@xnox,

I guess what you're talking about is related this commit.
https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers-
common/commit/f24220e1565610ade7da723adfcf7a25d2adefcb

As I understand that, ubuntu-drivers auto installs linux-modules-
nvidia-* package if available together nvidia driver package. So the
nvidia driver can work with secureboot. If so, ubuntu-drivers is not
auto-sign building nvidia driver.

However, there is no package for linux-modules-nvidia-* related to
nvidia-340 driver in repository. In other words, nvidia-340 driver
installed from official repository will not work with secureboot.

If there is wrong in my writing, can you correct it?

  Hi developers,

  thanks for your great work on porting legacy drivers to Ubuntu.

  Anyway I have to complain in not seeing Nvidia 340.108 driver for
  kernels 5.5 and 5.6 yet, leaving users stuck on kernel 5.4,
  because Nvidia 340.108 fails to install with kernels 5.5 and 5.6.

  Archlinux already has a driver for Kernel 5.6 via AUR
  (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-340xx/) and Debian SID has
  one for kernel 5.5.

  So, the question is: when will we see a new version in repositories?

  Bye and have a nice day.
