Hi Putatieve, thanks for you attention here. Let me try to clarify what happens here: the issue is present in kernel 4.4.0-142, 4.15.0-45 and 4.18.0-14. The three versions were already released,
but the fix for the regression observed in this LP is present in the new versions that are getting released in this cycle.

For Ubuntu 16.04/Xenial (and Trusty-HWE), the candidate version is: 4.4.0-143. This version is already available through the -proposed pocket, nubu validated that it fixes the issue (thanks nubu!).

For Ubuntu 18.04/Bionic (and Xenial-HWE), the candidate version for kernel 4.15 wasn't released yet, so we can't validate yet. This was the reason you couldn't test - your Ubuntu is configured to use 4.15 series, the called HWE kernel. Given the proposed version of 4.15 series for this cycle wasn't released yet, you couldn't test. You *can* install 4.4.0-143 from -proposed if you want, but you'll need to manually set grub to boot that instead of 4.15 (as per md_5 comment).

Finally, for Ubuntu 18.10/Cosmic, the fix was released in -updates already, in kernel 4.18.0-15, so the -proposed test isn't even necessary, the fix was released normally by now.

Please, let me know if you have questions on Ubuntu kernel cycles in order we can clarify it for you.
Cheers,

Guilherme
