Bug Description

[Impact]

* Google reports not being able to display graphic desktop environment.

[Fix]

* CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB was initially enabled in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/jammy/commit/?h=master-next&id=0bf2a2472f71a3001a8a9a0849b6bed7e7069a7b. It was subsequently disabled for amd64 in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/jammy/commit/?h=master-next&id=40b0ce0833309133453c3dbc19753f62084c0a7a. This was not reflected in the GCP kernel config.

[Test Case]

* Compile tested
* Boot tested
* To be tested by Google

[Where things could go wrong]

* Low chance of regression. Simple config change that was not taken from generic.

[Other Info]

* SF #00366439

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-gcp/5.15.0-1047.55 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-gcp' to 'verification-done-jammy-linux-gcp'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-gcp' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux-gcp'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Kyler

Can you please clarify who is asking who to verify proposed solution in linux-gcp/6.5.0-1009.9 kernel in comment#3 above?

Is it waiting on Google or this is between your internal canonical teams?
