I'd like it to land in Universe, if possible. + It looks like an entire version backport, but it is made like this because this version is simply an aggregation of patches that were originally made for Resolute. - [ 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 + [ 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. + [ 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. - + * 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.
