On Feb 26 I opened this bug, which has not had any activity since I opened it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.13/+bug/1962373
I was hoping that maybe an upgrade to 22.04 would make the above irrelevant, but now I'm not able to 'do-release-upgrade' due to this bug. Can anybody give me some assurance that this bug won't end up like the last bug I filed? I can be patient if this bug is going to be worked on, but if it's not then I should probably start making plans to move to another distro that will work with my hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-hwe-5.13 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1986429 Title: do-release-upgrade fails Status in linux-hwe-5.13 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Running a completely up to date Ubuntu 20.04, I run: sudo do-release-upgrade and get the following output: <snipped the normal stuff above> Building dependency tree Reading state information...
