new precision 5510 w/ ubuntu / lshw internal error after update
Hi there, today i received my brand new precision 5510 with ubuntu preinstalled :-D
My first experiences this afternoon :
- I'm loving it.
- I got regular wifi disconnections so i followed the instructions given by Barton in this thread :
en.community.dell.com/.../19678137
It seems it did the trick.
- I also searched for updates by doing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, as per Barton's instructions. There were many of them.
BUT now i'm getting an internal error everytime i restart the machine. The log mentions
Executable path : /usr/bin/lshw
Problem type : Crash
And then lots of information (i'm not sure what is useful to report).
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance !

I have also done these steps and had the same error. I reported it several times and then checked the box that says something like "don't report this again"

I have a 2014 XPS 13 (9333) that I've updated to Ubuntu 15.10 (clean install). About once a month something crashes, then keeps pestering me about sending in another report. I've created an alias to simply remove the crash log file which cures the problem:
alias crashrm='sudo rm /var/crash/*'

Apparently they need to patch lshw.
I am getting segmentation faults when running as root to report the current HW config.
The workaround is to use:

thanks for your responses. I actually have another (critical) problem, but will create a new thread for that one :-)
