now you ask me things where my knowledge ends

Rodrigo Silva

Oh well, thanks anyway! I guess I'll just wait for the inevitable doomsday

And then worry about it

Videonauth

wonder whats this reciever is with this id

Rodrigo Silva

01:15

Any idea how I can find out?

Not sure what that id refers to

Videonauth

i would try to google it

google.com/…

I have Ubunuu 16.10 (although the same happened on 16.04) on a dual boot with Windows 10. I noticed some time ago that my kern.log file was getting pretty big (10GB or more) so I decided to check it. The same error seems to be repeating every second or less: Dec 19 17:31:01 andrew kernel: [ 99...

Rodrigo Silva

I think I'll add that boot flag again

The noaer thing

At least it won't spam the log files

It looks like it still is an open-issue

Videonauth

seems so yes

but why that caused your system to fail completely no clue

Rodrigo Silva

It would just hang, not actually fail.

And that message just started popping up, non-stop.

So I'm assuming they're related.

Videonauth

not necessarily

Rodrigo Silva

01:22

Yep, I can now see my flawed thinking hehe

Videonauth

well, I'm off to bed, its half past 3 am

:)

Rodrigo Silva

Oh, so you're on my side of the ocean

Anyway, thanks for your help! Good night :)

Do you rather refer to its usage, which may or may not be illegal in certain countries?

Oh, ok – you’re welcome. :)

@dessert Yeah. I know a Project named "Project Butter" that uses the same software, but only content they have are free public domains films.

@videonauth no worries - it did :)

Videonauth

ok :)

vidarlo

Videonauth

i mean the one i sent today

vidarlo

yeah, got it :)

Videonauth

ah ok cool then maybe (its international mail) so maybe friday

cool cool cool

hops around

vidarlo

yeah, 3-4 days. Sending it as normal letter :)

Videonauth

did i get this right, you have 4 x 8GB modules of which one is bad ?

doesnt matter i will for sure mix the ones in slot B then

this will for sure double the ram amount i have right now

vidarlo

3x8GB

Videonauth

14:16

ah and one of em is bad?

vidarlo

yep

which one? No idea.

Videonauth

doesnt matter still is plenty ram

i will find out

vidarlo

hehe, yeah

Videonauth

bring me to having 16 and 8

so 24

now i have 12

still doubling my ram

and if the third is not 100% bad i might even get to 28, but we will see, will run a ram test on them to find the one

maybe it even works if running at a lower frequency

dessert

14:32

What are you guys doing to need so much ram? I’m happy with 4 GB here, the other laptop has 2 GB and my server just 1.5 GB…

Videonauth

@dessert well as for me math calculations in large size, like mandelbrot and the like

if you provide me enough ram i could as well easily fill 256 GB of ram

plus all GPU ram i can get my hands on

:D

@dessert ^ taken right now

dessert

wow oO

Videonauth

im fascinated by fractals

gpu ram is about 95% full

more and it would lag out gnome and the whole desktop GUI

which are another 4GB

Arnaud Denoyelle

14:51

Hi everyone. Sometimes I see developers declaring aliases in a dedicated .bash_alias file sourced from .bashrc. Is there an equivalent practice for declaring variables used to personalize the PATH?

Videonauth

yes, mostly done in .profile

but keep in mind that .profile is sourced only at login

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Arnaud Denoyelle

Would something like .bash_profile a good idea instead? I want my coworkers to be able to change it and be able to try/error without relogging.

Videonauth

you can put paths as well in .bashrc

but then they get sources every time you close and reopen the terminal

Rinzwind

@ArnaudDenoyelle anything in their home that is parsed during login would do. so bashrc but also bash_profile.

Arnaud Denoyelle

ok, thanks.

