** 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] [Changelog] - == 470 == + == 470 (focal only) == + + nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (470.86-0ubuntu0.20.04.2) focal; + urgency=medium + + * debian/{nvidia_supported|pm-aliases-gen}: + - Drop the following IDs in favour of the 495 series (LP: #1954818): + 1fbc, 249c, 249d, 24b6, 24b7, 24b8, + 25a0, 25b8. + + + == 495 (bionic, focal, hirsute, impish) == + + nvidia-graphics-drivers-495 (495.46-0ubuntu*) + + * debian/additional_card_ids, + debian/additional_runtimepm_ids: + - Add the following IDs: + 1FBC 249C 249D 24B6 24B7 24B8 25A0 25B8 + * New upstream release (LP: #1954818): + - Added support for the GBM API. This adds the new symlink + nvidia-drm_gbm.so pointing to the file libnvidia- + allocator.so.VERSION to implement a GBM backend driver usable + with the GBM loader from the Mesa project version 21.2 and + above, as well as the files libnvidia-egl-gbm.so.1.1.0 and + 15_nvidia_gbm.json, which implement EGL support for the GBM + platform (EGL_KHR_platform_gbm). + - Add indicator for Resizable BAR support on compatible systems. + - Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when + starting a new server generation on PRIME configurations. + - Removed support for NvIFROpenGL. This functionality was + deprecated in the 470.xx driver release. + - Removed libnvidia-cbl.so from the driver package. This + functionality is now provided by other driver libraries. + - Changed the minimum required Linux kernel version from 2.6.32 + to 3.10. + - Updated nvidia.ko to load even if no supported NVIDIA GPUs are + present when an NVIDIA NVSwitch device is detected in the + system. Previously, nvidia.ko would fail to load into the + kernel if no supported GPUs were present. + - Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver where unused input attributes + to a vertex shader would corrupt the interpolation qualifiers + for the shader. + - Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver where individual components of + barycentric inputs could not be read. + - Added support for the VK_KHR_present_id extension. + - Added support for the VK_KHR_present_wait extension. + - Added support for the + VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_uniform_control_flow extension. + - Fixed a bug where VK_NVX_binary_import was advertised as + supported on unsupported platforms. This caused calls to + vkCreateDevice to fail if applications attempted to enable + VK_NVX_binary_import on such platforms. + - Added a new command line option, "--no-peermem", to nvidia- + installer. Selecting this option prevents the installation of + the nvidia-peermem kernel module. + - Fixed a regression which prevented DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1 + variable refresh rate (VRR) G-SYNC Compatible monitors from + functioning correctly in variable refresh rate mode, resulting + in issues such as flickering. + - Fixed a bug that can cause a kernel crash in SLI Mosaic + configurations. + - Added support for the EGL_NV_robustness_video_memory_purge + extension.
