Well after many days and heaven alone knows how many hours, I'm beginning to go completely loopy. After getting a number of odd messages (as in above) I finally got the following:
debian/rules.d/4-checks.mk:12: recipe for target 'module-check-generic' failed make: *** [module-check-generic] Error 1 I tried a number of things like adjusting the HEAD, but nothing changed. So I figured I must have made a mistake somewhere and started again. More odd messages. Not wanting to go down that path again I tried playing a little with the bisect range, but all this showed was what I've always suspected - the problem lies between 4.3.0-7.18 and 4.4.0-1.15. When I try to bisect these to confirm, the 'debian.master' directory gets deleted, which appears to be because they are non-linear (whatever that means). Looking at the instructions, they get pretty vague here. Seems to me they are fine for straightforward things, but quite esoteric when things go awry. Is it telling me that I now need to commit bisect the mainline kernels? It mentions something about mapping one to the other, but this proved confusing and useless. I'd like some confirmation about this as all I really know where mainline kernels are concerned is that I have no problem at v4.3.6 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3.6-wily) and have a problem at v4.4-rc1+cod1 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc1+cod1-wily). To be honest, I'm not even sure that posting here is the proper way to seek assistance (I'm starting to suspect it isn't in which case I'm really lost), but will attempt the mainline bisect if I here nothing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613027 Title: Network scanner not detected by xsane after upgrade to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1613027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
