In the meantime, NVIDIA usually notify OEM/ODM/Canonical (under NDA) to use a specific nvidia version to development/production. NVIDIA and OEN/ODM will announce the next generation combination at the same time usually when the factory ready to ship the product. We made Ubuntu as a leading distribution supports many cutting edge devices, it's time to have an official way to make the nvidia installation consistent in unannounced (yet) nvidia devices to support OEM/ODM factory shipment for our growing counterparts. [ Test Plan ] * Steps to make sure it works: 1. pick a cutting edge nvidia graphic. 2. remove nv-525 from the pool. 3. check the nv support status: ``` $ ubuntu-drivers list oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom oem-somerville-cinccino-meta ``` 4. modify custom file ``` $ cat /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json { "chips": [ { "devid": "0x24BA", "name": "TEST 24BA", "branch": "580.1234", "features": [ "runtimepm" ] }, { "devid": "0x25BC", "name": "TEST 25BC", "branch": "510", "features": [ "runtimepm" ] } ] } ``` 5. make sure the hook works ``` $ ubuntu-drivers list nvidia-driver-510, (kernel modules provided by nvidia-dkms-510) oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom oem-somerville-cinccino-meta [ Where problems could occur ] * This feature only impact target system has a custom file "/etc/custom_supported_gpus.json". And it won't generate automatically which should not impact normal users [ Other Info ] * the patches are picked from - https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers-common/commit/ec675fba22c68932da9fae95e0f4f2fd10732bf3 - https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers-common/commit/4776c6b9f78411ef3b269a28e9546e4ffd2b7115 - https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers-common/commit/83528313da84b55c04daa62b5edcbf823e5c067b. * Discussion is in https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers-common/pull/71 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1990341/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
