** Description changed: 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. + + [Test Case - desktop regression test] + 1) On a machine which has not had the gpgpu enabled as above, enabl the -proposed repository and install the new ubuntu-drivers-common (340.107-0ubuntu0.16.04.2). + 2) Run "Software & Updates" (software-properties-gtk) + 3) Switch to the Additional Drivers tab + 4) Confirm that information is display detailing the nvidia graphics drivers being available + 5) Install the drivers from the UI by selecting the correct radio button and clicking Apply + 6) After install has finished, reboot the system and check the drivers are loaded by opening Software & Updates again. + + [Regression Potential] Low. The changes do not affect the currently supported features.
