| AKX | Good Day! Does anyone know what is happening with the Mainline Kernel PPA (https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) ...? | 20:14 |
|---|---|---|
| AKX | I am suddenly getting an HTTP 404/Not Found error... | 20:15 |

| JanC | AKX: seems like it's not only the PPA but everything on that domain (like the git repositories) | 22:09 |
| xnox | AKX: JanC: note that git repositories there have not been used for over a decade already; and they are mirrors from launchpad; and the primary repos we push to are all in launchpad. | 22:14 |
| xnox | where the ~kernel-ppa home dir went i'm not sure, but will poke people. | 22:14 |
| xnox | apw: ^^^ | 22:14 |
| JanC | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ still refers there for the git repository | 22:16 |
| JanC | and probably many other places... :-/ | 22:16 |
| JanC | it might be useful to put a redirect or some info page in those locations if they are no longer used | 22:17 |
| JanC | I suppose git is here now: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/ | 22:20 |
| jeremy31 | Why not use the Ubuntu mainline kernels? | 22:22 |
| JanC | if you scroll back a bit their disappearance is what triggered this :) | 22:22 |
| jeremy31 | I thought mainline was somewhere else, whoops | 22:25 |
| xnox | JanC: yes, and in addition to that we also now have https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu-kernel-next which are snapshots of upstream tagged release for each major series; with all ubuntu patches applied and integrated & known to pass build, boot, regression testing. Cause mainline builds do not have many features that are applied in the ubuntu kernels (more hardening, secureboot tightening, | 22:32 |
| xnox | not-yet mainlined apparmor features, etc) | 22:32 |
| AKX | Hello Everyone! Well, the Mainline PPA was active until just a week or two ago. I downloaded and installed 6.1.55 ( 6.1.xyz is a kernel.org LTS Kernel - LTS refers to Kernel.org, NOT Ubuntu ) from debs at the Mainline PPA... | 23:08 |
| AKX | The upstream Kernel.org LTS kernel is now 6.1.57,,, | 23:09 |
| AKX | I have been using Mainline 6.1.xyz LTS on Ubuntu JJ 22.04 LTS, and it has been incredibly stable. The Hardware support has been excellent. | 23:11 |
| jeremy31 | AKX: 22.04 has 6.2 available | 23:11 |
| AKX | Yes, but I want to stay on a ( somewhat more modern, but not bleeding-edge ) Kernel.org-listed Long-Term kernel. 6.1.xyz has been designated as the current LTK. 6.2 thru 6.5 are not LTKs. 6.6 may be the next, but I am not sure... There's still a lot of work going on to support Containers more efficiently and securely. | 23:15 |
| AKX | I propose that going forward, Canonical should make LTKs (Long-Term Kernels) available via the HWE Repository... | 23:18 |
| jeremy31 | Didn't the 5.15 kernel support your hardware? | 23:18 |
| AKX | Yes. But 6.1.xyz with Mesa at this PPA: ( https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/kisak/kisak-mesa/ubuntu jammy main ) solved **A LOT** of Intel graphics issues. | 23:21 |
| jeremy31 | What Intel graphics? | 23:22 |
| AKX | I no longer have Page Flashing/Tearing in Firefox, etc. And this is on an old i5 Gen 4 with legacy Intel HD Graphics, which has already been well-supported for many years. | 23:23 |
| AKX | It seems there were some regressions in the 5.15.xyz Kernel versions that shipped with 22.04... | 23:25 |
| AKX | On a lark, I tried the Mainline 6.2, 6.5, and 6.1 series. After some testing, I settled on Mainline 6.1 Long-Term Kernel. | 23:26 |
| AKX | Been very happy with it. | 23:26 |
| AKX | Of course, I need to check manually for new builds of the latest release in that series, but as a whole, I have not really had any issues since I moved to 6.1. | 23:27 |
| jeremy31 | Gen 4 is what. 9 years ago? | 23:29 |
| AKX | Give-or-take... I am using a well-refurbished Lenovo T440s, running an i5-4400. Very clean, all hardware working, little keyboard wear, HDD replaced with 1TB Samsung PRO SSD. | 23:32 |
| AKX | It's my "daily driver." Everything works, and works much better on 6.1.x than 5.15.x... I think the Scheduling in 6.1.x has been optimized quite a bit compared to 5.15.x. Everything is a lot "snappier" and I am not running into much lag in Firefox, etc. anymore. | 23:34 |
| AKX | CPU utilization viewing YouTube 1080p30 / 1080p60 hovers around 15% CPU in 6.1.x. In 5.15.x, it was closer to 40%. | 23:36 |
