[13:01] <smb> caribou, Do you have any kdump dump of a current 4.8 kernel to compare whether crash can load that one? I am beginning to suspect that the VM dumps may have issues with RANDOMIZE_MEMORY (though there is some change in the code that looks to be adding support for that).
[13:06] <caribou> smb: that's what I tested yesterday on a Zesty VM with a 4.10 kernel ( debian/sid's crash) : it loads the vmcore produced after the panic in the VM but not the "virsh dump" one
[13:08] <smb> caribou, Ah, sorry did not grok that then. Hm, would it be possible to put that dump somewhere I can pull it from. Then I could be lazy and not produce one on my own
[13:09] <caribou> smb: sure
[13:11] <smb> Could be something that virsh and xen-utils need to add to the elf info. Which maybe is already somewhere upstream but usually simpler to find once one knows what to look for
[15:29] <jackpot51> Is it possible to get linux-firmware 1.161.1 into 16.04?
[16:03] <apw> sforshee, ^
[16:06] <sforshee> jackpot51: we can't take the package wholesale, but if there's something specific you need we can likely get it into the xenial package
[16:22] <jackpot51> Yes, the intel wireless firmware for the 8265 from the 1.161.1 package is needed in 16.04
[16:27] <sforshee> jackpot51: we had it in at one point, but it was causing regressions with some hardware configurations, see bug #1647826
[16:27] <jackpot51> It has been updated so the 8260 now works
[16:28] <sforshee> jackpot51: yeah, was just about to mention the new version
[16:28] <jackpot51> So, are we good to try the new version in 16.04?
[16:28] <sforshee> can you file a bug?
[16:29] <sforshee> dmj_s76: when you tested the new iwlwifi firmware, was that with xenial?
[16:30] <jackpot51> Sure
[16:33] <jackpot51> Is this good: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1674748 ?
[16:33] <dmj_s76> sforshee: I believe so, I copied just the -22 into /lib/firmware and wifi still worked after reboot and suspend.
[16:34] <dmj_s76> Yeah, firmware for the 8265 in xenial would be good!
[16:35] <sforshee> I'll get it taken care of
[16:35] <jackpot51> sforshee: Thanks!
