Hello Ras, or anyone else affected, Accepted linux-firmware into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- firmware/20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.5 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: linux-firmware (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1984004 Title: Linux Firmware drops AMD RX6650 XT Performance Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-firmware source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] In e.g. the Unigine benchmark, the linux-firmware packages drops the performance of my AMD RX 6650 XT GPU from 98 FPS in 1080p-high down to 23 FPS. That wasn't a problem in Mint 20.3 with kernel 5.15 (Ubuntu 20.04 based). Getting the firmware directly from git brings the performance back to about 100 FPS: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git cd linux-firmware sudo make install sudo update-initramfs -c -k all [Fix] Update amdgpu/dimgrey_cavefish_* firmware files to latest versions from kernel.org. [Test Case] See original description. [Where Problems Could Occur] Isolated to AMD GPUs that use dimgrey_cavefish firmware blobs. [Original Description] Kernel: 5.15.0-43-generic linux-firmware: 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.3 Tested with: Mint 21 Cinnamon (Ubuntu 22.04 based) In e.g. the Unigine benchmark, the linux-firmware packages drops the performance of my AMD RX 6650 XT GPU from 98 FPS in 1080p-high down to 23 FPS. That wasn't a problem in Mint 20.3 with kernel 5.15 (Ubuntu 20.04 based). Getting the firmware directly from git brings the performance back to about 100 FPS: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git cd linux-firmware sudo make install sudo update-initramfs -c -k all Re-installing the linux-firmware package causes the performance to drop again. So there is a problem with the linux firmware at least for the RX 6650 XT, maybe for the whole RX 6000 series. The linux-firmware package in Ubuntu 22.04 should be updated. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC2: daelach 1352 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: daelach 1352 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: daelach 1352 F.... pulseaudio CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: X-Cinnamon Dependencies: firmware-sof-signed 2.0-1ubuntu3 [origin: Ubuntu] DistroRelease: Linux Mint 21 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-08-24 (714 days ago) InstallationMedia: Linux Mint 20 "Ulyana" - Release amd64 20200624 IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. enp6s0 no wireless extensions.
