Check if the issues from 5.18.8 are fixed first before continuing with remaining kernel QA
I performed a clean install of Pop 22.04, and upgraded to the 5.18.10 kernel, and set the graphics to Nvidia mode. The galp5-1650Ti was able to suspend multiple times with fwts s3 --s3-multiple 10
. The system has just completed the kernel checklist on Pop 22.04.
I am now working on Ubuntu 22.04, and will upload the checklists then.
Pop 22.04:
Will test Ubuntu Monday
22.04 darp6 - all tests passed darp6-22.04-kernel-testing.txt
22.04 gaze15 - all tests passed except for VirtualBox gaze15-22.04-kernel-testing.txt
22.04 lemp11 - all tests passed except for 150 suspend/resume 22.04-lemp11-150-suspend-resume.log lemp11-22.04-kernel-testing.txt
Note: VirtualBox installs on all machines, but on gaze15 if the guest OS uses GNOME e.g., (Pop, Ubuntu, Manjaro-GNOME, Fedora) gnome-shell restarts repeatedly and Firefox crashes. I assumed this was due to the NVIDIA driver version, but it happens with all driver versions and without an NVIDIA driver installed. It also happens on the Framwork Laptop with integrated graphics. The addition or removal of VirtualBox Extension Pack as well as VBoxGuestAddtitions seems to have no impact. Ubuntu 22.04 does not have this issue with a guest OS untill system76-driver is installed. Guests with KDE and Xfce do not have this issue.
Update:
New version 6.1.34
of VirtualBox has not resolved these issues on both intel and nvidia graphics machines.

Pop 22.04 was able to pass testing on the galp5-1650Ti.
However, on Ubuntu 22.04, I have not been able to get Steam to launch with Nvidia 515 or 510 (470 was working fine). After attempting to launch Steam, I consistently find a stack dump in dmesg
starting with kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c:155!

I have tested launching Steam on a clean install of Ubuntu 22.04 with 5.18.10 once more on the galp5-1650Ti, but with the 515.57 release of the Nvidia driver.
I am still unable to launch Steam, and I see the same dump in dmesg
as before.
[ 273.378981] kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c:155!
Oof
I believe these were fixed in pop with the gnome-shell patch https://github.com/pop-os/gnome-shell/blob/master_jammy/debian/patches/ignore-nvidia-only.patch
which we discussed yesterday.
@linuxgnuru so is that an approval? Or what are we missing?
@linuxgnuru so is that an approval? Or what are we missing?
I believe @gangwerz was working on Ubuntu without our system76-driver installed
After a suggestion from @linuxgnuru, I retested Ubuntu with the currently available software, and I am able to reproduce the issues I cited with a stock Ubuntu install, and no System76 software installed. I do not believe the issues I saw with Steam are regressions, so they should not block the approval of this kernel.
@gangwerz is that an approval?

It's an approval from me! if the concerns @n3m0-22 (or anyone else) had were addressed as well, I can approve
I'm still seeing issues with VirtualBox. This is an example from a fresh install on a gaze15
of Pop 22.04
for the host and Pop 22.04
as the guest.
The only changes made are:
Enable EFI
4 GB RAM
4 Cores
It can take a while, but Firefox will eventually crash and GNOME keeps restarting. This happens with or without open-vm-tools-desktop
or Guest Additions
as well as with and without virtualbox-ext-pack
. This will happen before and after updating the host and guest. Adding master
had no effect. I am seeing this in all graphics modes and with different NVIDIA drivers installed. This is happening on the gaze15
, darp6
, orpy4
, and Framework.
Update: After further testing it has been determined this is not a regression caused by the 5.18.10 kernel. This PR is good to go on my end.
hi i would to beta-test linux 5.18.10 on pop. where can i read up?
@dmgiangi Thanks for your interest! However, we did just complete testing on this update and it should be merged and released soon.
In the future, if you'd like to test PRs before they're released, you can do so with the apt script in the pop-os/pop repo.
To use it, first clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/pop-os/pop
Then make sure the name of the branch you're looking to test is available (we'll use this branch, linux-5.18.10
as an example):
cd pop
./scripts/apt remote
If you saw the branch name in that output (grep
ing through it might help), then add it and install updates:
./scripts/apt add linux-5.18.10
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Then reboot or restart whatever piece of software you're trying to test.
The apt script also can be used to remove testing sources:
./scripts/apt remove linux-5.18.10
Thanks for your interest! However, we did just complete testing on this update and it should be merged and released soon.
Is there a chance that this patch https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/165 will also be included?
@RafalSkolasinski Not in this one, but that's probably a patch that doesn't need to be in a version upgrade.
@leviport I thank you. I have one last question. if I don't remove the code I'm testing with
./scripts/apt remove [branch]
is it still replaced by subsequent updates?
@dmgiangi it will not be replaced. If this branch doesn't exist, but the source is still on your machine, installing updates will just show you a 404 error and not be able to update. It can be removed afterwards though, and if the currently released version is the same as the version from that branch, nothing will be updated or downgraded.
Same checklist from https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/157#issue-1276156783 applies here, but all of those should be done.
