** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Installing systems with nvidia graphics card, and opting to use it, + does not end up setting it up in the installed system + + [Test Case] + + * Install on a system with nvidia graphics card + * Opt to use 3rd party & proprietary drivers + * Observe that nvidia dkms modules are installed in the target system + + [Regression Potential] + + * Installation of 3rd party drivers was not attempted before, and thus may now fail, however that is non-default codepath (opt-in). + * there are updates to flash-kernel & shim-signed which may regress that functionality under ubiquity, but shouldn't (see changelogs for those package updates) + + [Other Info] + + * original bug report: + On a system with hardware requiring proprietary drivers (eg nVidia graphics card), when the user selects to install restricted add-ons and proprietary drivers, ubuntu-drivers runs immediately when the installer exits the prepare step. Doing so it installs the drivers on the live session. However this step is not executed in the target filesystem afterward, once its ready. Therefore, after installation, the proprietary drivers are not installed on the system. The installation of proprietary drivers must happen in the live session, for network drivers for example, and in the target system for all the drivers supported by the system.
