Hi,
since I dont want to wait, what are the steps to get my systems down to this supported GA 6.8 kernel ?
As I told you I used “mainline” gui to install 6.8 and 6.8.12 kernel, but could not enable livepatching for either of those…
Thanks in advance
Well and as you know now these are incomplete (missing expected patches), insecure and use the wrong configuration so there is no way to make them ever work with livepatch …
You could try to install from a 24.04 image (without .1 or .2), that will install with the GA kernel and then just upgrade (which will get the userspace to 24.04.2 without moving you to the HWE kernel)…
The alternative is to wait til HWE is supported by livepatch…
You might also be able to install linux-generic and remove all traces of hwe, but that might be a bit fiddly
Downgrading to 24.04 is no option, since I require the current version (security, corporate environment)
“apt install linux-generic” offered me the 6.8 version. lets see if that helps
that did the trick, thank you

25.04 has been released 1 week ago. Yet 6.11 is not a livepatch supported kernel … I wonder if/when it will be supported
I can’t tell, you’d have to ask the kernel team if/when they expect it to be ready for livepatch … do you have any particular hardware that does not work with 6.8 ?
Perhaps asking here might be more fruitful:
