Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected, Accepted ubuntu-drivers-common into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /ubuntu-drivers-common/1:0.5.2.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic -- 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: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU Request: [Impact] * Calling "ubuntu-drivers install" does not install the kernel modules when passed the "--gpgpu" argument. While matching linux-modules-nvidia packages for the running kernel should be the default choice, we should fall back to the DKMS package when they are not available. The cha [Test Case] * Remove any currently installed nvidia drivers: sudo apt-get --purge remove '*nvidia*' * Call the ubuntu drivers tool: sudo ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu * Restart your computer, and run the nvidia-smi package: sudo nvidia-smi * Check that the output shows the NVIDIA GPU (this is a sign that the kernel module was loaded, and is running properly). [Regression Potential] * Low. Currently, users relying on the --gpgpu parameter have no NVIDIA kernel modules, which prevents them from actually using the NVIDIA GPU. ________________________ 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.