Rinzwind

14:57

mind that bash_profile sometimes is not included

Videonauth

.debian uses .bash_profile ubuntu calles that file .profile

bash profile is not sourced by default on ubuntu

Arnaud Denoyelle

Oh, nice, I did not understand why I could not find .bash_profile. You answered my slient question :D

Videonauth

hehehe

Rinzwind

@ArnaudDenoyelle bash_profile is sometimes added at the end of bashrc

or the other way around :X

Arnaud Denoyelle

That seems bad, isn't it? bash_profile should be for login shells only if I understood correctly

Rinzwind

15:03

This is normally in bash_profile if both are used:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi

@ArnaudDenoyelle it is probably the other way then I 1st posted :)

Zanna

I would expect .bash_profile to be sourced if it existed (and it existing would cause .profile to be ignored)

Rinzwind

its been a while since I dealt with that :X like 10 yeard or so

man bash:

/bin/bash
The bash executable
/etc/profile
The systemwide initialization file, executed for login shells
~/.bash_profile
The personal initialization file, executed for login shells
~/.bashrc
The individual per-interactive-shell startup file
~/.bash_logout
The individual login shell cleanup file, executed when a login shell exits
~/.inputrc
Individual readline initialization file

Zanna

@Videonauth that it enough for PATH though, isn't it?

If you want to change it for the session, just assign to it...

Videonauth

@Zanna yep it is, if you want to be fancy and are not sure if the path exists you can do an if to check beforehand

Zanna

things will not work if PATH is not set

:)

Rinzwind

15:08

EOWD. BBL.
(*) end of working day

Videonauth

if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi

@Zanna example

Zanna

Which Files Should We Modify?
As a general rule, to add directories to your PATH, or define additional environment vari-
ables, place those changes in .bash_profile (or equivalent, according to your distri-
bution. For example, Ubuntu uses .profile.) For everything else, place the changes in
.bashrc. Unless you are the system administrator and need to change the defaults for
all users of the system, restrict your modifications to the files in your home directory. It is
certainly possible to change the files in /etc such as profile, and in many cases it

Videonauth

same you can do with your path additions

Zanna

from The Linux Command Line

Videonauth

it never hurts to check if a location is existent and then and only then declare a path to it

Zanna

15:14

so afaik you should not create .bash_profile or .bash_login if you want .profile to be read (which you may well do because .profile is what we have by default on Ubuntu)

@Videonauth you mean we should parse PATH for something and if it's not there then add it?

Videonauth

no lets say you want to include $home/bin to the path it does not hurt to wrap this in an if test to check if bin is there before you add an path to it

Zanna

as the default .profile does...

$ grep -A3 bin ~/.profile
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

Videonauth

i think IIRC
if [ -e "$HOME/bin]; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

yep

Zanna

yeah but with -d - exists and is a directory

Videonauth

yes true -d is a better option here

Zanna

15:20

you remember well though haha :)

Videonauth

well not really, only remembering a bit of syntax and how to structure problems :)

I have no appetite (once again) and don't know what to cook for dinner. :-(

dessert

@DavidFoerster if you don’t want to eat, why not simply skip the meal?

Elder Geek

@Fabby Thank you.

@DavidFoerster Sadly I cannot reproduce your problem. Likely that's why I'm 20 lbs. overweight.. ;-)

David Foerster

@dessert Unfortunately I still suffer from the consequences of hunger like hypoglycemia-induced head aches if I don't eat.

I am very much hungry or will be in a short while.

But I also don't want to stuff random food into my mouth just to get rid of it.

dessert

@DavidFoerster Oh, that’s bad – sometimes, I eat only once per day when I’m studying the whole, too concentrated to feel hunger anyway…

Fabby

@ElderGeek I win: 20 Kg!

@dessert Me too; but it catches up on me at 22:00 and then I eat too much!

(way too late)

dessert

18:32

How do you define overweight? I mean, how do you determine how much you should “normally” weigh?

David Foerster

@dessert Same, but I feel terrible afterwards in the rare case that I can maintain a flow despite the head ache.

Videonauth

@dessert a body mass index of 24 to 26 is normal weight

Elder Geek

@Fabby indeed by a factor of 2.2. I've been going to the gym 3 times a week with my son in a feeble attempt to drop a few... For my height

Fabby

@dessert My doctor told me to lose 20 Kg because I have a "Foie gras"... (Fetten Leber)

Elder Geek

@dessert for my height I should probably weigh in at about 185 lbs.

David Foerster

18:34

@Videonauth I always read it's 20–25 between the age of 18 and 50 roughly.

Fabby

@Videonauth 28 has the highest life expectancy, 29 is lower than 26, 30 lower than 22...

Videonauth

@DavidFoerster 20 is already very very low, but i guess thats interpretation from doc to doc

dessert

but the relevance of the BMI is highly disputed, isn’t it?

