Public bug reported: linux-image-extra-virtual currently depends on linux-image-generic which depends on too much when you consider it's use in VMs.
linux-image-generic comes with unneeded bits like the Intel/AMD microcodes, linux-firmware and thermald packages which are most of the time unneeded/unwanted in VMs. It would be nice for linux-image-extra-virtual to depend on: * linux-modules-extra-X.Y.Z-generic This way, users of VMs wanting more than just the regular set of modules that come with linux-image-virtual would simply need to install linux-image-extra-virtual to get the versioned dependency on the -extra set of modules. ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - linux-image-extra-virtual should not depend on linux-image-generic + linux-image-extra-virtual should depend linux-modules-extra-X.Y.Z-generic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064739 Title: linux-image-extra-virtual should depend linux-modules- extra-X.Y.Z-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/2064739/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
