[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1930937] Re: SRU: Default dependency resolution in Focal pulls in full GNOME Desktop

2021-06-29 Thread Daniel Dadap
Tested in a clean focal chroot. The dependency resolution works as expected, allowing the package to be installed without pulling in all of GNOME, but only if the "universe" repository component is enabled. If I have only "main" enabled, then dependency resolution fails with the following: # apt

Public bug reported: In newer Ubuntu 18.04 HWE kernels, it is possible for GPU HDA controllers to be dynamically runtime-suspended if the HDA's power/control mode is set to "auto". However, pm-utils explicitly sets this to "on" when resuming, which prevents runtime power management of these

It's unlikely to be due a change in the NVIDIA driver, since we (NVIDIA) have not yet identified a root cause for the touchpad freeze. As this problem is highly sporadic, and can take several hours in some cases to reproduce, if it reproduces at all, we should probably wait for more confirmations

Moving this bug from nvidia-prime to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331, since the fix goes in the NVIDIA driver, and not nvidia-prime. FWIW, the attached patch has been formatted for use with the NVIDIA .run installer's --apply-patch option, but it should be usable for DKMS, since DKMS uses patchlevel

Sorry, I don't have any ideas. I don't think we've seen anything like this either; we'd probably need a machine that uses the same touchpad or touchpad driver. If the Nouveau driver also supports the RandR 1.4 provider source capability, it might be an interesting experiment to configure PRIME

If it's true that similar issues show up in Nouveau, and on AMD boards (radeon? fglrx?), then it probably makes the most sense to track down the regression better first. There's still a chance that there could be bugs in all of the affected drivers that are causing this, but it would be great if
