oh well, ....it seems to me that kernel versioning is pretty much messed up. The (test) kernel I had installed, as of #77 reports version 4.15.0-46 ( linux-unsigned, modules, modoles-extra). Software Updater reports the very same version numbers for those modules to be updated, independent from whether -proposed under the development tab in Software Updater is enabled or not !!
So either the kernel with the reverted code has not been checked in properly, or versioning is messed up or -proposed doesn't work properly ... sigh ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788997 Title: rtl8723be wifi does not work under linux-modules- extra-4.15.0-33-generic Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: === SRU Justification === [Impact] Realtek 8723be's ant_sel parameter stops working since 4.15.0-33.36. [Fix] The commit that causes the regression works in mainline, so there are some functional dependencies are not in 4.15. Finding those dependencies can be hard since I don't have the hardware to test with, also pulling new commits may cause new regression. So the safest way to deal with this bug is to simply revert the regression commit. [Test] User confirmed reverting the commit can fix the issue. [Regression Potential] Low. Realtek 8723be works without this commit. === Original Bug Report === When starting Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on a laptop HP 1S-af023ng with kernel 4.15.0-32.35 amd64, wifi via rtl8723be works OK. Using actual 4.15.0-33.36 amd64 instead, rtl8723be doesn't find any wifi networks and thus there is no connection. Changing the antenna setup in /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be_options.conf doesn't help either; as a workaround an external wifi device (Gigaset USB Adapter 108) works. The expectation is that wifi through rtl8723be will still work under 4.15.0-33.36 as it did previously. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: al 1234 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: al 1234 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: XFCE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-27 (89 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Notebook Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 radeondrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-33-generic root=UUID=32ea87b7-f595-4137-a54b-55838586f720 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-33.36-generic 4.15.18 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.15.0-33-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.15.0-33-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.173.1 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-33-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 04/01/2015 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde dmi.bios.version: F.02 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 8137 dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 99.02 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Chassis Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.02:bd04/01/2015:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPNotebook:pvrType1ProductConfigId:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn8137:rvr99.02:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.family: 103C_5335KV G=N L=CON B=HP dmi.product.name: HP Notebook dmi.product.version: Type1ProductConfigId dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1788997/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
