Hello jeremyszu, or anyone else affected, Accepted ubuntu-drivers-common into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers- common/1:0.9.0~0.20.04.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1943816 Title: "ubuntu-drivers install" needs to be used when installing nvidia- driver if enabling "third-party packages" Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in subiquity: New Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubiquity source package in Focal: New Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: ubiquity calls ``` ubuntu-drivers install $FREEONLY $NOOEM --package-list /run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall ``` to generate package list during live system but "ubuntu-drivers install" not only install packages but also create some config files for switching nvidia mode (e.g. on-demand) and change the runtime config as well (e.g. modify the iniramfs). Thus, not only package list needs to be referred but also the configuration. --- In ubuntu-drivers-common, which read the "/run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall" to install package. It also skipping the nvidia-mode changing (made by ubuntu-drivers install). ``` $ cat ubiquity/target-config/31ubuntu_driver_packages #!/bin/sh set -e # install all packages that "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" installed into the # live system. Ubiquity calls this with --package-list /run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall PKGLIST=/run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall [ -e $PKGLIST ] || exit 0 for p in `cat $PKGLIST`; do apt-install $p done ``` --- We need to use a same approach to make sure the nvidia mode is same on a same system (either all handing by ubuntu-drivers install or change the logic to maintainer script in each package). --- [Impact] * According to Nvidia README, the RTD3 (Runtime D3) doesn't support on non-laptop machine * Install Ubuntu with "third-party packages" enabled, will not get same GPU configuration by running "ubuntu-drivers install" * Patch make system not enable RTD3 unless it's a laptop and set default GPU mode to "on-demand" [Test Plan] * Create Focal iso with live-build and import ubuntu-drivers-common from -proposed * Install Ubuntu on machine, in "Updates and other software" page select "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats" * On laptop with Nvidia RTD3 supported GPU. The configuration file '/run/nvidia_runtimepm_supported' will be created. * Call "prime-select query" to make sure the default mode is "on-demand" [Where problems could occur] * With non-laptop machine use RTD3 supported GPU may use more power [Other Info] * For RTD3 (Runtime D3) doesn't support on non-laptop machine, refer to https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1942788 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1943816/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
