[16:49] <rellis> Hello all. I'm trying to use the linux-aws package provided by the Ubuntu kernel team to get a newer version of the ixgbevf driver. However after I install the package I'm still seeing the old 2.12.1-k driver version. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? or am I misunderstanding the release notes talking about a newer version of this driver?
[17:40] <ogasawara> rellis: ah, sorry, that's expected right now as we were seeing issues with the newer version of the driver.  We're working on getting that sorted asap to provide a newer driver again.
[17:41] <rellis> ogasawarasa: Thank you for the response. I was able to install the LTS enablement kernel to get version 3.2.2-k
[17:41] <rellis> which I hope won't be fubar :)
[17:41] <rellis> although i would like to be able to use linux-aws
[17:42] <ogasawara> rellis: cool, that should work for you.  Any feedback you have on the 3.2.2 version of that driver from the LTS enablement kernel would be great.
[17:42] <rellis> ogasawara: Would you just like feedback in this channel? or is there a ticket or anything?
[17:42] <ogasawara> rellis: I'll try to remember to ping you when we have linux-aws with an updated ixgbevf
[17:42] <rellis> thanks
[17:42] <ogasawara> rellis: informal feedback in this channel is fine
[17:43] <rellis> cool
[17:45] <kamal> rellis, I think I'm about to make you very happy ...  :-)   https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/ubuntu/test-linux-aws/+packages
[17:46] <rellis> oh you rock sir
[17:46] <rellis> i was just updating the chef recipe to go install the hwe kernel too :)
[17:46] <kamal> rellis, that includes an update to ixgbevf to 3.2.2-k, which I'm testing in preparation for merging into linux-aws.  your feedback on that exact build would be most appreciated
[17:47] <rellis> i will definitely do that
[19:11] <rellis> kamal: So strange, after I add your ppa apt search linux-aws shows the new 1006 rev of all the dependant packages but not the linux-aws meta package itself
[19:12] <kamal> rellis, oh, I should have warned you (sorry!) ... there is no 1006 meta package (yet), so you have to install the linux-image-xxxxx.deb specifically
[19:12] <rellis> ahhh i see
[19:12] <rellis> thanks!
[19:13] <kamal> rellis, try "sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.4.0-1006-aws"
[19:13] <rellis> well im doing this from chef, but i will attempt give or take the same thing
[19:14] <kamal> rellis, y'know what?  I'll just construct and upload a 1006 meta pkg to that PPA.
[19:14] <rellis> that's very nice of you :)
[19:19] <kamal> rellis, ok, that's building now, in my test-linux-aws PPA -- should be available within the hour, maybe much sooner
[19:19] <rellis> cool, thanks much!
[19:20] <kamal> rellis, sure, and thanks in advance for your feedback
[19:23] <rellis> well that build was nice and fast
[19:24] <kamal> rellis, yup, I guess "much sooner" was right
[19:26] <rellis> indeed
[19:26] <kamal> rellis, and it looks like it works properly ... let me know if you have any more trouble with it.
[19:27] <rellis> i will, im installing it now
