    • Performed verification of SRU on jammy and noble

Noble

  • mercurial SRU landed (LP: #2070443)
  • Test appearance of phantom Bluetooth controller on CM4 for QA team
    • Unable to replicate on noble when pi-bluetooth absent
    • pi-bluetooth should be removed on upgrade as it’s no longer required (and is no longer part of the seed)

  • Investigated mesa issue with D0 stepping of the Pi 5 2712 (LP: #2082072)
    • Confirmed oracular’s mesa works
    • Confirmed noble’s mesa doesn’t
    • Which also means snaps based on noble’s mesa don’t work on oracular (firefox, thunderbird, snap-store)
    • Testing PPA of backport
  • Looking at FTBFS fix from @mkukri (LP: #2082160); should sponsor shortly

Bug #2063255 “Cannot play audio via HDMI on server” : Bugs : linux-raspi package : Ubuntu

  • Came across this during the ISO Testing
