      @olivierlambert Doesn't seem to matter, I tried various installers of the 24.04 beta, they all develop the issue with 6.8 kernel which they get after the first upgrade. I first encountered this with a headless homelab virtual.

      I just brought this up here as 24.04 will be out next month and after that there will most likely be a lot of people reacting to the issue. It appears to be related running as a guest under Xen. I couldn't replicate the issue with real hardware or KVM.

        Thanks, I can reproduce with the nightly Ubuntu build. Asked internally so someone take a look. I suspect it will be spotted (or maybe already) since AWS still using Xen at scale (it would be VERY visible)

          @olivierlambert This appears to fix it:

              Update now that 24.04 release date has been announced for the 25th of april.

              The kernel has not been updated in the recently released beta and the bug is still present.

              According to launcpad it is not even assigned so unsure of how much important Canonical considers it...

                I'm not sure there's anything we can do, any idea @stormi or @yann ?

                  @olivierlambert They operate with squeaky wheel mentality, the more "I have this too" presses that report gets, the likely it'll be someone eventually notices.

                    @yann can you take a look at this and push Canonical on this?

                      Catching up with the subject...

                      The good news first: the patch is already in the 6.8 stable branch (as c8b7b2f158d9d4fb89cd2f68244af154f7549bb4), and part of v6.8.5.

                      The Ubuntu situation is:

                      • master kernel branch OTOH has been at v6.8.4 for 12 days, with only minor packaging adjustments since then
                      • latest tag on master is 6.8.0-25 (only used for lowlatency kernel as of today), based on v6.8.1
                      • they also have a 6.8.0-26 and changelog entries for -27 on master-next (all about s390)
                      • standard kernel at 6.8.0-22, based on v6.8.1 too

                      I'm not familiar with their internal processes, but I suspect they're probably in a validation cycle for upcoming upcoming version right now, and any such fix would have to wait for next one.

                      The tracker ticket for 6.8.0-27 seems to imply -27 packaging is "in progress". Still digging...

                        Raised this on IRC, resulting in:

                        I'll see what I can do, we may still have some time to include this before the release

                        I guess that's pretty much all we can do on our side (and that's nice from them 😉 ).

                                Has anyone been able to install Ubuntu 24.04 in VM from current official ISO? It seems that official ISOs (i.e. installer) still use unpatched kernel 6.8.0-22. Are there any newer ISO builds that I'm not aware of?

                                EDIT:
                                Sorry. False alarm. I screwed up my PXE settings. There was some leftover kernel and initrd images from beta versions of ISO. Kernel and initrd from latest ISOs work properly.

                                  I believe Proxmox Backup Server kernel Linux pbs 6.8.4-2-pve has also the same issue.
                                  updating to Linux pbs 6.8.12-1-pve solves.
