[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1787391] Re: Upgrade from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS breaks sound due to missing package dependencies
[Expired for linux (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.] ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Expired -- 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/1787391 Title: Upgrade from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS breaks sound due to missing package dependencies Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I upgraded one of my desktops from Xubuntu 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS. This broke alsa/pulseaudio, because the upgrade failed to install the linux-modules-extra-* package. Before the upgrade, sound worked fine, after the upgrade pulseaudio only showed the infamous "Dummy device". Installing, in my case, linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-30-generic and rebooting fixed the problem. While i, generally, understand that you might want to minimize the amount of kernel modules (which is why this is an extra package, i presume), when the system has alsa and pulseaudio installed, it makes sense to also install the relevant kernel drivers. If you don't want to install the "extra" modules in all cases, please make alsa and/or pulseaudio depend on them. Not doing so breaks sound on a lot of devices, because the "extra" module also includes the driver for many Intel onboard sound devices.

You may need to run the following from a terminal: sudo apt-get install -f sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update Then re-install the package or updates. If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed" ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- 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/1787391 Title: Upgrade from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS breaks sound due to missing package dependencies Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I upgraded one of my desktops from Xubuntu 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS.
