I have been running this on my kabylake laptop and skylake desktop under X for quite some time now, and haven't hit any issues that I can attribute to the microcode. I attempted to follow the reproducer here https://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=7452 , but some of the versions of packages required for that reproducer are too old in the X archive, and I don't want to cruft up my machine. I plan on building a chroot to test that reproducer, but I haven't gotten around to it.
@rbasak, I agree with your assessment to let this soak in -proposed for an extended amount of time in the hopes of getting additional testing. ** Bug watch added: caml.inria.fr/mantis/ #7452 http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=7452 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700373 Title: intel-microcode is out of date, version 20170707 fixes errata on 6th and 7th generation platforms To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1700373/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
