[Bug 1969845] [NEW] grub-efi-amd64-signed does not respect grub2/update_nvram
Public bug reported: Hi, Unlike grub-efi-amd64, grub-efi-amd64-signed doesn't respect the value of "grub2/update_nvram": # debconf-show grub-efi-amd64 | grep grub2/update_nvram: * grub2/update_nvram: false # efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0002 Timeout: 1 seconds BootOrder: 0002,0003,0004,0007 Boot0002* UEFI: PXE IP4 P0 Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X550 Boot0003* UEFI: PXE IP4 P1 Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X550 Boot0004* UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell Boot0007* UEFI: PXE IP4 P0 American Megatrends Inc. # dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed Installing grub to /boot/efi.

This is especially problematic as grub-efi-amd64-signed is a dependency of shim-signed, an essential package, making its removal slightly problematic. From what I see, the postinst script is too simple: https://git.launchpad.net/~git-ubuntu- import/ubuntu/+source/grub2-signed/tree/debian/grub-efi- amd64-signed.postinst?h=import/1.180#n14 It should probably do something similar to grub-efi-amd64's postinst, i.e. run_grub_multi_install --target="$target" "$NO_EXTRA_REMOVABLE" "$NO_NVRAM" I also noticed that Debian doesn't have a postinst script for grub-efi- amd64-signed so I don't have a problem there. ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969845 Title: grub-efi-amd64-signed does not respect grub2/update_nvram To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1969845/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1948669] [NEW] linux-image-generic should suggest linux-firmware instead of depending on it
Public bug reported: Hello, At the moment, the only way to install linux-modules-extra and keep it up-to-date is to rely on linux-image-generic: # lsb_release -rd Description:Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Release:20.04 # apt-cache policy linux-image-generic linux-image-generic: Installed: (none) Candidate: 5.4.0.89.93 Version table: 5.4.0.89.93 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security/main amd64 Packages 5.4.0.26.32 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages # apt rdepends linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-89-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-89-generic Reverse Depends: Depends: linux-image-generic However, installing linux-image-generic pulls linux-firmware: # apt depends linux-image-generic linux-image-generic Depends: linux-image-5.4.0-89-generic Depends: linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-89-generic Depends: linux-firmware Depends: intel-microcode Depends: amd64-microcode Recommends: thermald I specifically need linux-modules-extra because it contains the r8169 module which some Ethernet controllers require. The driver doesn't need any of the firmware blobs but because of the way it is packaged, I end up creating Ubuntu installations several hundred megabytes larger than necessary (in my case, these extra megabytes do matter). The initramfs also gains a few dozen megabytes. Would it please be possible to either: - mark linux-firmware as "Recommends" instead of "Depends"? - create a metapackage that pulls only the latest version of linux-modules-extra and nothing else? In addition, I'm not 100% sure linux-modules-extra should have a hard dependency on crda or wireless-crda, maybe they could also be marked as recommended instead? ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948669 Title: linux-image-generic should suggest linux-firmware instead of depending on it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/1948669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
