Bug Description
[ Impact ]
* Focal preinstalled systems with OEM kernel, if force upgraded to interim releases, before transitional packages have been made available resulted in systems having been stuck on focal oem kernel and not getting any kernel updates.
* Reintroduce all focal oem kernel transitionals to trigger upgrade to hwe kernel in all stable releases for the oem-20.04* kernels
[ Test Plan ]
* Starting with focal, install linux-image-
* Force upgrade to mantic
* Observe that all oem-20.04 meta packages got upgraded and rolled to generic hwe kernel (of appropriate version for jammy & mantic)
[ Where problems could occur ]
* This may trigger dkms package recompilation, and nvidia driver missmatches
* Likely users will have to rerun `ubuntu-drivers` or use additional drivers GUI to reinstall nvidia drivers
* Users may experience jump from v5.10 kernel to v6.5 kernel
[ Other Info ]
* Original bug report
After upgrading from Ubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 on a Dell Precision 5560, wifi and bluetooth did not work anymore.
Looking at the dmesg output I saw this:
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-
..
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-
no suitable firmware found!
minimum version required: iwlwifi-
minimum version required: iwlwifi-
These files did seem to exist in /lib/firmware.
I did sudo apt install linux-firmware/
Which did not fix it.
I manually overwrote the iwlwifi... files with the corresponding files from linux-firmware-
I did the same for ibt-19-0-4.sfi and that fixed the bluetooth issue.
So my best guess is that something is wrong in the latest firmware package.
