Thanks for confirming. > Should the shim-signed package have a dependency on a kernel that is new enough? For better or worse, there is no straightforward way to express such a dependency. But also, the fundamental problem here is not that shim- signed has new requirements. The fundamental problem is that you and other users have been running a kernel that has had no security updates for over 2 years and didn't know it. While it was stated at the time that these kernels would have security support for a limited time and that users who had these kernels installed would not be automatically rolled forward to the next series (as this might introduce regressions in hardware support), evidently this information was not communicated in a way that made it clear to users that they were out of security support. I will look into what can be done to improve the communication to users in all the usual places that information about security updates are communicated, to let users know they are running unsupported kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818134 Title: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Package not installed ubuntu14.04.5LTS kernel 3.13.0-165-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1818134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Other commenters, please confirm what kernel version you are seeing this behavior with. If this is not reproducible with either the linux- generic 3.13 kernel or the linux-lts-xenial 4.4 kernel, then it is not going to be fixed. Note also that Ubuntu 14.04 has reached the end of standard support, so in addition to the other *-lts-* kernels being out of security support for a long time already, the rest of your system is also out of security support unless you have ESM enabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818134 Title: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Package not installed ubuntu14.04.5LTS kernel 3.13.0-165-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1818134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@vandebo, your apport information shows the following: ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.16.0-77-generic.efi.signed root=/dev/mapper/kubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash nomdmonddf nomdmonisw vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-77.99~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt27 That appears to be the last released version of the linux-lts-utopic kernel.

[Bug 1818134] Re: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Package not installed ubuntu14.04.5LTS kernel 3.13.0-165-generic
I've done some more investigation this morning, and I think I've narrowed down the problem slightly further. It seems I *can* upgrade 'dkms' (and also install 'shim'), as long as I leave 'shim-signed' uninstalled, although this has a few caveats... It seems if I 'sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source && sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source' while the 'shim-signed' package is installed, then this builds a "broken" 'wl' module which always gives the message 'modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Package not installed' when you try to modprobe it (even after purging 'shim-signed' and rebooting). However if I 'sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source && sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source' while the 'shim-signed' package is NOT installed, then this builds a 'wl' module which works (even after installing 'shim-signed'). I also updated the BIOS on my XPS 13 9343 to version A19, but this made no difference. Because installing or uninstalling 'shim-signed' doesn't automatically rebuild DKMS modules, this means you can easily get into some confusing "conflicting" states, e.g. you can purge-and-install 'bcmwl-kernel- source' while 'shim-signed' isn't installed (to get a working 'wl' module), and then install 'shim-signed', and your WiFi will remain working (with the old module), but the next time your DKMS modules get rebuilt your WiFi will suddenly stop working (with the newly-built module). I know very little about kernel modules and secureboot, but from what I can tell this is possibly a regression caused by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim-signed/+bug/1748983 interacting with e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1572659 ** Also affects: shim-signed (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818134 Title: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Package not installed ubuntu14.04.5LTS kernel 3.13.0-165-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1818134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

see that on the 18th February the 'dkms' package got bumped from

signed' package got bumped from 1.33.1~14.0.4.3+13-0ubuntu2 to
