This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.9.3
---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.9.3) jammy; urgency=medium
* UbuntuDrivers/detect.py,
ubuntu-drivers:
- Provide helper functions for NVIDIA on the desktop:
o get_desktop_package_list()
o nvidia_desktop_pre_installation_hook()
o nvidia_desktop_post_installation_hook()
The new functions, which are now used by ubuntu-drivers
(only for the desktop i.e. "ubuntu-drivers install"),
allow reusing the hardware detection and the customisations
from ubuntu-drivers in other applications such as the
Software Properties UIsi (LP: #1942208).
- Add the "--recommended" option to the "list" command
(LP: #1952147).
This allows to show only the packages that will be
installed using auto-detection i.e. one specific
driver and its kernel module, instead of all the
compatible drivers.
This works with and without --gpgpu, yielding different
results.
