** Description changed: - A new release that is worth uploading. + This update is a bit peculiar, because it's now compatible with Universe + whereas it was in Multiverse before. I'd like it to land in Universe, if + possible. + + [ Andreas Glinserer ] + * Extend gb300ws meta to include the ubuntu pro activation script + * Extend gb300ws meta to include cuda environment package for correct CUDA + device detection + * Fix issue in ubuntu-pro-activation resulting in failed exit code + + [ Antoine Lassagne ] + * Fix cuda device detection on GB300ws + * Install hwe-dgx-gb300ws-meta automatically on GB300ws with ubuntu-drivers + * Remove the realtek driver selection since the latest linux-nvidia fixed the + conflicts it had with r8169. + + The MP view looks horrible because git-ubuntu finds conflicts; that's + probably due to the native nature of this package. + + I've also uploaded the candidates in a PPA here: + https://launchpad.net/~antoinelassagne/+archive/ubuntu/dgx-desktop-defaults-2154367 + + [ Impact ] + + * The changes mostly allow the enablement of "DGX GB300ws" & family, which are all + OEM versions of the same chip + * It allows the Station-dedicated metapackage to install automatically + on the target machines with ubuntu-drivers + * It fixes an issue on the ubuntu-pro-activation script for both Spark and GB300ws + * It removes a Spark-dedicated hacky realtek driver selection that is not necessary + and dangerous to keep. The hack was necessary because earlier version of + linux-nvidia required to blacklist the r8169 module because their r8127 and r8169 + were claiming the same PCI IDs. It's not the case anymore and these older -nvidia + kernels are not in the archive anymore. linux-nvidia-6.17 version 1016 was the + last version with the issue, version 1017 fixed it. + + [ Test Plan ] + + * Since these package are Spark / GB300 ws specific, it needs to be tested on + these devices. + + * The CUDA device detection part of GB300ws can be tested by running + ``` + nvidia-smi -i "$CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES" --query-gpu=name --format=csv,noheader + ``` + It should report the GB300 GPU, not whatever dGPU is in the machine. + + * The changes in the pro activation script can be tested by provisioning a + Spark device and making sure that pro is enabled automatically, since all + Sparks have pro tokens burnt in an UEFI variable. + + * The modalias detection can be tested by running ubuntu-drivers on a + compatible machine with the new package available in some PPA. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * The pro activation could stop working, but the test makes sure it + won't + + * Any GB300ws-related update can't really cause problems since these + are not public yet. Still the test plan make sure that we test every + new feature. + + * The modalias could match against too many devices if setup not properly. + We assume that no other machine will match GB300Station in their product_name. + + [ Other Info ] + + * I backported the version from Stonking entirely, which is not common for a SRU. + But all these changes were made for resolute in the first place, so the alternative + would have been to backport every patch one by one. I thought this way was better + but I'm open to suggestion + + * This package is already QA'd by both our QA team and NVIDIA, since we ship it on the + OEM archive for noble.
