bluesceadaluis220413, thanks ... I thought that these "hwe" kernels were meant to be somewhat up-to-date ...11:28
bluesceadaI think this fix is really necessary for a couple of AMD graphics users, so maybe I should open a ubuntu bug separately that this fix should be backported to the ubuntu kernel?11:29
bluesceadaor try to get mainline kernel maintainers to get it in the next 5.15 maintenance release11:30
luis220413bluesceada: You should open both a bug in the Ubuntu kernel you are using (with the command ubuntu-bug linux) and a bug in the upstream kernel and link the Ubuntu bug to the upstream bug.12:05
luis220413To file bugs in the upstream kernel: https://bugzilla.kernel.org12:05
bluesceadaI think the bug is fixed, following that freedesktop bug12:05
bluesceadaNeed to just find the upstream kernel bug, I guess12:05
luis220413Please run the command uname -srvmpio and paste the output here12:06
luis220413There is no need for paste services, the output is just 1 line long12:06
bluesceadaLinux 5.15.0-47-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 11 07:51:15 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux12:07
bluesceadaAccording to the freedesktop bug, just running a 5.17 kernel might fix it ... maybe I should just do that for testing purpose.12:08
bluesceadaimho, the AMD maintainer's job would be to make sure the respective patches get into the 5.15 vanilla kernel12:09
luis220413bluesceada: Is the bug harming your system right now?12:11
bluesceadaYes, it's not stable12:12
bluesceadaHowever not even sure if it is exactly that bug, there was another one, but it seems they all get fixed in recent kernels, and ubuntu just has that old kernel12:14
luis220413I am looking at the kernels in Ubuntu 22.04 and Kinetic (the current development release, also mentioned as 22.10).12:15
luis220413Kinetic has some 5.19 kernels, but they be in -proposed and Kinetic is unstable.12:15
luis220413And 5.18 and 5.17 kernels as well12:15
bluesceadathat might be another issue somewhat related, and also fixed by a more recent kernel: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/181912:16
ubottuIssue 1819 in drm/amd "RX 6600 XT fails to resume from suspend in 5.15.y series" [Opened]12:16
bluesceadai also have a 6600 XT and the bug is always triggered when I set the screen to go to suspend after a while12:17
bluesceadacurrently I set it to "Never"12:17
bluesceadaJust to clarify: the screen is sufficient, not the whole system going to suspend12:17
luis220413bluesceada: I also had to do that in my Ubuntu 21.10 (now EOL) and 22.04 VMs, because they failed to resume!12:17
bluesceadaI set "Screen Blank: Never"12:18
luis220413I set "Automatically lock: Never"12:18
bluesceadaFunnily, the bug can sometimes even be triggered when shutting down the system, or when not immediately logging in after it booted12:18
bluesceadaso the system might be stuck on shutdown, once that kept the machine running for the night x.x12:19
luis220413bluesceada: You can try the 5.17 OEM kernel.12:19
luis220413sudo apt install linux-oem-5.1712:19
bluesceadaok12:19
bluesceadait only has 5.17-something12:19
bluesceadaheaders or tools12:20
bluesceadado i need some extra repo? or go with  linux-image-5.17.0-1015-oem ?12:20
luis220413Sorry, wrong command.12:20
luis220413Do you believe that a 5.17 kernel fixes your issue?12:21
luis220413sudo apt install linux-image-oem-22.0412:21
bluesceada<luis220413> Do you believe that a 5.17 kernel fixes your issue? ---> yes it might12:22
bluesceadahowever one of those bugs mention a 5.18 kernel, let's try it12:22
luis220413This command will install an Ubuntu kernel based on Linux v5.17.15.12:23
luis220413bluesceada: Only if you upgrade to the development release or find a backport from a PPA.12:23
bluesceadaok i need also the headers for virtualbox dkms, but thanks, let's see12:23
luis220413You can also monitor the 22.04 repositories with these two commands:12:23
luis220413apt list linux\*5.18\*12:24
bluesceadaThis OEM sounds strange, that's why I didn't test it yet12:24
luis220413apt list linux\*5.19\*12:24
bluesceadathanks12:24
