=== chris14_ is now known as chris14 [20:14] Good Day! Does anyone know what is happening with the Mainline Kernel PPA (https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) ...? [20:15] I am suddenly getting an HTTP 404/Not Found error... === arraybolt3 is now known as arraybolt3_tl [22:09] AKX: seems like it's not only the PPA but everything on that domain (like the git repositories) [22:14] 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] where the ~kernel-ppa home dir went i'm not sure, but will poke people. [22:14] apw: ^^^ [22:16] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ still refers there for the git repository [22:16] and probably many other places... :-/ [22:17] it might be useful to put a redirect or some info page in those locations if they are no longer used [22:20] I suppose git is here now: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/ [22:22] Why not use the Ubuntu mainline kernels? [22:22] if you scroll back a bit their disappearance is what triggered this :) [22:25] I thought mainline was somewhere else, whoops [22:32] 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] not-yet mainlined apparmor features, etc) [23:08] 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... [23:09] The upstream Kernel.org LTS kernel is now 6.1.57,,, [23:11] 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] AKX: 22.04 has 6.2 available [23:15] 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. [23:18] I propose that going forward, Canonical should make LTKs (Long-Term Kernels) available via the HWE Repository... [23:18] Didn't the 5.15 kernel support your hardware? [23:21] 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. [23:22] What Intel graphics? [23:23] 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. [23:25] It seems there were some regressions in the 5.15.xyz Kernel versions that shipped with 22.04... [23:26] 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] Been very happy with it. [23:27] 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. [23:29] Gen 4 is what. 9 years ago? [23:32] 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. [23:34] 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. [23:36] CPU utilization viewing YouTube 1080p30 / 1080p60 hovers around 15% CPU in 6.1.x. In 5.15.x, it was closer to 40%.
