rpittauhi all! Mentioning this here too: I believe there's a regression in the most recent ubuntu (noble + jammy) ovmf pkg, we've seen our uefi jobs all failing after the upgrade, are you aware of anything related to that?14:00
fungirpittau: i haven't heard anything about it yet. when did it seem to start?15:01
fungihttps://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/e/edk2/edk2_2024.02-2ubuntu0.6/changelog indicates there were a slew of security fixes applied some time on or after october 815:03
fungi(the changelog dates can be misleading since they might have been stamped well before the corresponding package builds entered the archive)15:04
rpittaufungi: it started 2-3 days ago, right after the new pkg rollout15:04
rpittauI got confirmation from other projects that use the same way to run uefi vms15:04
rpittauit seems the vm does not proceed with networking boot and just loads the uefi shell15:05
rpittauan example https://8608dc342295bca6ebef-d0524a634af630f29119d8bdcd18a985.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/openstack/430f7a2a71744a4d9fdaa985b760910c/logs/testvm1_console.log15:05
rpittauwe're now pinning the older pkg as workaround15:05
fungidebian-trixie doesn't seem to have picked up those updates, fwiw15:06
rpittauit seems jammy is also impacted15:06
fungibut yeah, make sure to file a bug with ubuntu about the regression if there's not one yet15:07
rpittauI'm working on that, just wanted to verify the issue first15:08
rpittauas soon as the ci reports back I will press the button15:08
rpittaufungi: I've submitted the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/edk2/+bug/213323015:49
fungithanks for the heads-up about that, rpittau. a post to openstack-discuss with a short summary of your discovery might also be useful if you think there are at least a few other openstack projects broken by the same regression15:50
