An additional "--gpgpu" parameter, paired with the "install" parameter will provide this feature. Note: in this first implementation - already available in Ubuntu 19.04 - only the NVIDIA driver packages are supported. [Test Case] 1) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new ubuntu-drivers-common (340.107-0ubuntu0.16.04.2). 2) Make sure to have compatible NVIDIA hardware 3) Install the gpgpu driver: ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu 4) Make sure that the new driver is installed. [Test Case - desktop regression test] 1) On a machine which has nvidia GPU hardware and has not had the gpgpu enabled as above, enable the -proposed repository and install the new ubuntu-drivers-common (340.107-0ubuntu0.16.04.2). 2) Run "Software & Updates" (software-properties-gtk) 3) Switch to the Additional Drivers tab 4) Confirm that information is display detailing the nvidia graphics drivers being available 5) Install the drivers from the UI by selecting the correct radio button and clicking Apply 6) After install has finished, reboot the system and check the drivers are loaded by opening Software & Updates again. [Regression Potential] Low. The changes do not affect the currently supported features.
