I uploaded 5.0.30 in my ppa and in xenial- queue
** Summary changed:
- Trouble installing mainline kernel 4.8: virtualbox-dkms
5.0.24-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1: virtualbox kernel module failed to build
+ [SRU] Trouble installing mainline kernel 4.8: virtualbox-dkms
5.0.24-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1: virtualbox kernel module failed to build
** Description changed:
- Installed mainline kernel 4.8 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64 and got this error.
- Should I uninstall and return to 4.7.6?
+ [SRU Template ]
+ * the virtualbox kernel module needs some tweaks for the new kernel 4.8.
+ Using 5.0.24 and patching it is not quite easy, because we get less testing
and diverge from upstream.
+ * We already did some minor release bump on xenial, without issues, and I
think 5.0.30 is the best candidate to go in updates right now, fixing only bugs
since 5.0.24 and keeping the kernel modules up-to-date.
+
+ ext-pack and guest-additions should follow the same way
+
+
+ (a 5.1 upload would be nice, but too many changes)
+
+ [Impact]
+ Installed mainline kernel 4.8 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64 and got this error.
Should I uninstall and return to 4.7.6?
