+--- Thread: Meltdown and Spectre & Linux (/showthread.php?tid=24687)
Meltdown and Spectre & Linux - Kurtbw - 4th January 2018
Should be self-explanatory from the thread title.
I would like to know if users will have to update kernels and other stuff, for lack of better description.
What are the developers' takes on this issue affecting CPUs? Â Inquiring minds would like to know!

Upgrading to a Kernel which includes the new KPTI patches should be enough.

Okey-dokey. Thanks!

Just a short notice. There will be a delay as apparently launchpad (the ppa and build infrastructure) is down atm.

Quote:Will plasmazilla be updated too ?Plasmazilla is a ppa on the launchpad service. So I uploaded the source but it isn't building atm. as apparently the build servers are down.
See the current status here: https://launchpad.net/~plasmazilla/+archive/ubuntu/builds
