** Description changed: SRU Request: + + [Impact] + + The ubuntu drivers tool requires support for the new NVIDIA -server + series (introduced by LP: #1881137) + + As already made possible when passing in the "--gpgpu" to the "install" + argument, ubuntu drivers should be consistent and allow specifying a + driver series regardless of whether the --gpgpu argument is used or not. + The new parser code takes care of this. [Test Case] 1) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new ubuntu-drivers- common (0.8.4~0.20.04.1). 2) Check that specifying an NVIDIA driver flavour works (e.g. "ubuntu- drivers install nvidia:440", if your card is supported by the driver) 3) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when accessing the desktop. 4) Remove all the nvidia drivers: sudo apt-get --purge remove '*nvidia*' 5) Test the auto-detection: ubuntu-drivers install 6) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when accessing the desktop. 7) Check that the correct driver was installed for your card: ubuntu-drivers debug [Regression Potential] Medium-Low. The new code should not affect the current functioning of the ubuntu-drivers tool. - - __________ - Add support for the new NVIDIA -server series to the ubuntu-drivers tool. - - Also add support for specifying a driver series (as already possible - with the --gpgpu argument, for computing use cases).
