Just a quick note to confirm that removing and installing previous
failing DKMS modules for kernel 4.4.0-116 as explained in comment 30,
worked wonders for our issue with vboxdrv issue and retpoline.

Thanks!

2018-03-15 Thread Sebastien
Tomorrow, I boot my PC on 3.13.0.142 kernel.

There was lots of updates for several compiler.

Right after I reboot my PC and go to the -143 kernel. dkms remove
nvidia, dkms install nvidia.

then, modinfo nvidia| grep vermagic now shoes "retpoline".

At this point I know everything was fixed.

Reboot the PC, load -143 kernel.

It works. Finally.

Doest it mean the -143 kernel was compiled with different version of gcc
that default 14.04 gcc?

Can we get updated compilers in the ubuntu-toolchain-r/test ppa

2018-03-09 Thread Filippo Molesti
Could we please know when this bug is going to be fixed at last?

If is not uncommon, actually quite common I would say, to have a NVIDIA
graphic card and a more recent version of GCC installed than the one in
the Ubuntu distribution, which is quite old. And then the machine is
broke when the new kernel is installed!

All the fixes in the above risk breaking the machine irreparably. Even
reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch may not work in the long run, if the
bug is not fixed in the new kernel version, because one also need to use
the most recent versions of GCC and thus the problem is bound to
reoccur. And having to keep using kernel 112 also looks quite
unsatisfactorily as a long term solution.

We need the matter to be fixed once and for all.

I had the same problem with zfs too.

Changed :
CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y
to
CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n
in 
/boot/config-4.4.0-116-generic

and reinstalled the nvidia/zfs kernel modules.

To me it seems that the config file shipped with the kernel is not
matching the version used for compiling.

2018-03-06 Thread Arna Ghosh
Hello everyone,
Thanks to your answers and this discussion. I ran into this problem yesterday. 
Although I tried the instructions by @cjjefcoat on #57, it didn't give me back 
my display as expected. Unity got screwed up and although I could see the 
display, the rendering was not proper. The windows didn't have the title bar 
and most keyboard functionality won't work. I didn't even have the task bar. 
I went back to -112 version of the kernel but only found the same result. So I 
reinstalled all NVIDIA drviers and uninstalled CUDA with no luck at all. 
Finally I tried restarting Unity by following #14 here - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1569357/comments/14

and it worked for me :D 
Now I tried running everything on 116 kernel and it works. So in case unity 
screws up for any of you after you reinstall the 116 kernel, try restarting 
Unity and hope it works :D

Cheers

Bryce Schober (bryce-schober): I had a very similar issue, but on 16.04
and wanting gcc-7. Adding the the toolchain ppa made gcc-5 subject to
upgrading, triggering this issue. I managed to deal with it with package
pinning and aptitude (see comment 58).

Here are a few more details if in case you want to try this yourself (I
recommend using Timeshift or similar in case you want to go back).

$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/toolchain.pref

On Ubuntu 14.04, I've installed the ubuntu-toolchain-r/test ppa in order
to get a gcc-5 compiler, and the assumedly-conflicting

Is there a better PPA option for installing gcc-5 on Ubuntu 14.04?

At first, I cannot find the driver when I typed nvidia-smi. So I try to
reinstall the nvidia driver. In this process, I met the absolutely same
problem as

2018-03-03 Thread John Sopko
I manage 300+ machines that run openafs that has a dkms built kernel
module like the nvidia module that needs to be built. I also manage
dozens of nvidia gpu servers where users have sudo access and can
install anything they want. Here is a snippet of what I found. Note this
is for 16.04 systems but 14.04 systems running the 4.4.0-116 kernel will
have similar problems:

Short story, if your machine is not using the Ubuntu supplied gcc you
will have issues with afs and nvidia built kernel modules or any dkms
built kernel modules. Longer story below.

NOTE!  this problem affects at least, openafs, nvidia, virtual box or
any dkms built module. I am going to forward this info to
gr...@cs.unc.edu. This started with the latest Ubuntu  4.4.0-116
kernel version.

Looking through that bug and testing took me hours. The short story is
the machines having issues with openafs.ko module are ones that have
the Ubuntu toolchain ppa that has a gcc compiler suite that does not
support the "retpoline" feature which was recently put in to fix the
Spectre security issue. The nvidia module will also have issues.

The machines using the Ubuntu supplied gcc compiler are the ones that
are not having issues. But, host olympia was a special case.

The compiler that works, using "gcc -v"

gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9)

The ones that don't work like host bvisionserver8:

gcc version 5.4.1 20160904

You can use "apt-cache policy gcc" to show what repo the compiler
comes from. WARNING, /usr/bin/gcc is a link to /usr/bin/gcc-5, the gcc
package is a meta package and you need to query gcc-5. If you query
gcc it shows coming from the standard Ubuntu repo but /usr/bin/gcc-5
is coming from the toolchain repo.

A good gcc-5 shows:


classroom:55% apt-cache policy gcc-5
gcc-5:

On a good machine modinfo openafs shows that retpoline is turned on in
the vermagic: line:
