@Robie: 1) "Do not print an error when linux-modules cannot be found" This prevents the ubuntu-drivers tools from being misleading, hoping that people won't file bug reports such as LP: #1882402
2) "Rework the argument parser." - This is a feature that was requested by the Foundations team. It makes the "install" behave consistently with or without "--gpgpu" parameter is used (i.e. you can pass in the driver that you need, as an option). For example "ubuntu-drivers install" did not accept any extra arguments, whereas "ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu" (e.g. ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu nvidia) did. Now both do. I am fine having one more bug report about it, but I'd rather not have to follow many bug reports for the same SRU, if possible. 3) "Add support for the new -server NVIDIA drivers" - it's LP: #1881586 -- 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/1880564 Title: ubuntu-drivers-common now pulls in build tools on end-user systems Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Focal: Triaged Bug description: SRU Request: [Test Case] 1) Uninstall the dpkg-dev package. 2) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new ubuntu- drivers-common (0.8.4~0.20.04.1). 3) Check that the dpkg-dev package was not installed. 3) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when accessing the desktop. [Regression Potential] Low. The new get_system_architecture() function is very small, and replaces dpkg-architecture for our use-case. _______ In bug 1875339, a depends on dpkg-dev was added. This is pulling in all of build-essential on upgrades (or just binutils and make and patch if you pass --no-install-recommends). This needs to be reverted and fixed differently.