luis220413_There is a caveat of using the OEM kernel: "However, if it is run on hardware that is not certified by Canonical, we cannot guarantee it works without issues."12:28
luis220413_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/OEMKernel#Should_I_run_it_on_my_machine.3F12:28
luis220413_These two commands monitor the repositories for 5.18 and 5.19 kernels.12:29
=== luis220413_ is now known as luis220413
luis220413Ubuntu 22.04.2 (that should be released in February 2023) will ship with the 5.19 kernel: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/08/ubuntu-22-04-point-release-available12:30
bluesceadayes I understand, but it's still maintained for security patches I hope12:30
luis220413bluesceada: It is supported according to the "Security fixes" section in the first link I posted now12:30
bluesceadais there any list of those supported OEM hardware? if those are purely Intel systems for example, I need to be more careful I guess12:30
bluesceadaluis220413, thanks. OK, let's just see, I just rebooted this kernel12:31
bluesceadaand set to blank after 10min again12:31
luis220413https://ubuntu.com/certified12:31
luis220413This is a list of hardware certified by Canonical.12:32
bluesceadaat least some AMD notebooks, ok12:32
bluesceadathanks12:32
luis220413Check that they were certified for your Ubuntu version.12:32
luis220413bluesceada: Is your specific desktop/laptop certified?12:33
luis220413If you encounter any issues with this kernel, I recommend that you file a bug with the command ubuntu-bug linux12:34
bluesceadaok12:45
bluesceada<luis220413> bluesceada: Is your specific desktop/laptop certified? ---> I don't think so. It is a custom built desktop12:45
luis220413bluesceada: Then you may encounter issues, as with any kernel on any system.12:46
bluesceadaOf course12:46
luis220413Have you filed a bug for the 5.15 kernel in Ubuntu?12:46
bluesceadaNo12:46
bluesceadaTo be it looks like it is handled upstream and it's the AMD maintainers job to get it into the 5.15 vanilla LTS kernel (kernel.org kernel)12:47
luis220413I recommend that you file a bug by rebooting into the 5.15 kernel (through "Advanced options for Ubuntu") and using ubuntu-bug linux12:47
bluesceadabut maybe he doesn't care enough12:47
luis220413This is a severe issue and I strongly recommend that you file a bug both in Ubuntu and upstream, *if those bugs do not exist*.12:48
bluesceadathey do exist12:48
luis220413Could you provide links here?12:48
bluesceadaseveral critical amdgpu bugs exist, I am pretty annoyed by AMD's graphics division recently12:48
bluesceadaI did, they are freedesktop bugs, so not sure if there are respective kernel bugs ....Wait, here in summary:12:49
bluesceada[1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1819 [2] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1871 [3] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/188712:49
ubottuIssue 1819 in drm/amd "RX 6600 XT fails to resume from suspend in 5.15.y series" [Opened]12:49
ubottuIssue 1871 in drm/amd "Random system reboot on 5.15+ and no video out until a full shutdown and start up" [Opened]12:50
ubottuIssue 1887 in drm/amd "[drm:dc_dmub_srv_wait_idle [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Error waiting for DMUB idle: status=3 log spam on 5.16.3" [Opened]12:50
luis220413Bugs in freedesktop.org GitLab are not bugs in the kernel. You should find them in the Kernel Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.kernel.org) and in the bug pages for the 5.15 kernels:12:50
bluesceadaI understand, but I might not care enough if the solution is simply to go with a more recent kernel12:51
luis220413https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux12:51
luis220413https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.1512:51
bluesceadaubuntu should just go as they did in the past and use more recent kernels for HWE - imho12:53
bluesceadaafter all, it is relatively recent hardware, so that's the main "issue"12:54
bluesceadaBut maybe manpower to maintain that is missing in Ubuntu, I understand12:54
bluesceadalet me see a while how the oem kernel peforms and then I can report a bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.1512:58
