If there is an easy way to install the newer kernel on Focal I'll happily try it (I don't particularly want to build a kernel by hand again, I left Gentoo many years ago for a reason). I presume I could download a couple of deb from somewhere and install them by hand, then run some dkms commands for the nvidia drivers and then update-initramfs & update-grub? If you can point me to where I can get those debs I'll try it.
I did however try the backport module mentioned in https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/issues/230 and it solves the issue. This would indicate that upstream kernel update should also likely fix the problem. Also, it seems strange to delay a crash fix from the hwe kernel. Isn't the hwe kernel literally just the standard kernel from a newer ubuntu version recompiled with an older toolchain? ** Bug watch added: github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/issues #230 https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/issues/230 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1920772 Title: Kernel NULL pointer dereference when using Wacom pen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.8/+bug/1920772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
