** Summary changed:
- nvidia-304 can't be loaded with the lts-xenial kernel
+ SRU: nvidia-304 can't be loaded with the lts-xenial kernel
** Description changed:
- nvidia-304 doesn't work with the lts-xenial kernel, as it still relies
- on mtrr_add mtrr_del.
+ SRU Request:
+
+ [Impact]
+ nvidia-304 and its -updates flavour don't work with the lts-xenial kernel, as
the modules still rely on mtrr_add mtrr_del (dropped by Linux 4.3).
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) Enable the trusty-proposed repository, and install the
"linux-generic-lts-xenial"
+
+ 2) Install one of the available nvidia-304 packages or, if the nvidia
+ driver is already installed, dist-upgrade after adding the -proposed
+ repository.
+
+ 3) Restart and see if the system boots correctly. If unsure, please
+ attach your /var/log/gpu-manager.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low, the packages include the very same patch that we have used in Xenial
since its release.
