| cascardo | locutus_: hi, there. any plans on updating bionic virtualbox and virtualbox-hwe to work with linux-hwe 5.3 ? | 12:01 |
|---|---|---|
| locutus_ | cascardo, the packages in updates already work with kernel 5.3? | 14:03 |
| locutus_ | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1847662 | 14:03 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1847662 in virtualbox (Ubuntu) "virtualbox-dkms fails to build with 18.04-hwe-edge kernel 5.3.0-12 [error: void value not ignored as it ought to be, from smp_call_function]" [High,Fix released] | 14:03 |
| cascardo | locutus_: hum, it seems that ADT fails because... | 14:47 |
| cascardo | Error! Module version 5.2.34_Ubuntu for vboxguest.ko | 14:47 |
| cascardo | is not newer than what is already found in kernel 5.3.0-24-generic (6.0.14_Ubuntu). | 14:47 |
| locutus_ | cascardo, we should fix dkms instead! | 14:51 |
| apw | cascardo, that is one of those ... we kinda expect that moments | 15:43 |
| cascardo | apw: what are you saying, should we fix dkms instead? :-) | 15:53 |
| apw | cascardo, well sort of, i am saying that test will always fail like that; it was one of teh reasons we started to look at an autohintere | 15:56 |
| zx2c4 | apw: poke? | 16:11 |
| apw | zx2c4, s'up | 16:23 |
| zx2c4 | still itching for a tree list | 16:23 |
| apw | zx2c4, ahh sorry just been burried, will try and get you something today | 16:23 |
| zx2c4 | apw: cool | 16:25 |
| zx2c4 | thnks | 16:25 |
| teratorn | on xenial does anyone have opinions or documentation on which kernel I should prefer? I can't use stock 4.4.0, because it lacks support for a particular watchdog timer hardware chip. but 4.8.0, 4.10.0 and 4.11.0 do support it. 4.13.0 and higher all exhibit a regression in the i915 driver (apparently) that causes screen corruption in X. | 18:22 |
| teratorn | this is for a kiosk application where stability is most important, and naively I would assume that the latest 4.11.0 package should be the one I prefer, but just wanted to check if anyone has any other info on xenial kernels | 18:24 |
| sarnold | teratorn: the newest 4.11 kernel provided by ubuntu hasn't been updated in two years. you probably don't want to use that. | 19:06 |
| teratorn | sarnold: interesting. how are you getting that info? | 19:16 |
| sarnold | teratorn: I've got a local archive mirror, which makes answering some of these questions way easier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mvdn3PHbcg/ | 19:18 |
| gpiccoli | teratorn, this is also a good resource: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support | 19:22 |

| cascardo | teratorn: also, we apply fixes on our kernels, so linux-hwe, which is at 4.15 on xenial, may work for you | 21:33 |
| cascardo | if the regression bug is present on that kernel, you can report a bug with the details you have about that regression | 21:34 |
| teratorn | cascardo: cool. it does happen with latest linux-image-4.15.0-73-generic | 23:33 |
