| apw | enyc, it seems the adt tests for those packages are insufficient (likely because they have local tests which do not test the dkms package) and thus they were tested and passed before release; whilst actually being broken | 20:23 |
|---|---|---|
| enyc | apw: ok that figures, this will need sorting out, but also, will need to sort-out, how to properly auto-warn users who have k5.8 before 22.04 / 20.04.3 kernel comes out, and breaks their krenel modules/drivers/etc | 20:24 |
| enyc | nvidia-340 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910709 seems important.... | 20:25 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1910709 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 (Ubuntu Focal) "DKMS linux-headers-5.8.0-34-generic update brokes nvidia-340 " [Undecided,Confirmed] | 20:25 |
| apw | enyc, of course it is entirely possible that you just don't need brcmwl, and it should become a noop | 20:25 |
| enyc | apw: maybe so for some, too... bcmwl-kernel-source should be a simple fix.... looks similar for nvidia-340 | 20:26 |
| enyc | aiui ndiswrapper not 5.8-compatible either but also rather deprecated, rare use | 20:26 |
| apw | enyc, i'd be supprised if nvidia-340 is even supported any more, i thought it was transitional to nvidia-450 | 20:26 |
| apw | enyc, i think ndiswrapper becomes non-compiling for things abouve 5.4 iirc | 20:27 |
| enyc | apw: nvidia-340 still there | 20:27 |
| enyc | likely needed for some older cards | 20:27 |
| apw | enyc, i _thought_ 390 was the approved legacy card dumping ground by nvidia | 20:28 |
| apw | but ... i am not the expert on this for sure, /me will poke them | 20:28 |
| enyc | apw: not in ubuntu .. -331 transitional to -340 . ... -390 seems to be next up actual version in focal | 20:30 |
| apw | 460 will be the primary supported stream as i understand the world for new cards, "soon", and 390 for legacy, i don't think i (personally) knew there was anything older | 20:31 |
| jeremy31 | mdiswrapper isn't even an issue as it needs Win XP drivers | 21:40 |
