** Description changed: [Impact] These releases provide both bug fixes and new features, and we would like to make sure all of our users have access to these improvements. See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs. [Test Case] The following development and SRU process was followed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NVidiaUpdates Certification test suite must pass on a range of hardware: https://git.launchpad.net/plainbox-provider-sru/tree/units/sru.pxu The QA team that executed the tests will be in charge of attaching the artifacts and console output of the appropriate run to the bug. nVidia maintainers team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until this has happened. [Regression Potential] In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the aforementioned system level tests are attached to this bug. [Discussion] 440.36: + * New upstream release: + - Added support for the following GPUs: + o GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER + o GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER + - Fixed graphical corruption that can occur when using glslang + SPIR-V Generator Version <= 2. + - Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when running + applications using GLX indirect rendering. + - Updated the Module.symvers sanity check, which is part of the + NVIDIA kernel module build process, to accommodate the recent + addition of a new field in the Module.symvers file format. + This fixes the error "The Module.symvers file is missing [...]" + seen during driver installation or DKMS rebuilds with Linux 5.4 RC + kernels. + - Fixed kernel module build problems with Linux kernel 5.4.0 release + candidates. + - Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect information about X server + crashes from coredumpctl, when available. + - Updated the nvidia-drm kernel module for compatibility with the + removal of the DRIVER_PRIME flag in recent Linux kernel versions. + - Enabled parallel GLSL shader linking by default; i.e., allow + GL_ARB_parallel_shader_compile to work without first calling + glMaxShaderCompilerThreadsARB(). + - Added support for HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate (VRR) G-SYNC + Compatible monitors on supported GPUs.For more details, see + "Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen" in the README. + Added support for the GLX_NV_multigpu_context and GL_NV_gpu_multicast + extensions.For more details, see the "Configuring SLI and Multi-GPU + FrameRendering" chapter of the README, and the extension specifications: + https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/GLX_NV_multigpu_context.txt + https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/NV_gpu_multicast.txt + - Fixed a bug that prevented Vulkan applications running on systems + configured for SLI. Vulkan applications can now run while SLI is enabled; + however, they will only be able to use a single GPU. + - Simplified the nvidia-sleep.sh sample script to no longer depend on + unreliable detection of the current VT through X server logs. + - Added EGL support for PRIME render offload. Please see the PRIME Render + Offload chapter in the README for configuration details. + - Fixed a regression introduced in 435.19.02 that would cause some applications + which use the VK_KHR_DISPLAY extension to result in a segmentation fault. + - Enabled HardDPMS by default. See the README entry on the X configuration + option "HardDPMS" for more information. + - Fixed a bug which caused corruption in the following DXVK titles: + Saints Row IV + Saints Row: The Third + - Added VP9 decode support to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver. See the VDPAU Support + appendix in the README for supported VP9 decoder profiles. + - Fixed a bug that could cause heapUsage values reported by + VK_EXT_memory_budget to not immediately update after vkFreeMemory was + called. + - Changed GPU clock management strategy to more quickly ramp down clocks + after a drop in GPU utilization. + - Added X configuration option, "SidebandSocketPath", which controls the + directory in which the X driver will create a pathname UNIX domain socket + used to communicate with the NVIDIA OpenGL, Vulkan and VDPAU driver + components. + - The X driver will now create a fallback pathname UNIX domain socket in + the directory specified by the "SidebandSocketPath" option, or /var/run + by default, which will be used by other NVIDIA driver components if they + are unable to connect to the default abstract socket.This fixes a bug + where graphics applications run within a network namespace (which prevents + the use of abstract sockets) were unable to take advantage of some driver + features, such as G-Sync. + - Fall back to system memory when video memory is full for some + driver-internal allocations. This can help fix Xid 13 and Xid 31 cases in + Vulkan applications when video memory is full. + - Fixed a bug that could cause a blank screen on some DisplayPort monitors + when logging in to GNOME, if the nvidia-drm kernel module parameter + modeset=1 is specified. + - Fixed a bug that prevented NVIDIA GPUs from entering the low-power D3 + state when entering suspend-to-idle (s2idle). Note that on some systems + this may expose an existing timing issue in the Linux kernel; see the + "Known Issues and Workarounds" section of the "Configuring Power + Management Support" chapter of the README for more details. + + 340.108: * New upstream release: - - Added support for the following GPUs: - o GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER - o GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER - - Fixed graphical corruption that can occur when using glslang - SPIR-V Generator Version <= 2. - - Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when running - applications using GLX indirect rendering. - - Updated the Module.symvers sanity check, which is part of the - NVIDIA kernel module build process, to accommodate the recent - addition of a new field in the Module.symvers file format. - This fixes the error "The Module.symvers file is missing [...]" - seen during driver installation or DKMS rebuilds with Linux 5.4 RC - kernels. - - Fixed kernel module build problems with Linux kernel 5.4.0 release - candidates. - - Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect information about X server - crashes from coredumpctl, when available. - Updated the nvidia-drm kernel module for compatibility with the - removal of the DRIVER_PRIME flag in recent Linux kernel versions. - - Enabled parallel GLSL shader linking by default; i.e., allow - GL_ARB_parallel_shader_compile to work without first calling - glMaxShaderCompilerThreadsARB(). - - Added support for HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate (VRR) G-SYNC - Compatible monitors on supported GPUs.For more details, see - "Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen" in the README. - Added support for the GLX_NV_multigpu_context and GL_NV_gpu_multicast - extensions.For more details, see the "Configuring SLI and Multi-GPU - FrameRendering" chapter of the README, and the extension specifications: - https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/GLX_NV_multigpu_context.txt - https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/NV_gpu_multicast.txt - - Fixed a bug that prevented Vulkan applications running on systems - configured for SLI.
