Can someone tell me how to know when this fix hits the normal updates? Or how long this normally takes? I don't want to mess with editing files if I can help it, or attempting to not mess up my system by trying to include proposed.

Failing to do so, causes the ubuntu-drivers tool to crash (LP: #1993019), or to prefer the -open drivers over the non-open ones (LP: #1988836). * Furthermore, calling the ubuntu-drivers tool where the alsa-utils package is not installed (mainly on servers), ubuntu-drivers (through the sl-modem plugin) complains, unnecessarily about the missing aplay binary. [ Test Plan ] * Install the new ubuntu-drivers-common from -proposed on a system where the GPU is compatible with the 515 series (or higher). * Run the ubuntu-drivers list command, and make sure that the 515 driver series (or higher) is listed. * Try installing the driver using the following command: sudo ubuntu-drivers install * Check which driver series was installed (you can use the "sudo ubuntu-drivers debug" command), and make sure that the installation does not cause ubuntu-drivers to crash. [ Where problems could occur ] * A problem in the ubuntu-drivers tool can cause it to install a driver which is not recommended for the detected hardware, or even cause the package installation to fail, and prevent users from logging in through the graphics interface. [ Other Info ] * To prevent failures of the test-suite on architectures such as armhf (as seen in Lunar), we are skipping the tests for any architectures other than amd64 and arm64 (which are the only ones actually using ubuntu-drivers). This was already the case with riscv, and we now have an easier way to do so in the debian/rules file. == Changelogs == === Kinetic and Jammy === [ Alberto Milone ] * New upstream release: * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: - Make sure all -open drivers have a lower priority, regardless of whether the --server parameter is passed in or not. - Update regex in nvidia_desktop_pre_installation_hook. This prevents ubuntu-drivers from crashing when dealing with the -open NVIDIA drivers (LP: #1993019). * tests/test_ubuntu_drivers.py: - Add tests so we make sure to keep preferring non-open NVIDIA modules over the -open ones, at least until the open modules catch up feature wise and performance wise. [ gongzhengyang ] * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: - Fix local variable 'version' being referenced before assignment when catching ValueError (LP: #1993019). [ Jeff Lane ] * detect-plugins/sl-modem.py: - Add some error trapping when aplay is not installed (on servers). === Jammy only (left over from 1:0.9.6.2~0.22.04.1) === * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: - Make sure -open drivers have a lower priority (LP: #1988836). == Changelogs == === Kinetic and Jammy === [ Alberto Milone ] * debian/rules: - Limit the tests to the selected architectures (amd64, arm64). This prevents armhf builds from failing. * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: - Make sure all -open drivers have a lower priority, regardless of whether the --server parameter is passed in or not. - Update regex and unify package name parsing in the following functions by using the new NvidiaPkgNameInfo class: nvidia_desktop_pre_installation_hook, _get_headless_no_dkms_metapackage, nvidia_desktop_pre_installation_hook, get_linux_modules_metapackage, This prevents ubuntu-drivers from crashing when dealing with the -open NVIDIA drivers (LP: #1993019). * tests/test_ubuntu_drivers.py: - Add tests so we make sure to keep preferring non-open NVIDIA modules over the -open ones, at least until the open modules catch up feature wise and performance wise.
