Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected, Accepted nvidia-prime into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia- prime/0.8.16~0.18.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-bionic.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1915003] Re: SRU: Always update the initramfs when changing power profile
Ok, I have accepted all the packages into -proposed pockets besides nvidia-prime for bionic. There seems to be an old unverified nvidia- prime/u-d-c SRU in bionic-proposed that needs to be handled first. Can someone take a look at LP: #1904583? Another thing: since this is a whole backport of the prime-settings, I'd like some more aging and manual exploratory testing of this before we proceed. Final thing, regarding the nvidia-prime part: looking at the diff I saw this change bundled in it: @@ -152,10 +154,10 @@ # (No need to check if nvidia is available) self._enable_nvidia() elif profile == "on-demand": -self._disable_nvidia(keep_nvidia_modules=True) if self._supports_runtimepm(): self._enable_runtimepm() self._enable_kms() +self._disable_nvidia(keep_nvidia_modules=True) else: # Make sure that the installed packages support PRIME #if not self._supports_prime(): I only noticed it after already accepting groovy. Just wanted to make sure: is this related to the initramfs update? Was it needed? Is this change expected?
