Please note that if a build has an issue installing 100%, then the reporter should not proceed with a test.
I thought that I observed a totally successful install of the 4.5 kernel image and headers yesterday but I missed seeing that the make of bcmwl failed to make even though the installation was successful according to the final state of the repository: ii linux-headers-4.5.0-040500 4.5.0-040500.20160314013 all Header files related to Linux kernel version 4.5.0 ii linux-headers-4.5.0-040500-generic 4.5.0-040500.20160314013 amd64 Linux kernel headers for version 4.5.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-4.5.0-040500-generic 4.5.0-040500.20160314013 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 4.5.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP Logs are attached in a tar.gz file. Specifically, gcc version 4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6 (up-to-date for 14.04.04) flagged the make of bcmwl as follows: make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-4.5.0-040500-generic' Makefile:666: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler CFG80211 API is prefered for this kernel version Using CFG80211 API LD /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build/built-in.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build/src/shared/linux_osl.o gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fstack-protector-strong’ make[1]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build/src/shared/linux_osl.o] Error 1 make: *** [_module_/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-4.5.0-040500-generic' It looks like I would need (at least) an upstream `gcc` to match this kernel. Who knows what else? This might be like peeling an onion. Keep in mind that my work-around described above is solid. Being a developer, I understand that the kernel developers need to prioritize their time and effort. If the kernel development team would be more comfortable with my retesting under 16.04 (would make sense!), then I can wait until this machine is available for an upgrade in, roughly, one month. ** Attachment added: "read in order: 1, 2, 3" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1556676/+attachment/4606577/+files/kernel_4.5_install.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556676 Title: In 14.04.04, r8169.ko cannot recover wired Ethernet connection after resume from suspend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1556676/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