Fabby

@dessert There is a correlation between life expectancy and BMI

(correlation, not causation!) :D

David Foerster

@dessert For individuals yes. For entire populations it's still a very good indicator of the prevalence of under- or overweight.

dessert

18:36

@Fabby well there’s also a correlation between garlic consumption and life expectancy ;D

Fabby

@dessert Yup... Italians live longer although they eat a lot of carbohydrates

Garlic is a natural antibiotic...

David Foerster

For individuals BMI is still ok to use as a first impression before taking into account more complicated or difficult to measure factors.

I'm at 23 so I shouldn't gain more weight but I don't need to make an effort to loose any either.

Videonauth

i not even dare to openly discuss my BMI .... (which is 31 at the moment)

but was at 34 about half a year ago

lost already 20Kg and still 20 to go to reach at least 26-27

David Foerster

It was 19 until ~3 years ago. I guess I finally reached the age where my base energy consumption drops off steeply.

@Videonauth Congrats on the achievement!

Videonauth

@DavidFoerster well i have to, my diebetes is not to control otherwise

RobotHumans

18:42

It's also not just life expectancy. People in high poverty "dirtier" countries are more at risk, and they eat more heavily spiced foods. If I ever don't feel well, I just have a hearty curry and it fixes mild problems. People in Louisiana also eat a lot of garlic (particularly stewed) and aside from being a natural antibiotic, it also keeps away disease bearing mosquitoes.

David Foerster

@RobotHumans You just gave me an idea for dinner. Thanks!

Elder Geek

RobotHumans

@DavidFoerster If you're looking for a good curry recipe, I really like this one, although it's not particularly red, yellow, or green. More of an orange.

David Foerster

@ElderGeek I am too but I have little motivation to do so if I if it's only for myself and I don't even look forward to the taste.

@RobotHumans Morocco? Your education screams USA, but Harira is a Moroccon soup that I've never seen outside of Morocco, even in Moroccon restaurants.

RobotHumans

Videonauth

Fabby

Videonauth

but i want ubuntu ... :D

RobotHumans

I was looking at some other recipe that wanted salt cured lemons, and wound up degrees of separation arriving at harira. @Fabby

Fabby

18:55

@RobotHumans I can make salted cured lemons...

Easy:
1. wash the lemons thoroughly
2. cut the lemons in 4 without completely cutting through them.

3. add one coffee spoon of sugar inside the cutsµ

RobotHumans

When I saw the salt cured lemons, I started wondering about other salt cured citrus fruits for other dishes. Like salt cured oranges to go in an orange chicken remix.

Fabby

@RobotHumans Cool!

4. pack them tight in a container than can be sealed and that resists boiling hot water

RobotHumans

Yeah, I have a set of mason jars.

Fabby

5. boil water and add 1/2 coffee spoon of salt per lemon

6. throw boiling hot salted water over lemons

7. Seal container.

8. put in a dry,cool, dark place for 6 months.

Alternatively, fly into Morocco and buy them there.

RobotHumans

Recipe I saw applied the salt directly to the flowered lemons. Then a touch more. Juice from the last two (5 for a pint mason jar). A touch of boiling hot sugar-water to fill it up. And the lid.

Fabby

19:00

Which reminds me I forgot to do something for someone: send a recipe!

@RobotHumans Wrong way around. the ones containing more sugar than salt are amazing...

David Foerster

@Videonauth For a moment there I thought of a breezy badger instead of a dead one.

Fabby

@RobotHumans Poor people: more salt than sugar. Rich people: more sugar than salt...

Videonauth

hehehe

RobotHumans

Seems right. I think the recipe is for proper Moroccan lemons which are sweeter than US lemons.

Fabby

it's like the milk or tea first kinda thing... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK, need to go back downstairs to my work machine to send someone something.

Hey y'all, this isn't The Frying Pan. ;-]

RobotHumans

I'ld like to think that a linux user group would have more cultural diversity than a cooking user group, so you can get more mom's recipes and less anglocized ones, but point taken.

Fabby

Tea first, milk next = upper class

RobotHumans

I don't ever add anything to tea or coffee. If it's not good enough out of the box, it's not good enough.

notable exception being cuban coffee, I do add sugar to that one

Fabby

I still need to visit Cuba, but I want to do India first!

