** Description changed:
- Provide an additional parameter to install gpgpu driver packages. In
- this first implementation, only the NVIDIA driver packages are
- supported.
+ SRU Request:
+
+ [Impact]
+ We need the ubuntu-drivers tool to be able to install gpgpu driver
meta-packages (without pulling in the kernel modules).
+
+ An additional "--gpgpu" parameter, paired with the "install" parameter
+ will provide this feature.
+
+ Note: in this first implementation - already available in Ubuntu 19.04 -
+ only the NVIDIA driver packages are supported.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new ubuntu-drivers-common
(340.107-0ubuntu0.16.04.2).
+
+ 2) Make sure to have compatible NVIDIA hardware
+
+ 3) Install the gpgpu driver:
+ ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu
+
+ 4) Make sure that the new driver is installed.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low. The changes do not affect the currently supported features.