luis220413That link is for reporting bugs in the 5.15 kernel in Ubuntu *20.04* LTS.13:05
luis220413You should report the bug on the previous link.13:05
luis220413bluesceada: The 5.19 kernel should be available in the Ubuntu 22.04 repositories in October, by looking at the publishing history of the first HWE kernel for 20.04: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.8/+publishinghistory13:09
luis220413Manpower is not missing in Ubuntu to maintain the kernels. Ubuntu has a kernel release schedule: https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle13:11
bluesceadaOK I guess I was just lucky before13:12
bluesceadaluis220413, did 20.04 also start with a 5.8 kernel while the hwe kernel was also 5.8 ?13:14
luis220413A release never starts with an HWE kernel.13:15
luis220413The initial kernel for 20.04 was 5.4, according to that page.13:15
bluesceadaOK, anyway, thanks for all the information, I will just see what's going on with the OEM kernel, report a bug to get the information out, worst-case get a more recent kernel from somewhere else until october13:18
luis220413You can upgrade to the development release with do-release-upgrade -d. However, it is unstable and new features may be decided until Thursday.13:22
luis220413Once in the development release, you need to manually install the 5.18 or 5.19 (recommended) kernel.13:23
luis220413The schedule has a few errors. I reported them in https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu.com/issues/1196413:36
ubottuIssue 11964 in canonical/ubuntu.com "Wrong and missing versions in https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle" [Open]13:36
bluesceadaSorry no interest in an entire development release13:55
bluesceadaI might use the dev repo to get the kernel out of that however13:55
bluesceadaOK, screen blank/suspend seems to work with the 5.17 oem kernel15:13
bluesceadaluis220413, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.15/+bug/198741320:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1987413 in linux-hwe-5.15 (Ubuntu) "[amdgpu] Several stability bugs in pre-5.17 kernels, e.g. on AMD RX 6600 XT" [Undecided, New]20:31
bluesceadajust FYI20:31
luis220413bluesceada: You filed the bug against the wrong kernel (the 5.15 kernel in Ubuntu *20.04* LTS).20:32
bluesceadai thought I filed it for "linux" only, somehow it went into linux-hwe-5.15 20:32
luis220413Paste here the output of lsb_release -a20:32
bluesceadait is also true for that one anyway20:32
luis220413bluesceada: I will do a debdiff between linux-hwe-5.15 and linux.20:33
bluesceadai have the bug since 5.15 hwe in 20.04 anyway, and it just still persists20:33
luis220413Thanks for the information!20:34
luis220413I added a bugtask for linux (Ubuntu) because this affects the linux source package in Ubuntu 22.04 (that is, the 5.15 kernel).20:35
bluesceadathanks20:43
luis220413I corrected two major errors in the description.20:46
luis220413I have subscribed to the bug report as well.20:47
bluesceadamajor errors? which were?20:55
bluesceadaah the HWE kernel, ok hx20:55
bluesceadathx20:55
bluesceadabut you know there is a package "linux-generic-hwe-22.04"20:57
luis220413That package is a metapackage that installs the GA kernel when an HWE kernel is not available, and the HWE kernel when it is available.20:57
bluesceadaso not sure why you say there is no HWE ... okay it might be identical with 20.04 - but the package named after 22.04 exists20:57
luis220413s/available/released/20:57
luis220413bluesceada: See https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle20:58
bluesceadaI get it :D ... but from looking at the packages only, one gets the impression there is a hwe kernel20:59
bluesceadai added a kern.log of one of the crashes that I managed to get out of using sysrq21:05
luis220413You should reboot into the buggy kernel in recovery mode and run apport-collect 198741321:13
luis220413Through the option "Advanced options for Ubuntu" in the boot menu21:13
bluesceadayes when I have time for that...21:31
luis220413You have 60 days until the bug is automatically expired (closed), but you should this as soon as possible because this is a critical issue.21:36
luis220413*should do this21:36