Videonauth

@RobotHumans Coffee Arabica, about 3 teaspoons of sugar on 400ml and add milk till its caremll creamy colored, let it cool down and put it in the freezer till it is nice cold, then server it with vanilla ice and icing on top

Fabby

Funny how you can see at my rep-curve when I was on holiday

RobotHumans

You can visit little cuba in FL and get all the same food/drink. India would be nice, but I have a black mark there already for being denied a visa once.

@Videonauth I don't like coffee mild or sweet. I'm more a fan of hard coffee. Like cuban or turkish.

Videonauth

@RobotHumans what i described there is a dessert

nice for warm summer days

RobotHumans

Yeah, as a dessert I'm more of a one shot liquid coffee liquer apertif kind of guy.

There was a mexican restaurant in chicago that served that one.

RobotHumans

If you need a dessert that big, you didn't eat enough dinner ;)

FD: It looks good, but I don't eat sweets.

Videonauth

well if i would eat as i did before my dinner would have been about 10 times as big as that and still i would have enjoyed this afterwards :D

anyone feels patient enought to edit this formatting and editing nightmare --> askubuntu.com/q/1041320

Fabby

@Videonauth I'll take it.

Gedit to the rescue!

thank you

Duplicate votes needed

@Videonauth @RobotHumans @ByteCommander @NathanOsman ---^

Videonauth

@Fabby already voted on that one

RobotHumans

I vtc-ed as a show of support for @NathanOsman but I'm not sure it's a total duplicate. Maybe a merge, because SSH is also valid as an answer to the one, but not the other.

dessert

How is that a dupe? One is a general and the other a specific question.

Fabby

Yeah... I voted because it had 2 new low-quality answers in the last half hour

RobotHumans

In fact, I'ld merge in to the newer question not the older, since it's broader.

Fabby

20:10

Better duplacate to Natahn's Nitroshare than a protect.

dessert

I think there should be an answer to the general question covering Nitroshare, with a link to the “How to install” question.

RobotHumans

Perfectly valid opinion. I'm more of a merge them guy, even if it's in the opposite direction of the CV. I do think Nitroshare is a much cleaner solution.

Fabby

Done for today: Going to watch a movie and sleep...

RobotHumans

Kk. I posted a CW answer in the interim askubuntu.com/questions/731975/…

dessert

@RobotHumans got my UV already

RobotHumans

20:19

@dessert Yeah. I really think it should be a merge and there are notes about deleting it and it being CW, because it's a copy pasta.

Byte Commander

20:38

It's not a dupe

And it shouldn't be merged either

If anything, add an answer about Nitroshare to that question

There should be no other relation between those two questions IMO.

RobotHumans

Either way. I just made my opinion known and handled it in the most reasonable way I saw to make it as useful as possible for all users.

Byte Commander

Merge is complicated

It's manual mod work, and if one wanted to unmerge one would have to send an employee into the dark realms of the database servers and do some SQL magic.

RobotHumans

shrugs mods can certainly clear the CV flag if they want. doesn't bother me either way, I just did what I thought was most correct.

Byte Commander

Also the criteria for a merge is that the questions both have useful and well received answers and are exactly the same, i.e. all potential answers for one fit the other.

RobotHumans

FD: I don't think there's a good answer to what should happen with those two questions. It's arguable in both directions - merge, don't merge, dupe because the solution end step is the same, etc, etc...

videonauth?

dessert

@Thufir you need an @: @Videonauth -^

Thufir

@Videonauth hi

Videonauth

ah it lives :D

Thufir

slept in :)

Videonauth

did you manage to get it sorted?

Thufir

21:38

haven't started yet. never encountered an error like that.

the problem is that it tried to install a package, but...something went wrong?

Videonauth

understandably

indeed you messed up your installation of the apt package and who knows what packages else but you can check that in /var/log/apt/histroy.log

Thufir

to what end, though? then remove packages?

Videonauth

yes first thou i think you need to manually reinstall the apt package with dpkg

maybe you need to force it because for the system your doing a downgrade

and download it via browser from the link i provided

Thufir

okay, I think I get the drift. thanks. might take me a bit, so don't hang about on my account :)

Videonauth

no im fine and here just ping me if you have questions, watching a let's play of a game i never will be able to play because i not own a ps4 and never will :)

unless i get rich somehow :D

game is: DETROIT become human
