[00:24] <TJ-> We have a PTI regression killing resume-from-hibernate for 4.13-0-25 onwards. One user has confirmed "nopti" fixes the issue.  Bug #1743094
[13:01] <Tomwolf> I have a bug that has been fixed upstream. The problem is that the kernel panic happens on first boot after fresh install. It was fixed in kernel 4.13.0-31.34 and while I understand that 18.04 will use 4.15 I can't find a way to get an ubuntu installed with a working kernel. Any tips on how to go about things? I've just recently decided to actually learn how to work with linux servers so bare with me if I'm ignorant.
[13:04] <TJ-> Tomwolf: if you do the install but don't reboot at the end, you can start a terminal, chroot mount into the new rootfs, and "apt install linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04"
[13:08] <Tomwolf> Thank you =) If I want to upgrade to 17.10 or even 18.04 on the development server, will that keep the hwe?
[13:09] <TJ-> Tomwolf: Yes... hwe depends on the 4.13 kernel; later, hwe-edge will depend on 18.04's released kernel
[13:11] <Tomwolf> Thank you =) now I don't have to 'settle' for running Centos 7 when I really want to use Ubuntu.
[13:13] <Tomwolf> I appreciate the help @TJ- =)
