linux-aws needs modules: drm, drm_kms_helper

[Kamal Mostafa]

The modules drm.ko and drm_kms_helper.ko are needed to support future projects.

[Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa)]

I've confirmed that moving these into the aws.inclusion-list (allowing the modules into the linux-aws main package) successfully enables installation of other modules that depend on them.

Thanks Kamal. Do you have an estimate on when this would be available in the repos?

[Eric Nordlund (nrdlngr)]

Any update?

[Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa)]

It just landed in the -proposed pocket as linux-aws (4.4.0-1019.28). This version will be promoted to the -updates pocket within a week, unless problems with it are discovered in the meantime. You can download and manually install the package (with dpkg -i) from:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux-image-4.4.0-1019-aws_4.4.0-1019.28_amd64.deb

We'd appreciate your confirmation that it works as expected. Thanks Eric!

Version linux-aws (4.4.0-1019.28) which included this fix was bumped due to an unrelated important security fix. This fix is now scheduled to appear in the forthcoming linux-aws (4.4.0-1021.30) release. We'll post here once that version becomes available.

[Eric Nordlund (nrdlngr)]

I tried the linux-aws (4.4.0-1021.30) version, but my NVIDIA driver install still failed. I think I also need the corresponding linux-headers-4.4.0-1021-aws and linux-aws-headers-4.4.0-1021 packages. I could not find the linux-aws-headers-4.4.0-1021.

Can you share links for these packages and any other dependencies I need, and then I can try again?
