Title:
Virtual GPU driver packaging regression
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Kinetic:
New
Bug description:
Several virtual machine GPU drivers were moved from linux-modules-
extra to linux-modules in bug #1960633 so that users running
virtualized Linux would not need to install the drivers for real
hardware in linux-modules-extra.
linux-modules-5.19.0-23-generic in Kinetic (22.10) does not have these
drivers, but linux-modules-extra-5.19.0-23-generic does. This is a
regression.
Impact: When I upgraded from 22.04 to 22.10, my VMWare instance was
limited to sub-HD resolutions until I installed linux-modules-
extra-5.19.0-23-generic.
A previous kernel (5.15) had the modules in linux-modules:
$ dpkg -L linux-modules-5.15.0-52-generic | grep -E
'drivers/gpu/drm/(vmwgfx|xen|virtio).*\.ko'
/lib/modules/5.15.0-52-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtio-gpu.ko
/lib/modules/5.15.0-52-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko
/lib/modules/5.15.0-52-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/xen/drm_xen_front.ko
$ dpkg -L linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-52-generic | grep -E
'drivers/gpu/drm/(vmwgfx|xen|virtio).*\.ko'
$
The current kernel (5.19) has the modules in linux-modules-extra:
$ dpkg -L linux-modules-5.19.0-23-generic | grep -E
'drivers/gpu/drm/(vmwgfx|xen|virtio).*\.ko'
$
$ dpkg -L linux-modules-extra-5.19.0-23-generic | grep -E
'drivers/gpu/drm/(vmwgfx|xen|virtio).*\.ko'
/lib/modules/5.19.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtio-gpu.ko
/lib/modules/5.19.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko
/lib/modules/5.19.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/xen/drm_xen_front.ko
