Bug description:
SRU Request:
[Impact]
Deferred module build was a feature that worked with Upstart and that was
never updated to work with systemd.
[Test Case]
1) Enter the following command to create the temporary file:
sudo touch /tmp/do_not_build_dkms_module
2) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new "nvidia-384"
3) Check that DKMS didn't build the module (the "dkms status" will
give you a clue).
3) Restart your computer and see if the module is built correctly (you
should be able to access the desktop session). Check that the module
is there with the "dkms status" command.
[Regression Potential]
Low, as, currently, the feature doesn't work at all with systemd.
_____________
The nvidia-graphics-drivers
(https://github.com/tseliot/nvidia-graphics-drivers/tree/375-xenial) deferred
DKMS feature does not work in xenial.
With upstart, doing a touch of the /tmp/do_not_build_dkms_module file
indicates to defer building the kernel modules, then install the
nvidia driver packages, which creates an upstart script to build the
modules later. Upon reboot the upstart script would then do the DKMS
build.
This no longer works in xenial. The code was never updated for the
transition from upstart to systemd.
