[00:26] <dsmythies> The mainline build for kernel 4.17-rc3 failed also. (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.17-rc3/)
[01:24] <kees> uhm, what am I misunderstanding? I have:
[01:24] <kees> /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-15-generic
[01:24] <kees> /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-15-generic.efi.signed
[01:24] <kees> /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-20-generic
[01:24] <kees> where is /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-20-generic.efi.signed ?
[01:25] <kees> I have linux-signed-image-generic installed.
[05:13] <tjaalton> kees: the generic kernel is now signed, and there's a separate -unsigned one which isn't
[07:26] <apw> kees, right what tjaalton said, we are moving to always signed; which is what we should have done in the first place
[07:45] <apw> mamarley, hrm, thanks for the report
[08:31] <cristi> hello, I just noticed the latest kernel RC, fails to build for the kernel-ppa/mainline: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.17-rc3/BUILD.LOG
[08:39] <apw> cristi, yep, its being sorted, it'll pop out eventually
[08:40] <cristi> thanks apw 
[08:41] <apw> quite why everyone insists on running these crack builds is beyondme
[08:42] <cristi> the kernel is surprisingly stable even in rc builds, and they sometimes have interesting additions
[08:42] <cristi> in this particular case there seem to be some power saving improvements that may be significant

[08:53] <cristi> historically I've started doing this a few years back when the latest kernels gradually fixed multiple driver issues with my dual-screen setup, then later added support for suspend with OPAL disk encryption
[15:27] <kees> tjaalton, apw: thanks! yes, that's excellent. *whew*
[22:03] <dsmythies> O.K. thank you for fixing the mainline builds. However, now kernel 4.17-rc3 does not install, as it seems to depend on libssl1.1 and I have 1.0 (my test server computer is still on 16.04.4). I also can not purge or remove the partially installed kernel, because some files now seem to need a prgram called "linux-update-symlinks", which I do not have. (The files: /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-unsigned-4.17.0-041700rc3-lowlatency.postinst and /var/l
[22:06] <dsmythies> By the way, kernel 4.17-rc1 from the mainline was fine. I never tried kernel 4.17-rc2.
[22:30] <dsmythies> I also do not have linux-check-removal needed by "/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-unsigned-4.17.0-041700rc3-lowlatency.prerm". Summary: The package "linux-base (4.0ubuntu1)" for Xenial doesn't have the files you are now using. The package "linux-base (4.5ubuntu1)" for artful and bionic does have the files.
