Linux-current 6.0

ReillyBrogan

It's here. Update and you'll have it.

Known Issues:

LUKS FDE doesn't show password prompt on boot. Currently working on fixing this one, but for now you can blind enter your password and hit enter and it should work. The display is off but the password prompt is still loaded in the background waiting for your password and once the root filesystem is mounted the Nvidia driver is able to be loaded. You can also switch back to linux-lts for now. Please follow this issue as we work through this issue: https://dev.getsol.us/T10446 This is resolved now, update again if you experienced this.
Mouse receiver issues. Some users are experiencing that certain Logitech mice are not connecting after reboots until the receiver is unplugged and plugged back in.
HWMon re-ordering. It appears that the order of hwmon entries has changed, this may break scripts that depend on a specific device being in a specific place.

If you have any issues with it please comment on this post and we'll try our best to help you.

As a reminder LTS was updated to 5.15 last sync. I'm currently expecting to update Systemd to v251 in the late-December to mid-January time window depending on my availability and the availability of the rest of the team for proper testing. Systemd v251 HARD REQUIRES a kernel newer than 4.14 so if you're still booting into that version please be aware at some point that your system won't boot successfully after the systemd update. It's in your best interest to reply on the 5.15 LTS thread with any issues keeping you on 4.14 so that we can fix them and help you update to 5.15 (or even 6.0).

I updated my two machines, and both of them booted with no issues, kernel 6.0.9. Thank you.

Broadcom WiFi Driver problem - On my 2009 MacBook Pro with Broadcom BCM4321, I'm unable to get wifi working after the update.
Using the Hardware Drivers, it shows the "Broadcom IE802.11 a/b/g/n hybrid Linux device driver" is installed.
Tried "sudo depmod -a" and rebooted; no change. Removed, rebooted, and reinstalled the driver - no change.
"sudo modprobe wl" gives me "insmod: ERROR: could not load module /lib/modules/6.0.9-222.current/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko: No such file or directory."
Quick online search for Broadcom Wifi Driver Linux 6.0 finds a similar issue in the Manjaro forums - they state the Broadcom-wl driver wasn't yet compiled for 6.0 kernel (see https://forum.manjaro.org/t/broadcom-wifi-driver-missing-after-kernel-6-0-update/124239/3). Is this the same problem in Solus?
Currently using an external wifi adapter; everything else seems fine. Updates went well on other computers - no Broadcom Wifi adapters on the other computers.
Thank you for any help!

tonyk Do you have broadcom-sta-current installed? And if you do please run sudo eopkg info broadcom-sta-current and reply with the output. It should have been updated at the same time as the linux-current update.

ReillyBrogan - Yes, it shows broadcom-sta-current is installed.

atriaze Any errors in your dmesg?

Solarmass

Smooth update, no problems to report!

Cloak

Impressively smooth however will the ISO kernel be modernized any time soon?

Cloak Phab suggests Q1 2023 if I read correctly

Hi, good work. At first good. Thank you very much. Kind regards.

tonyk Hmm that is the right version. Can I see ls /lib/modules/6.0.9-222.current/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ ? Also eopkg info kmod

I am having the same issue as https://dev.getsol.us/T9962 with 6.0.9. At least, does not show luks prompt, did not investigate much further yet. Still boots with the old kernel.

I think I have a similar issue. After upgrading (to Linux-current 6.0) FDE prompt is not showing -- no boot is happening. I tried the following:

https://getsol.us/articles/troubleshooting/boot-rescue/en/ -- no broken packages
Install on a spare SSD -- after upgrade same issue
Upgrade went well on a Thinkpad laptop (with FDE) and a NUC (no FDE)
Tried to boot the workstation with the NUC SSD -> worked well
Tried to downgrade via sudo eopkg history -t #before upgrade to Linux-current 6.0 -- did not work

The issue seems to be with FDE (luks/cryptsetup)

Host: Z170XP-SLI
CPU: Intel i7-7700K (8) @ 4.500GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

tonyk What does sudo modinfo wl say?

djanben

ReillyBrogan just wanted to confirm that the luks passphrase screen is showing again.
My graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER and benefits from the driver updates.

tonyk also my wifi is working again with kernel 6.0.10 (it stopped working with kernel 6.0.9).
As far as I can tell from dmesg output, my wifi hardware is rtw_8822ce - probably different from yours.

Thanks a bunch for this intermediate update!

darkness

The required module is no longer included in kernel 6.0.9:

sudo zcat /proc/config.gz | grep _FB_SIMPLE
# CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is n

I am still using the Nvidia driver:

nvidia-470-glx-driver-modaliases            - These files are used by the Software Center for hardware detection

nvidia-glx-driver-modaliases                - These files are used by the Software Center for hardware detection

Let me know if I should raise a ticket at the development tracker.

darkness

siru yes, possibly related to type of graphics driver. Previously @JoshStrobl fixed it.

MintSpider

Thank you.
Updated today to 6.0.9 on a System76 Thelio and all is working well.
