Tested on AWS instance with 6.8.0-1024-aws installed and ubuntu-drivers- common = 1:0.9.7.6ubuntu3.2 installed from noble-proposed
test 1 for gaming driver sorting: 1) ubuntu-drivers list 2) observe the output: nvidia-driver-550, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-aws) nvidia-driver-535, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-aws) nvidia-driver-470, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-aws) nvidia-driver-535-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-server-aws) nvidia-driver-470-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-server-aws) nvidia-driver-570-server-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-server-open-aws) nvidia-driver-550-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-open-aws) nvidia-driver-535-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-open-aws) nvidia-driver-570-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-server-aws) nvidia-driver-535-server-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-server-open-aws) 550 drivers are the latest for gaming on noble and are the first, followed by 535 and legacy 470. -server drivers are below. Both 550 and 535 prefere non-open drivers to be installed so they are below. Test 2 got GPGPU drivers: 1) ubuntu-drivers list --gpgpu 2) observer the output: nvidia-driver-570-server-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-server-open-aws) nvidia-driver-535-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-server-aws) nvidia-driver-470-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-server-aws) nvidia-driver-570-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-server-aws) nvidia-driver-550, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-aws) nvidia-driver-535, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-aws) nvidia-driver-470, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-aws) nvidia-driver-535-server-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-server-open-aws) nvidia-driver-550-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-open-aws) nvidia-driver-535-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-open-aws) 570-server are the latest released drivers and they are fist. Plus 570 prefers -open variant to be installed over non-open to it is first. Then 535-server follows and legacy 470-server.

It is not obvious which driver is the recommended one. The driver that is recommended can be obtained by calling ubuntu-drivers list --recommended. [ Impact ] User has no easy way of knowing which driver to select from an unsorted list. [ Steps to reproduce ] 1. Call 'ubuntu-drivers list' multiple times 2. observe the list that is returned. I will vary between calls [ Test plan ] 1. Install ubuntu-drivers on a machine with a modern NVIDIA card 2. Call 'ubuntu-drivers list' multiple tines [ Expected result ] The output list should be consistently sorted between calls To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/2081970/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
