Re: [Bug 1479913] Re: SRU request: fglrx.ko fails because of backported GPL-only 'pci_ignore_hotplug' symbol

 

I'm sharing your opinion, for inexperienced users it's a disaster and bad for the reputation of Linux.
But I also thank the devs providing a fix in relatively short time.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  An update to the lts-vivid backported kernel (3.19.0-26) in Trusty and to the default kernel in Vivid, pulled in a commit that made pci_ignore_hotplug() GPL only. As a result, the DKMS module fails.

  [Test Case]
  Install the new packages and check that DKMS doesn't fail.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, the patches are already included wily.
