| alkisg | Hi, I'm seeing a lot of instability with the -hwe kernel in 16.04, and I'm pondering downgrading all the schools here to 4.4 instead. | 17:33 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | Question, will I see severely degraded graphics performance, e.g. on haswell intels? I'm planning to keep the xorg-hwe stack... Or, anything else to worry about while downgrading to 4.4? | 17:33 |
| alkisg | (of course I reported all the bugs that I see, both to launchpad and upstream, etc etc) | 17:34 |
| tjaalton | no | 17:45 |
| alkisg | Thank you tjaalton :) | 17:56 |
| tjaalton | what kind of instability? | 18:09 |
| alkisg | Immediate reboots, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198529, vbox crashes the HOST, page faults on stress... | 18:14 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.kernel.org bug 198529 in x86-64 "Reboot on kernel load due to 92a0f81d" [High,New] | 18:14 |
| tjaalton | due to meltdown? | 18:17 |
| alkisg | Maybe; that one in bugzilla came right before meltdown | 18:19 |
| tjaalton | it's part of the meltdown fix commits | 18:23 |
| alkisg | It's one of the "preparation" commits, yeah | 18:26 |
| alkisg | Maybe it'll settle down in a few months, but having the whole school not boot is a big deal for them... | 18:27 |
| alkisg | And unfortunately "press shift for grub to appear, then boot with the previous kernel" isn't something that comes to everyone's mind... | 18:27 |
