I saw several bugs and error messages when I was looking by chance into the tool called "logs".

Being a newbie in Ubuntu I have no idea how to deal with these bugs, where to report them or how to fix them. Any help to guide me here?

The bug I have (which is listed under important) reads:

[Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x52 (or later)

  • Search AskUbuntu for the key text related to each bug. All have probably been asked and answered already. Example: The 'DEADLINE' notification is not a bug at all - it's notifying you to take an action. – user535733 Dec 10 '17 at 15:50

    Assuming this is just an *example* and you really *are* looking for information on how to report bugs, rather than for how to solve that particular problem, see [How do I report a bug?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/5121/how-do-i-report-a-bug) As for this *specific* problem, I believe [N0rbert's solution](https://askubuntu.com/a/984971/22949) should help you. – Eliah Kagan Dec 11 '17 at 02:07

Just install intel-microcode with sudo apt-get install intel-microcode and reboot.

If it does not help, try to update your BIOS.

It was already reported to launchpad as bug 1724650.

  • I tried your first suggestion and now this bug is gone from my log :-) There are still other things of course, so I'll try to look around and see how they can be fixed. Thanks a lot. – Nermeen Hussein Dec 11 '17 at 08:59

    +1. One small thing, you might need to enable restricted repo first to install/update `intel-microcode`. – pomsky Dec 12 '17 at 13:22
  • How can I enable restricted PPA please? Very ignorant about linux I'm afraid ;( – Nermeen Hussein Dec 12 '17 at 13:24

    @NermeenHussein It might already be enabled. If not, you can [open "Software & Updates" and enable it](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XlsXc.png). – pomsky Dec 12 '17 at 13:29
  • Ok, I opened it and the item you highlighted is already ticked. – Nermeen Hussein Dec 12 '17 at 13:35
  • How can I run sudo if I'm in BusyBox and can't login in Ubuntu? – Dmitrii Magas Feb 04 '18 at 11:57

    How should I sudo if I stuck in intramfs? Event if I try to load from usb stick, I still end up with "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" – Dmitrii Magas Apr 30 '18 at 15:35
  • I run from live CD where this bug message arrive. Should I install microcode in Live CD. And my os installation from live CD is stuck in detecting file system. I don't know this situation is occurred whether for this bug or not. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1039487/18-04-installation-stuck-in-detecting-file-system – alhelal May 23 '18 at 23:23
