[12:23] <cascardo> jjohansen: any news about that apparmor compat fix?
[13:07] <jjohansen> cascardo: its a wip, it builds but I am chasing a bug
[13:08] <jjohansen> hopefully it will be done today
[13:15] <cascardo> jjohansen: thanks!
[16:23] <dijuremo> I am not quite sure this is specifically a kernel, issue, but I am going to ask here. I have two machines, Alienware 17 R5 and XPS 15 9570. These both come with Nvidia Video cards. If we install them using LUKS on EFI with full drive encryption, the machines start up, show the dark background ubuntu screen and lock up. Sometimes they will show the field to enter the LUKS key, but no input would be taken from the keyboard. So far, the only 
[16:27] <dijuremo> Furthermore, in the XPS 15 9570, I have been completely unable to make the GUI login work, with the nvidia driver installed. I tried many suggestions I found around, but none work. If I remove the nvidia driver and only use the intel, then I can log in via the GUI just fine. Suggestions included using kernel options like nomodeset, acpi_osi=! acpi_osi='Windows 2012" and many other things. The nvidia driver will never find the card itself, 
[16:28] <dijuremo> What IRC channel do you recommend I take the XPS 15 9570 discussion to?
[16:29] <apw> tseliot, ^ dunno if you have heard anything about nvidia for that machine ?
[16:30] <apw> on the luks key, does hitting escape do anything; to flip to text and hit it again to come back
[16:33] <dijuremo> apw: Let me try that the "ESC" key....
[16:35] <tseliot> dijuremo, apw: I haven't really tested LUKS, but the nvidia modules should be available in the initrd. It's hard to tell what's going on without seeing some logs
[16:38] <tseliot> dijuremo: for example, seeing these files might help: /var/log/gpu-manager.log, dmesg output, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
[16:39] <dijuremo> Even without the nvidia driver, I see the problems with LUKS on both the Alienware 17 R5 and DELL XPS 15. This is an image of it. I am unable to type anything and ESC does *not* take me to a text login: https://imgur.com/a/BXa51vJ
[16:41] <dijuremo> tseliot: Do we want those logs on the XPS 15, where the nvidia driver does not work at all to look at the Ubuntu GUI problems, or do we want to look at this on the Alienware, where I am using text mode to eneter the LUKS passphrase and where we are using the Nvidia driver succesfully for GUI logins?
[16:45] <tseliot> dijuremo: I only maintain the nvidia driver, so I can probably help with that. It would be best if you filed a bug report (against nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 for now), and attached those files. Then we can try to diagnose the problem.
[16:45] <tseliot> also, it's EOD for me
[16:49] <dijuremo> tseliot: no worries, I will either open or mention existing bug requests, though some point to 18.04, and I am using 16.04
[16:50] <tseliot> dijuremo: if you are on 16.04, then maybe the nvidia driver is simply too old for the XPS15
[16:51] <dijuremo> I've tried all of them, including graphics-drivers/ppa, they seem to behave similarly, 384, 390 and 396
[16:51] <dijuremo> This laptop has the GTX 1050 Ti, which has been supported for a while...
[19:22] <mozmck> I just built 4.16.15 mainline using the ubuntu stuff and there is a linux-modules package which I haven't seen before.  Did I do something wrong?
[19:23] <mozmck> Looks like it split the modules out of the linux-image package into another package?
[20:05] <apw> mozmck, yes we did that
[20:11] <mozmck> Ok, thanks!
[20:50] <mozmck> Ok, trying to compile 4.16.15 on 18.04 and I'm getting this: ./include/linux/kernel.h:6:10: fatal error: stdarg.h: No such file or directory.
[20:52] <mozmck> I compiled this same source on 16.04, then I did a debian/rules clean, zipped up the source, copied to an 18.04 VM, ran debian/rules clean again, and debian/rules binary-indep
[20:52] <mozmck> Could it be that I'm missing a dependency?  I thought I had everything but had to install flex, bison, and kernel-wedge to get this far.
