[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1788997] Re: rtl8723be wifi does not work under linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-33-generic
Well, I have to stand corrected ! Thanks to the hints in #92/#93 I was able to have the proposed kernel installed. I have removed the test kernel as of #75 as a prerequisite first !! I have as well used the apt command as opposed to the Software Updater UI.

I'm downloading from archive.canonical.com/ubuntu ...but NOT from a mirror. The test kernel as of #77 is already at version 49 !, so how can a kernel in proposed be at version # 48. That does seem to make any sense to me. Even if it where at version 48, the software updater would ignore it, as there is a more recent version, i.e. #49 , available. uname -a yields ...Linux heri-hp-pc 4.15.0-46-generic #49 SMP Fri Mar 8 13:21:42 CST 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, i.e. that is the test kernel, which I have verified and as well in use for quite a while.

oh well, it seems to me that kernel versioning is pretty much messed up. The (test) kernel I had installed, as of #77 reports version 4.15.0-46 ( linux-unsigned, modules, modoles-extra). Software Updater reports the very same version numbers for those modules to be updated, independent from whether -proposed under the development tab in Software Updater is enabled or not !! So either the kernel with the reverted code has not been checked in properly, or versioning is messed up or -proposed doesn't work properly ... sigh ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788997 Title: rtl8723be wifi does not work under linux-modules- extra-4.15.0-33-generic Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: === SRU Justification === [Impact] Realtek 8723be's ant_sel parameter stops working since 4.15.0-33.36.

The Kernel modules as shown when -proposed is enabled DOES NOT solve the problem at all. The wifi signal is still extremely weak. Only the test kernel mention in #77 and #78 solves the problem. It's as well somewhat weird, that the version number in proposed has not been bumped up, as promised in #79. The documentation for enabling -proposed is, by the way, not 100% up-to- date, as bionic has a new development tab in software update's setting, where you have to enabled proposed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788997 Title: rtl8723be wifi does not work under linux-modules- extra-4.15.0-33-generic Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: === SRU Justification === [Impact] Realtek 8723be's ant_sel parameter stops working since 4.15.0-33.36.

well...this bug has been unresolved for more than 6 month meanwhile, which is pretty hard for me to understand. I think it is common understanding that the Linux community is fixing bugs more or less instantaneously, as opposed to Microsoft Windows. Reverting a code change is a no brainer, which leave the question why this bug is not fixed with a kernel update. Quite a few contributers, as well as myself, have tested kernels that fix the bug, let alone, that no "official" fix has been released meanwhile. This is pretty much frustrating. I can as well not agree that breaking a functionality completely can be considered as "medium impact"..

A new kernel update 4.15.0.34 has been provided recently. This kernel doesn't work with / support rtl8723be either. It seems the fix has not been committed so far. 18.4.1 typically keeps two kernels, unless you modify /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal, so to keep more kernels. Hence users that installed the latest kernel update will have not more kernel installed that supports rtl8723be !! The changes, that were applied in 4.15.0.33, have completely broken all system with rtl8223be meanwhile, unless you've made changes to the system how it handles kernel updates. So I think there is evidence to provide a kernel update including the fixes to support rtl8723be immediately. - Heribert -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788997 Title: rtl8723be wifi does not work under linux-modules- extra-4.15.0-33-generic Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: When starting Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on a laptop HP 1S-af023ng with kernel 4.15.0-32.35 amd64, wifi via rtl8723be works OK. Using actual 4.15.0-33.36 amd64 instead, rtl8723be doesn't find any wifi networks and thus there is no connection. Changing the antenna setup in /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be_options.conf doesn't help either; as a workaround an external wifi device (Gigaset USB Adapter 108) works.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1788997] Re: rtl8723be wifi does not work under linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-33-generic
Same story here with HP 17-y009ng, 16.04 worked like a charm, with ant_sel=2 ( after having had a hard time to find out that this option was a must). Kernel 4.15.0.32 worked as well after upgrade to 18.04-1. No more wifi signal after update to kernel 4.1.5.0-33. Tried all other module options but had no success.
