guivercWhat is the current 20.04/focal kernel?  isn't it still 5.4  (my focal system sees only that.. but I'm seeing numerous support queries (askubu) on 5.8, Marius (9to5) says 5.8 for 20.04 (I think in error)...01:08
* guiverc Marius Nestor; 9to5 Linux recent article01:09
sarnoldguiverc: a 5.4 kernel is the main kernel, there's also a 5.8 hwe kernel https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.801:17
guiverci realize it's available... it was main (default) kernel i was interested in..  Thank you sarnold !01:18
guiverc(a bit early for 20.04.2 & 5.8 kernel)01:19
sarnoldguiverc: when 20.04.2 is released, desktops will default to the hwe kernel, I don't recall what the .1 release did, but it was probably the main kernel01:19
sarnoldexactly :)01:19
Bashing-omguiverc: "sysop@2004x-c:~$ uname -r >> 5.4.0-59-generic" .01:19

guivercI'm still seeing focal users reporting 5.8.0-39 kernels (groovy); none give their mirrors so I wonder if a mirror has stuffed an a change to their script?03:58

guiverclooks like ubot5 needs update so it knows focal, groovy, hirsute04:07
Bashing-omguiverc: I take it more that there is no hwe kewrnel yet for focal ?04:08
guivercyeah maybe that's it... it'll get groovy/5.8 at 20.04.204:09

guivercMaik, fyi: I"ve read a few questions on askubu today about 5.8 coming out in daily (normal) upgrades on 20.04/focal.  I wonder if a mirror has done something weird... I can't find flaw09:12
Maikguiverc: weird stuff going on then. Someone still having a hangover messing up the mirrors? :-D09:16

oerheksit must be HWE, as i did not recieve 5.8 today17:46
lotuspsychjeguiverc mentioned kernel issues this morning17:47
lotuspsychjebut not sure yet whats it about17:47
lotuspsychjei recently installed HWE edge on a box to fix a 5.4 bug, that gave me 5.817:48
daftykinsno focal servers are seeing anything 5.8 for me, so i smell user fault17:51
Maikdaftykins: multiple users reported about 5.8 coming in with regular updates on askubuntu as guiverc mentioned earlier today17:53
Maiki also pointed out that i didn't get the 5.8 kernel and am on 5.417:54
Maikstill they say they got 5.817:54
daftykinsyes i gather that much17:54
Maiknot sure what's happening17:55
Maikcould it be backports?17:55
lotuspsychjei checked the recent kernels bugs, but didnt find anything17:56
daftykinsa package they have would have to explicitly be pulling in the HWE kernel17:56
daftykinsor they would have had to have instructed their system to install it, mistakenly17:56
jeremy31I saw the 5.8 get installed on a fresh 20.04 install yesterday18:33
lotuspsychjeaha18:33
jeremy31I haven't looked to see why18:34
oerheksah, fresh installs could explain it18:55
oerheksi did upgrade18:55
oerhekssame with 18.0.1 new installs..18:55
daftykinsjeremy31: via which media?19:19
daftykinsso could be ubiquity's little auto kernel updater to blame perhaps?19:19
jeremy31daftykins:  it was an old ISO on USB, not even a point release21:53
