Bug description:
nvidia-graphics-drivers-460
[Impact]
* To aid installer testing of the correct kernels with/without
nvidia, it would be helpful to test nvidia driver installation in qemu
VMs without actually needing nvidia hardware.
* We already have `Modaliases: meta(dmi:*:pnUBUNTUQEMUTEST:*)` to
test installs with oem-qemu-meta (aka certified install)
* It would be useful to add nvidia modalias of
`dmi:*:pvrUBUNTUNVIDIATEST:*` to nvidia-graphics-drivers-460
* This way we will be able to test generic with/without nvidia; and
oem with/without nvidia. By combinding pn & pvr dmi modaliases.
[Test Case]
* Setup ubuntu qemu libvirt vm with dmi sysinfo setting product version to
UBUNTUNVIDIATEST
I.e.
<sysinfo type="smbios">
<system>
<entry name="version">UBUNTUNVIDIATEST</entry>
</system>
</sysinfo>
<os>
...
<smbios mode="sysinfo"/>
</os>
* Boot and execute ubuntu-drivers list
* Observe that nvidia drivers show up as options.
[Where problems could occur]
* Additional mod alias will be exposed in the package metadata, and
whilst it will be installed it will not be loaded. It is purely an
installer test interface.
