Thanks for the link Guilherme, guess that answers that question. Given March 4 is just round the corner, I am not sure there is much can be done at this point, but I will however just echo what Tom beat me to saying:
As a software developer I fully understand and recognise the need to delay things for various reasons even if it may seem everything is primed and ready to go. That being said I think the overall response time here has not been great at all. A kernel regression which breaks user space programs (including the default TTY login), and has a small, tested patch available should absolutely not take 3-4 weeks to be released. I understand that this new March 4 release will have additional unrelated patches that need that testing time, but I think breaking from the standard SRU cycle to either revert the problematic patches, or apply the fix would absolutely have been worth it - just look at the 13 duplicates of this bug and the posts on various other web forums / support sites. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813873 Title: Userspace break as a result of missing patch backport To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1813873/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
