[Bug 1745049] Re: Bumblebee crashes during boot with kernel 4.13.0.31 on Bionic

 

I have just tested my laptop by installing the mainline kernel 4.14.15.
It boots fine and bumblebee works fine.  So it looks like this upstream
kernel work OK with bumblebee.  Incidentally, I found out that I need to
install libelf-dev in order for kernel modules to get built successfully
with this upstream kernel.

Title:
  Bumblebee crashes during boot with kernel 4.13.0.31 on Bionic

Status in bumblebee package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My laptop (Dell XPS 15 9560) fails to boot to the login screen when bumblebee is installed and running with the latest Bionic kernel 4.13.0.31.  I recently upgraded to Bionic using update-manager -d.
  My workaround is to use the old kernel 4.13.0.25.26 instead.  My laptop boots fine with the old kernel and bumblebee works.
  I suspect there is some problem with bumblebee's compatibility with the new kernel.
