[11:33] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
 howdy
 @acheronuk, rik : do u have ETA when the builder will resume building the package?
 @myfenris, Nope
 :(
 When I know, I will post in here
 Okay thanks a lot
 I'm not fully in 5.11.5 :(
 @myfenris, The staging ppa has the missing bits
 Yups
 and staging ppa versions are always ~ubuntux.xx~ppax, so will get replaced by main archive builds when they finally come
[19:06] <wxl> Meltdown/Spectre-fixed stable kernels now out https://lwn.net/Articles/743246
[19:08] <mamarley> wxl: It looks like a patched kernel is now in bionic-proposed too.
[19:08] <mamarley> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/4.14.0-14.17
[19:09] <wxl> nice
[19:09] <wxl> hopefully this means Launchpad is up and running again
[19:09] <wxl> (soon)
[19:10] <mamarley> I imagine the builders are probably running no later than Xenial, so it will still be a bit, I think.
[19:10] <mamarley> But I too am ready for the build farm to work again.  I probably have 40-50 builds queued right now.
[19:10] <mamarley> (Not that many packages, but just considering all the architectures.)
[19:13] <mamarley> Even once they do start back up, it will probably take days to process all the backlog.
[19:14] <acheronuk> fingers crossed then :)
[19:15] <acheronuk> I've been annoying the Neon builders in the meantime
[19:15]  * acheronuk hides
[20:03] <mamarley> Look at this, there is a build of intel-microcode that has a partial fix for some of the meltdown/spectre stuff, but it is stuck on the queue because of meltdown/spectre: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/3.20171215.1/+build/14218681
[20:35] <valorie> heh
[20:35] <mamarley> I don't think it will do much though without a kernel patch that has yet to be included.
 @mamarley, They'll let it through if they haven't already.

[22:28] <acheronuk> Zesty EOL and Itel bug updates ^^^
[22:28] <acheronuk> *intel
[22:29] <wxl> itel man
[22:29] <wxl> rastafari
[22:29] <wxl> i and i
[22:29]  * acheronuk shrugs
[22:57] <mparillo> I took the news on ZZ EOL to fire up that VM one last time, and post the Plasma 5.11.5 backport news before deleting the VM.
[22:57] <valorie> how do I ensure I'm running the HWE kernel?
[22:58] <valorie> $ uname -r
[22:58] <wxl> assuming you know the version you can just uname your way to it
[22:58] <valorie> 4.13.0-21-generic
[22:58] <valorie> which....
[22:58] <mparillo> Post to Facebook that is. 
[22:58] <valorie> thanks mparillo!
[22:59] <mparillo> Maybe somebody who actually likes FB will join us.
[23:00] <valorie> I tolerate it
[23:01] <wxl> since we've started using it for advertising at work i've learned enough to convince me that i am most definitely deleting my account
[23:06] <valorie> my fam is there, and I use it to find and communicate with newly-found cousins
[23:06] <valorie> so i can't do without it
[23:29] <valorie> the ubuntu hwe page says `sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04`
[23:29] <valorie> oops
[23:29] <valorie> no, that's right -- so if I replace 16.04 > 17.10 I wonder if it will work
[23:30] <valorie> If I have it, nothing will happen
[23:33] <valorie> no packages by that name, ok
