** Description changed: - TODO: + As we introduced the "-server" NVIDIA drivers, and the concept of "LTSB" + (Long Term Support Branch) and "NFB" (New Feature Branch) releases, the + detection logic behind ubuntu-drivers needs an update to make the + correct choices for the user. - ubuntu-drivers should prefer LTSB releases. + The introduction of the NVIDIA 450 series, also added runtime power + management, which greatly improves user experience on systems with + hybrid graphics, and allows greater power savings. When supported, on- + demand mode and runtime power management are the default. Both gpu- + manager and ubuntu-drivers in ubuntu drivers common, and the tools in + the nvidia-prime package need updating as a result. - Unify udev rules for runtime PM in the NVIDIA driver packages. + + Only the components in Ubuntu 20.10 require a fairly small diff for the backport. The rest is a direct sync of the 1:0.8.6.3 release in 21.04. + + == Ubuntu 20.10 == + + ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.6.3~0.20.10.1) groovy; urgency=medium + + * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py, + tests/test_ubuntu_drivers.py: + - Prefer LTSB releases over NFB ones for non gpgpu cases too. + * gpu-manager.c: + - Make it possible to force runtimepm by creating the + /etc/u-d-c-nvidia-runtimepm-override file. + - Make on-demand default on nvidia >= 450, when no + previous settings are available. + + nvidia-prime (0.8.15.1~0.20.10.1) groovy; urgency=medium + + [ Anthony Fok ] + * Remove obsolete udev rules during `postrm upgrade` too + + + == Ubuntu 20.04 == + + ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.6.3~0.20.04.1) focal; urgency=medium + + * Backport 1:0.8.6.3 (LP: #1904583). + + + nvidia-prime (0.8.15.1~0.20.04.1) focal; urgency=medium + + [ Alberto Milone ] + * prime-select: + - Enable runtimepm in on-demand mode if supported (LP: #1895855). + - Disable workaround for on-demand mode. + - Enable KMS if runtimepm is supported. + + [ Anthony Fok ] + * Remove obsolete udev rules during `postrm upgrade` too + + [ Kai-Heng Feng ] + * prime-select: Remove udev rules + + + == Ubuntu 18.04 == + + ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.6.3~0.18.04.2) bionic; urgency=medium + + * Backport 1:0.8.6.3 (LP: #1904583). + * gpu-manager.c: add missing PCI_CAP_ID_NULL definition + + + nvidia-prime (0.8.15.1~0.18.04.1) bionic; urgency=medium + + * Backport 0.8.15.1 (LP: #1904583).
