** Description changed: - The Multimedia VIMC module provides a test interface for the linux-media - media controller framework. + == SRU Justification == + VIMC is a virtual media controller that can emulate a real media device. + This is useful for automated tests, and development of multimedia frameworks. + + == Fix == + Enable VIMC as a module in B/D/E kernel configs. + + == Test == + Test kernels could be found here: + https://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1831482-cfg-vimc/ + + User has reported that the Eoan kernel works as expected. + I have also smoke tested the B/D kernel to make sure the VIMC modules + can be loaded properly. + + == Regression Potential == + Low, this patchset just enable the VIMC module support. + + + == Original Bug report == + The Multimedia VIMC module provides a test interface for the linux-media media controller framework. This is useful for automated tests, and development of multimedia frameworks. Other components similar to this such as VIVID (CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVID=m) are enabled, but VIMC is missing from the linux-modules packages: $ grep VIMC /boot/config-* /boot/config-4.15.0-32-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set /boot/config-4.17.9-041709-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set /boot/config-4.18.4-041804-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set /boot/config-4.18.7-041807-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set /boot/config-5.0.0-13-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set /boot/config-5.0.0-15-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set - Could this be enabled in future releases as a module please? I'm running Ubuntu 19.04, with Ubuntu 5.0.0-13.14-generic 5.0.6, however I believe this issue affects all current Ubuntu kernel releases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1831482 Title: VIMC module not available (CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC not set) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1831482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
