[07:38] <PHLin> xnox, hello
[07:38] <PHLin> xnox, today I encountered this issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpadlib/+bug/1583741
[07:39] <PHLin> xnox, bjf told me that you have a fix for that, and maybe it's not released yet
[07:57] <xnox> true.
[07:57] <xnox> i should fix that
[08:52] <PHLin> xnox, thanks
[16:23] <`ph8> Hi all
[16:24] <`ph8> I've found a fix for a problem i'm having on Xenial, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89055
[16:24] <`ph8> It says it'll be "available upstream in Kernel 4.8"
[16:24] <`ph8> can anyone tell me how to get Kernel 4.8 on Xenial? Is it possible?
[18:25] <jsalisbury> `ph8, you can get the v4.8-rc1 kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8-rc1/
[18:25] <jsalisbury> `ph8, that kernel is only suggested for testing.  Can you also open a launchpad bug, so we can get the patch sru'd into Ubuntu?
[19:14] <tjaalton> there is no single patch
[19:15] <tjaalton> for skl watermarks
[19:15] <tjaalton> it's a huge mess
[19:15] <tjaalton> and still not actually fixed upstream
[19:15] <tjaalton> 4.8 might get it right in the end
[19:40] <ph8> Hi all, sorry to be a pain but i was here earlier asking about Kernel 4.8 and how to get it on Xenial, then my internet connection completely lost it and i never saw whether anyone responded
[19:40] <ph8> did anyone answer?
[19:44] <jsalisbury> ph8,  you can get the v4.8-rc1 kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8-rc1/
[19:44] <jsalisbury> ph8,  that kernel is only suggested for testing.  Can you also open a launchpad bug, so we can get the patch sru'd into Ubuntu?
[19:45] <ph8> that sounds like fun
[19:45] <ph8> what's an SRU? A backport type thing?
[19:46] <jsalisbury> ph8, basically.  It's a stable release update.
[19:46] <jsalisbury> ph8 If you are not familiar with how to open a bug, the following wiki page should help:
[19:46] <jsalisbury> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[19:47] <ph8> i think i'm going to find it's mentioned in many other bugs
[19:47] <ph8> just doing some cross referencing
[19:47] <ph8> this seems to describe it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1553503
[19:48] <jsalisbury> ph8, Thanks possible.  You can add comments to those bugs and mention that you are affected as well.
[19:48] <jsalisbury> ph8, if you comment on an existing bug, you can add the tag 'kernel-da-key' to ensure I see it for the backporting.
[19:49] <jsalisbury> ph8, An easier way a bug can be opened verses reading that whole wiki is by running the following from a terminal:
[19:49] <jsalisbury> ubuntu-bug linux
[19:53] <ph8> nice one jsalisbury, i added the tag to this bug and commented to show it affects me: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1553503
[19:53] <ph8> thanks!
[19:53] <jsalisbury> ph8, great, I'll review that bug and comment as well.
[19:53] <ph8> thanks, i mean this isn't exactly my problem
[19:53] <ph8> but that bug is a bug that i think affects me
[19:54] <ph8> My second screen just doesn't come on and i get a stack trace that matches the freedesktop bug report
[19:54] <ph8> (well, it flickers, crashes X etc)
[19:55] <jsalisbury> ph8, ack.  I'm going to ask for some testing in the bug you mention to narrow things down.
[19:55] <ph8> Amazing, thanks!
[19:56] <ph8> do you think me trying 4.8 in the meantime is a terrible idea?
[19:56] <ph8> It's a laptop i work on every day ;-)
[19:58] <jsalisbury> ph8, It's worth a test.  You can always uninstall it and boot back into the supported kernel.  There is some documentation on that here:
[19:58] <jsalisbury> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds
[19:58] <ph8> Thanks again!
[20:04] <jsalisbury> np
[20:45] <tjaalton> jsalisbury: did you see my comments? :)
[20:49] <tjaalton> jsalisbury, ph8: upstream is still working on that, 4.8-rc1 isn't fresh enough
[21:16] <jsalisbury> tjaalton, thanks for the update.  Your comment was scrolled off.  
[21:42] <tjaalton> jsalisbury: ok, added a short comment that it's still being worked on upstream
