For me it does NOT work with 6.8. I didn't get any errors when I installed the 6.8 kernel:
$ apt-cache policy linux-image-generic linux-image-generic: Installed: (none) Candidate: 6.8.0-138.138 ... $ sudo apt install linux-image-6.8.0-138-generic linux-headers-6.8.0-138-generic ...

I collected these outputs from a tty console. My Nvidia drivers may be suffering from the same issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2161038 Title: broadcom-sta-dkms fails to build with kernel 7.0 HWE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta/+bug/2161038/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
