New install of Xubuntu on a Toshiba laptop (not a virtual machine)
lsb_release -a = Ubuntu 24.02.2 LTS Noble
uname -a = Linux Xubuntu 6.11.0-21-generic #21~24.04.1-Ubuntu
The OS appeared to install properly but any software I install generates a variety of dkpg errors:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.11.0-21-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/xtrx/0.0.1+git20190320.5ae3a3e-3.2ubuntu2/build/make.log for more information.
dkms autoinstall on 6.11.0-21-generic/x86_64 succeeded for broadcom-sta
dkms autoinstall on 6.11.0-21-generic/x86_64 failed for xtrx(10)
Error! One or more modules failed to install during autoinstall.
Refer to previous errors for more information.
- dkms: autoinstall for kernel 6.11.0-21-generic
ā¦fail!
run-parts: /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms exited with return code 11
/var/crash/xtrx-dkms.0.crash contains many errors such as:
'struct uart_stateā has no member named āxmitā
implicit declaration of function āuart_circ_emptyā
invalid use of undefined type āstruct circ_bufā
Even trying delete and reinstall xtrx-dkms creates the same errors.
After some research I think this is a knows bug:
xtrx-dkms fails to build on kernel 6.11.x
Although the bug status is āconfirmedā, I see it is still unassigned after some period of time.
So my question is how do I resolve this?
Do I have to wait until the bug is finally fixed?
Is there a workaround or alternate package to install?
Should I just wipe the disk and reinstall a previous version?
(But wouldnāt everyone else be having this same problem?)
Over the years Iāve done many installations of Ubuntu (although mostly on virtual machines) and never had a problem. But Iām not certain how to resolve this so any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
