ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.17.2) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium
[ Alberto Milone ]
* gpu-manager.c:
- Fix memory leak in get_alternatives(). Make sure to always free
alternatives->current_core and alternatives->current_egl.
- Partially drop the drm code, and get information about connectors
from sysf. This fixes a long standing performance issue (LP: #1586933).
- Disable persistence mode before powering down the dGPU.
If persistence mode is not disabled, gpu-manager will not be able to
unload the nvidia module (LP: #1619306).
- Make sure to load and unload nvidia-drm. This fixes a problem that
prevents the dGPU from being powered off in hybrid systems with
recent nvidia drivers (LP: #1619306).
[ Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu) ]
* Quirks/quirkinfo.py:
- Catch and ignore UnicodeDecodeErrors in dmi info, as some machines
may report board_name as 0a to mean empty, and this
causes an error in python 3 (LP: #1320868).
