| frickler | klebers: do you have some more reference regarding the issue found with 4.15? I have some recently installed xenial machines running with it and would like to assess whether it would be better to downgrade | 13:44 |
|---|---|---|
| klebers | frickler, we are not sure exactly when we are going to -updates the fix for the random number generator, probably during the next couple of weeks. In the meantime you can either downgrade it or install the kernel from -proposed (which is not guaranteed yet to be completely stable) | 13:48 |
| frickler | klebers: is there a bug tracking "fix for the random number generator"? | 13:49 |
| klebers | frickler, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779827 | 13:51 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1779827 in linux (Ubuntu) "failure to boot with linux-image-4.15.0-24-generic" [Critical,In progress] | 13:51 |
| frickler | klebers: great, thanks. so iiuc once the machine has haveged running, there should be no further issue | 13:54 |
| klebers | frickler, sure! yeah, it seems it works around the issue for most users | 13:57 |
| frickler | klebers: o.k., I was just worried that there might be some security related issue when running with that kernel. so I guess in my case just keeping the servers running until there is a newer version in -updates seems fine | 14:00 |
| bluj | hello. i'm rebuilding a ubuntu kernel via instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel . one of the things it mentions to do is to change the version string in debian.master/changelog so i can tell i'm running the intended kernel etc. this is not taking effect though- my resultant .deb's just have the version without my appended string. anyone know why? | 14:25 |
