[09:16] <acheronuk> apw or anyone: may I ask what the 'regressions' in intel microcode for bionic are that mean kernel do not depend on it yet as was planned?
[09:17] <acheronuk> specifically, would it be unwise for a user to install it anyway, or should they wait until it is forced by a kernel update?
[09:19] <apw> acheronuk, i believe there were some subset of machines which had issues with it
[09:19] <apw> acheronuk, so i believe it is sane to install it and see if your machine remains reliable
[09:20] <apw> acheronuk, though there was also new microcode over night, so that might be all better too
[09:21] <acheronuk> apw: it sounds highly unlikely, but would one of the regression perhaps be usb transfer speed? (not sure how it could be, but that is the issue this user has, and they have installed it)
[09:22] <apw> acheronuk, the kinds of issues people had was "randomly crashing"
[09:22] <apw> i have not heard of any 'everything is fine but ...'
[09:22] <apw> /
[09:22] <acheronuk> ok. thanks for the info :)

[16:19] <tyhicks> acheronuk, apw: everything should now be fine with the ubuntu kernel and intel-microcode
[16:21] <apw> tyhicks, with the microcode that released overnight ?
[16:32] <tyhicks> apw: no, from the last round of SRU kernels
[16:33] <apw> tyhicks, ack
[17:12] <tsimonq2> For Canonical livepatch, are the patches which are delivered by livepatch completely open? Can I download them somewhere? (Or is it just the exact same thing as what goes in kernel updates at the same time?)
[18:00] <JanC> I think "usb transfer speed" might be impacted by the kernel patches in some cases?
[18:21] <ben_r> tsimonq2: the source for livepatches is published at https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-livepatch/+git/xenial-livepatches
[19:12] <tsimonq2> ben_r: ACK, thanks.
