Ideally, when performing a release upgrade, we would have a mechanism in place which does hardware detection, and sees if there is a new driver series that might work for your GPU. Unfortunately, we have no such thing, and we rely on transitional packages, only when it is safe to do so.
In this case, the 418 series doesn't cover the same GPU series as the 390 legacy driver, and upgrading users blindly would lead to some users being migrated to a driver series which doesn't support their GPU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1823758 Title: Release upgrade didn't update nvidia driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-418/+bug/1823758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
