User1: User2 via linux-firmware upstream
User2: User1 yes, just upstream. i was working with someone in #ubuntu+1 yesterday who had a Radeon VII, which failed https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RntsGxtNDS/ on anything including 5.0 until they installed vega20_sos.bin from upstream
User2: oh i get it now, your point is that those firmwares aren't in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git yet, which is upstream for ubuntu's packages
User1: User2 yes
User2: ok, i'm not sure how they get there, but asked in #amdgpu
User2: either way, it's probably too late for 18.04.2?
User1: yes
User2: a pity. thanks for your feedback.
User1: there's no driver support anyway
User2: oh 4.20+ only, i see
User3: I have a user complaining about how the graphics drivers PPA version of 380.87 for Bionic will not install while the HWE Xorg packages are installed because the NVIDIA package depends on xserver-xorg-core and not xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.04.  I was going to add an "or" to the dependency so either one would work, but then I looked at the official package of 390.77 and saw that it doesn't seem to be installable while the HWE packages are installed
User3: either.  Is that correct?  What should be done about this?
User4: User1 why again "verification-needed-bionic"? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1815172
User5: Launchpad bug 1815172 in linux (Ubuntu) "Black screen on skylake after 18.0 => 18.2 update" [Undecided,Confirmed]
User1: User4 yeah, don't worry about it
User1: couldn't be avoided
User4: User1 ah ok so no need for me to test, ty
