Ubfan1 and I have talking about this out on the Forum: Were we have to help other Users with this. RE: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2494834
I think his idea on something is genius: That if the compiler version is brought in by the kernel on kernel updates as a dependency, so that the compiler is of the same version as the Kernel was compiled with... Noting that it doesn't not have to replace the old compiler, can be additional, along side it, then this solves this problem. He just tested this on some fresh 22.04.3 installs and it works. Sorry, It's hard to grasp that the answer is "Not going to fix", ...when there is a drastic problem that is being caused by the current update path, that is causing Users to have non-working installations. We are just here to report it and to help in any way to resolve it. If this is not the accepted solution, then lets work together to find one that is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051457 Title: Jammy 22.04.3 gcc compiler no longer builds modules for 6.5.0 kernel series Status in dkms package in Ubuntu: New Status in gcc-defaults package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since Jammy went to the 6.5.0 kernel series, that kernel series was compiled with gcc-12. The previous 6.2.0 series kernels were compiled with gcc-11. The current version of gcc in jammy is 11.4. Many NVidia drivers, wifi drivers, VirtualBox (from our Repo), etc fail to build the modules, because of a gcc compiler version mismatch between what the current running kernel was built by, and the module being built. I recognized this while helping Users with NVidia driver compile errors on the forum, and came up with this work-around for them: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2494273&p=14175164#post14175164 Summary: Install gcc-12 & g++-12 on 22.04.3 and use it as the compiler. Since then, this work-around has helped to resolve problems with running the 6.5.0 series kernels and building modules for other applications and hardware drivers: VirtualBox, WiFi Drivers, etc. for use with the 6.5.0 series. I have run this for over a month as my default with no ill affects. I have continued to recommend this work-around to many user to solve their problems... *** I think it is time to look at pushing through gcc-12 as the default compiler for 22.04.3 through the normal updates channel.
