[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1849348] Re: Greater than linux 5.4-rc4 headers -- Unable to build simple kernel module
Folks,
Thanks to @dacorsa and his post on the virtualbox forum, here is the
"workaround" for the issue (this is to build the VirtualBox modules. different
modules may be different)
1. Install gcc-8
sudo apt install gcc-8 g++-8
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 80 --slave
/usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-8 --slave /usr/bin/gcov gcov /usr/bin/gcov-8
if you now run
gcc --version
you will see that you have v8.
2. Next, issue the vboxconfig command:
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
and voila. No need to recompile the kernel or anything. vbox started right
after that. I am on kernel 5.5.0

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1849348] Re: linux 5.4-rc4 Unable to build simple kernel module
Folks, Just as an update, this is affecting anyone that wants to use
VirtualBox with kernel 5.4 and 5.5, when it is just downloaded from the
kernel repository.
You can see more activity at
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7=96297. Virtualbox
maintainers have also confirmed the above and closed the bug as it is
not something they control. See https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19244
for their response.
I am not sure if there is a different place to post this to get other
visibility, as the header of this report mentions an RC build, but this
is happening in any released 5.4 kernel, as well as 5.5.
Thanks.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1550779] Re: [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun - Xorg glitches
Like others, this still occurs on 4.15.13-041513-lowlatency with a clean install of 16.04. However, please note: It ONLY occurs if I am connected from my laptop's docking station (HP 840 G2) to an external monitor (HDMI or DVI same issue), AND the laptop lid is DOWN. If the above is true i get the same error, or the funny graphics, etc. However, if i keep the laptop lid OPEN, even though i am still connected to the external screen, i have NO problem booting up. -- 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/1550779 Title: [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun - Xorg glitches Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Upgraded linux-image-extra-4.2.0-30-generic I see graphic glitches, looks like the graphic buffer gets screwed up - funny repetition's patterns (back in time glitches) - black screen (<1sec) - graphic errors I can influence the severity of the issue with switching windows and using certain programs, e.g. Google Maps in chrome causes this issue reproducibly dmesg | grep i915 [2.726864] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20150522 for :00:02.0 on minor 0 [2.792005] [drm] GMBUS [i915 gmbus dpb] timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 5 [3.471092] i915 :00:02.0: fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device [3.471093] i915 :00:02.0: registered panic notifier [9.573129] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun [9.574847] [drm:intel_set_pch_fifo_underrun_reporting [i915]] *ERROR* uncleared pch fifo underrun on pch transcoder A [9.574895] [drm:intel_pch_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun linux-image-extra-4.2.0-27-generic works find ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-30.36-generic 4.2.8-ckt3 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-30-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sat Feb 27 20:26:07 2016 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: wily DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: virtualbox, 5.0.14, 4.2.0-27-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.14, 4.2.0-30-generic, x86_64: installed EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, including running git bisection searches GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:21da] InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-02-11 (15 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) MachineType: LENOVO 42912XG ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/@/boot/vmlinuz-4.2.0-30-generic root=UUID=cb34d7bb-9316-49b3-aa94-4e2a3512168f ro rootflags=subvol=@ noprompt quiet SourcePackage: xorg UdevLog: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/log/udev' UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 07/18/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 8DET69WW (1.39 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 42912XG dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr8DET69WW(1.39):bd07/18/2013:svnLENOVO:pn42912XG:pvrThinkPadX220:rvnLENOVO:rn42912XG:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 42912XG dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X220 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.12.2+15.10.20151202-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.64-1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 11.0.2-1ubuntu4 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 11.0.2-1ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.17.2-1ubuntu9.1 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.9.2-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.5.0+git20150819-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20150808-0ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu3 xserver.bootTime: Sat Feb 27 20:25:23 2016 xserver.configfile: default xserver.errors: xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.outputs: product id 12359 vendor SEC xserver.version: 2:1.17.2-1ubuntu9.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to:
