Retested with the latest kernels as of Sept 7, 2021. Now able to see that ubuntu-drivers now lists the 470-server driver as an available option. For both Focal and Hirsute, I first had to enable -proposed. For Bionic, it worked with the 4.15.0-156.163 kernel that was released this week.
Tested combinations: Release Kernel Bionic 4.15.0-156.163 Focal 5.4.0-85.95 (from focal-proposed) Hirsute 5.11.0-35.37 (from hirsute-proposed) Tested each driver with a cuda workload and use of nvidia-smi to verify the driver functions as expected after install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1939673 Title: Update the 470 and the 470-server NVIDIA drivers Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Bug description: Update the 470 (UDA) and 470-server (ERD) NVIDIA series in Bionic, Focal, Hirsute. [Impact] These releases provide both bug fixes and new features, and we would like to make sure all of our users have access to these improvements. See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs. [Test Case] The following development and SRU process was followed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NVidiaUpdates Certification test suite must pass on a range of hardware: https://git.launchpad.net/plainbox-provider-sru/tree/units/sru.pxu The QA team that executed the tests will be in charge of attaching the artifacts and console output of the appropriate run to the bug. nVidia maintainers team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until this has happened. [Regression Potential] In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the aforementioned system level tests are attached to this bug. [Discussion] [Changelog] == 470.57.02 (470-server) == * debian/nvidia_supported, debian/rules (LP: #1939673): - Use the json database file to generate the modaliases. - Fix aliases generation. We were not matching some of the aliases because of some missing zeroes in the subdevice and subvendor ids. * debian/pm-aliases-gen: - Fix aliases generation for runtimepm. We were not matching some of the aliases because of some missing zeroes in the subdevice and subvendor ids. == 470.63.01 (470) == * New upstream release (LP: #1939673): - Added support for the following GPUs: NVIDIA RTX A2000 - Fixed a Vulkan performance regression that affected rFactor2. * debian/nvidia_supported, debian/rules: - Use the json database file to generate the modaliases. - Fix aliases generation.
