| juergh | bastiaan, why are you running completely unsupported kernels and not an official one? | 08:12 |
|---|---|---|
| klebers | nibbon_, it's linux-headers-generic-hwe-YY.MM. If you install the hwe kernel via linux-generic-hwe-YY.MM you'll always get the updated headers as well | 08:22 |
| nibbon_ | klebers: I haven't seen linux-headers-generic-hwe-YY.MM as dependency of linux-generic-hwe-YY.MM; besides, I installed the latter but it didn't pull the headers | 08:26 |
| klebers | nibbon_, what's the exact package name and version you have installed? | 08:27 |
| nibbon_ | ii linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04 6.5.0.21.21~22.04.11 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image | 08:27 |
| nibbon_ | ah, you said linux-generic-hwe-YY.MM though | 08:28 |
| klebers | right, the 'image' meta package will only pull the required packages to boot, like the image, extra modules and firmware | 08:29 |
| klebers | the 'linux-generic*' will install the headers as well | 08:30 |
| nibbon_ | okay | 08:31 |
| nibbon_ | is there a meta package for non hwe image and headers? | 08:32 |
| klebers | for non-hwe is the 'linux-generic', which installs 'linux-image-generic' and 'linux-headers-generic' | 08:36 |
| nibbon_ | klebers: gotcha, thanks! | 08:40 |
| klebers | yw! | 08:41 |
| bastiaan | juergh: because the official ones where less stable than the 6.1 mainline kernel (when I tried somewhere mid 2023) | 10:35 |
| bastiaan | juergh: tbh, I don't understand why I get a 6.2 hwe kernel by Ubuntu which is long EOL upstream | 10:35 |
| bastiaan | and I don't expect support on the ubuntu mainline kernels, but I expect they are not build for nothing, so if I find an issue while running them, it could be useful to share :) | 10:39 |
| bastiaan | I see 6.5 hwe is available now. I will try that one soon :) | 10:47 |
| bastiaan | so.. I have 6.6.17 mainline running in kubuntu 22.04 in libvirt/qemu/kvm .. lets see when it crashes :) | 15:28 |
| arraybolt3 | OK, this is breaking my brain. Why do we have both linux-headers-6.2.0-35-generic and linux-hwe-6.2-headers-6.2.0-35? | 20:17 |
| arraybolt3 | I'm working on a thing that has to find and uninstall certain kernel packages and I thought that there were only five packages that went to each kernel - linux-image, linux-headers, linux-modules, (optionally) linux-modules-extra, and (optionally) linux-tools. This addition confuses me somewhat. | 20:18 |
| juergh | arraybolt3, linux-headers-6.2.0-35-generic is/was the mantic kernel headers and linux-hwe-6.2-headers-6.2.0-35 is the hwe kernel headers for jammy. same kernel but different series. | 20:30 |
| juergh | and there's a lot more than just 5 packages: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux | 20:31 |
| arraybolt3 | juergh: Good to know, thank you! | 21:32 |
