Adding a Jammy/Kepler datapoint related to the recent EOL transitional change.
On Linux Mint 21.3 / Ubuntu Jammy base with a GTX 760, the normal `nvidia-driver-470` package path now resolves toward the 535 branch: ```text id="5obtdr" nvidia-dkms-470 : Depends: nvidia-dkms-535 nvidia-driver-470 : Depends: nvidia-driver-535 but it is not installable nvidia-kernel-common-470 : Depends: nvidia-kernel-common-535 but it is not installable nvidia-utils-470 : Depends: nvidia-utils-535 but it is not installable xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-470 : Depends: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-535 but it is not installable ``` This is a problem for Kepler users because 535 is not a usable replacement driver for this hardware. The NVIDIA driver message says this GPU is supported through the 470.xx legacy drivers and that 535 will ignore the GPU. The system was recovered by blocking 535 and installing the current Jammy `470-server` packages: ```text id="pgq8dz" Kernel driver in use: nvidia driver: nvidia v: 470.256.02 X loaded: nvidia OpenGL renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 nvidia-driver-470-server Installed: 470.256.02-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 ``` Related newer regression bug: bug #2155202 Jammy/Mint-specific report: bug #2155424 The main concern is that transitioning 470 to 535 does not provide a working migration path for Kepler GPUs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2110338 Title: Nvidia 470/470-server fails to build on kernel 6.17 HWE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470/+bug/2110338/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
