[Bug 2107692] Please test proposed package

[Robie Basak]

Hello Tobias, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-x1e-settings into plucky-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-x1e-settings/25.04.9 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
plucky to verification-done-plucky. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-plucky. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  [SRU] Asus Vivobook S15 hwe-qcom-x1e-meta  modsignature doesn't work

Status in ubuntu-x1e-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-x1e-settings source package in Plucky:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubuntu-x1e-settings source package in Questing:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ 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.
