Public bug reported: ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu should use a DKMS fallback when no linux- modules-nvidia package is available.
Currently, we do not deal with this kind of failure i.e. when no linux- modules-nvidia package is available for the kernel in use. If no such package can be found, we need to at least attempt installing the relevant DKMS package, so that users get the required kernel modules. ** Affects: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1843796 Title: ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu should use a DKMS fallback when no linux-modules-nvidia package is available Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu should use a DKMS fallback when no linux-modules-nvidia package is available.
