    Phoronix: Linux 4.18-rc8 Kernel Released, Final Pushed Back To Next Weekend

    Last Sunday Linus Torvalds released 4.18-rc7 and expected that to be the last release candidate followed by the stable debut one week later, which would have been today. But by Tuesday this past week he had already decided he would need to delay the release over recent notable regressions and an uptick in merge activity. As a result, out today is Linux 4.18-rc8...

      4.18-rc7 and rc8 break the fstrim command for me. Running F2FS on a NVMe SSD. Anyone notice anything similar?

        Just found out the hard way that 'Ubuntu Kernel Update Utility' does not install the kernels properly for snaps to work. Hours wasted looking for solution.

        @MartinTheWanderer As hinted in the conversation above, the issue is that snapd detects that it’s running inside Ubuntu, and expects certain things to work correctly, but they don’t because the kernel is not in fact an Ubuntu kernel.
