[10:55] <jmux> Hi. I tried to follow the documentation for submitting a patch for inclusion in Ubuntu Xenial kernel and feel a little bit lost.
[10:55] <jmux> I've submitted lp#1745130 and I've written a mail to kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com.
[11:30] <apw> LP: #1745130
[11:31] <apw> jmux, i have just approved your post to the list ... things patch wise are progressing slower than normal, because of meltdown/spectre causing respins all the time
[11:31] <apw> jmux, but it looks like you have done the right things in general
[11:32] <apw> jmux, if you could include the sha1 of the original fil upstream in the bug that would help application
[11:32] <apw> jmux, doh you did in the bug, so all is well
[11:59] <jmux> apw: Thanks. I'm not in a hurry. I even could patch the kernel. The HW is still in evaluation and I have more patches, which I have to send upstream first.
[11:59] <apw> jmux, ack great
[12:00] <jmux> apw: and I have to test 18.04, which will be our next rollout at the end of this year.
[18:55] <jmux> jsalisbury: Thanks for the kernel for LP: #1745130. Have to leave in a few minutes. Works as expected.
[21:13] <yetoo> How does one manually uninstall a kernel or debug its postinst script
[21:14] <yetoo> because every time I try to uninstall a kernel dpkg spits out an error
[21:15] <yetoo> You can view the error in the most recent attachments here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1744214
[21:17] <smeso> yetoo: what's the output of `file /etc/kernel/postinst.d/vboxadd` ?
[21:19] <TJ-> We've seen that issue before with /etc/kernel/postinst.d/vboxadd
[21:20] <TJ-> yetoo: is the root file-system on LVM?
[21:25] <TJ-> oh, no, it's presented as sda1 from disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB5edd919d-c9befa35-part1 which has /dev/disk/by-uuid/d15b971c-a592-4259-b4fd-b74cf3c4d03c
[21:26] <TJ-> I've seen the UUID problem when using LVM and passing ROOT=UUID=xxxx (which is an LV but vgchange -ay isn't fired)
[21:32] <TJ-> yetoo: I'd check if something is being added/removed from the initrd.img that's breaking things; look in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/{hooks,scripts} and /etc/initramfs-tools/{hooks,scripts}
