[Bug 2036452] Re: Update of libc6 packages breaks graphics driver intel-i915-dkms

[Mike Ferreira]

Colin King asked me if he could look at it for me, but he's on vacation
until January...

I was told this morning that the problem was when the LTS 22.04.3 point
release was released. That's when Ubuntu changed it's LTS kernel series
to 6.2.0-x with the HWE stack, that broke the dkms package they had in
their Intel repo for jammy...

That:
>>>
intel-i915-dkms 1.23.6.24.230425.29+i44-1, this package doesn't have 6.2 support. 

Use latest dkms package: intel-i915-dkms/1.23.6.37.230425.49.
>>>
Unfortunately, that package version is not in their jammy repo:
>>>
mafoelffen at msi-ubuntu:~$ sudo apt list intel-i915-dkms -a
Listing... Done
intel-i915-dkms/unknown,unknown 1.23.8.20.230810.22+i33-1 all
intel-i915-dkms/unknown,unknown 1.23.7.17.230608.24+i37-1 all
intel-i915-dkms/unknown,unknown 1.23.6.24.230425.29+i44-1 all
intel-i915-dkms/unknown,unknown 1.23.5.19.230406.21.5.17.0.1034+i38-1 all
>>>
So that version of that package must be in another of their repo's(?)

If I can download it, if they don't do it themselves, I told then I
would unpack it and try to patch it, and repackge it, to work with
jammy's kernels.

There is now two Intel Support teams working on this. They told me to
continue to try to get this working on their Support Forum (linked
above), with the other team (also) following the progress there.

Platform is 22.04.3 on i9-13900K, info is noted above. Is iGPU, not
external ARC GPU. Is not a GPU problem, is confirmed as kernel series
version on 22.04.3 versus the intel-i915-dkms package version they have
in their jammy repo.
