** Description changed: [ Summary ] hwe-qcom-x1e-meta should automatically get installed during Ubuntu installation on supported laptops. This works by using modalias signatures in d/hwe-qcom-x1e-meta.modaliases which ubuntu-drivers uses to find supported driver packages. The current matching pattern for the Asus Vivobook is: dmi:bvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:*:pnASUSVivobookS15* This is incorrect, since bvn is the BIOS vendor field which is not actually ASUS. The actual content of /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias on the laptop is: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrS5507QAD.362:bd12/26/2024:br3.7:efr3.9:svnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:pnASUSVivobookS15S5507QA_S5507QAD:pvr1.0:rvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:rnS5507QAD:rvr1.0:cvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:ct10:cvr1.0:sku(null): This is easily fixed by adjusting the pattern to sth like: dmi:*:svnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:pnASUSVivobookS15* [ User Impact ] user tries to install Ubuntu 25.04 on an Asus Vivobook. Installer boots and everything looks fine but when they try to boot into the installed system it won't work. This is because the modalias didn't match, the ubuntu-x1e-settings package wasn't automatically installed and now they are missing configuration files without which the system won't boot. [ Test Plan ] Someone with access to the hardware can verify the validity of the new pattern with the following script: for l in $(find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat); do if [[ $l == dmi:*:svnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:pnASUSVivobookS15* ]]; then echo $l; fi; done Once a fix is in proposed, "ubuntu-drivers list" should return hwe- qcom-x1e-meta on the affected machine with proposed enabled. Testing the -proposed package in the installer might be tricky and not feasible. Instead, since the fix is already in Questing, I propose we ask someone with access to the hardware to test if the Questing daily image installation works as expected and use that as confirmation that the fix works. I asked for test feedback on discourse, see https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-10-concept-snapdragon-x-elite/48800/931 + Once the changes are in 25.04 we can also ensure that the installer + there works as expected. + [ Regression Potential ] Close to none. The current pattern doesn't work, a patch would only touch that. In the worst case it will still not work, it can't affect any other devices.
