| xnox | fling: can you please ellaborate more? | 10:02 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | fling: our unstable kernel packaging is in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/unstable but i'm not sure if you will find the things you need/want there. | 10:03 |
| ogra | xnox, do you know the frequency for linux-firmware updates ? there is a user in #ubuntu who has issues with i915, seems the new blobs are on kernel.org (skl_guc_49.0.1.bin) but not in any linux-firmwar package yet ... | 10:08 |
| xnox | ogra: it's not automatic / periodic but mostly enablement driven. one should open a bug report against linux-firmware to be looked at. | 10:09 |
| xnox | there is a small bump in progress (with reverts) being tested in focal-proposed at the moment | 10:10 |
| ogra | xnox, yeah, i asked for a bug report ... | 10:10 |
| ogra | i thought we had some automatic process in place (its just blobs after all) | 10:11 |
| xnox | ogra: blobs that do regress a lot often causing corrupted screens & loss of internets. so no, linux-firmware updates are never automatic for stable series and go through SRU process more or less like everything else. | 10:24 |
| ogra | oh, wow ... | 10:24 |
| ogra | (i didnt know their content actually gets updated, i thought there are just new ones coming down the drain every now and then) | 10:25 |
| ogra | ... that indeed makes sense then | 10:25 |
| xnox | ogra: there are conflicting firmware blobs with identical name, but different content that works on some boards and not others. and vendor unable to consolidate them. | 10:53 |
| ogra | woah, gross ! | 10:53 |
| xnox | ogra: hence raspi linux-firmware package overrides and diverts blobs from the main linux-firmware package | 10:53 |
