Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected, Accepted nvidia-graphics-drivers-495 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers-495/495.46-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 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- bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-bionic. 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. -- 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/1954818 Title: Update the 495 NVIDIA series in Bionic, Focal, Hirsute, and Impish, and 470 in Focal Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-495 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-495 source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-495 source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Hirsute: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-495 source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Impish: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-495 source package in Impish: Fix Committed Bug description: [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 (focal only) == nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (470.86-0ubuntu0.20.04.2) focal; urgency=medium * debian/{nvidia_supported|pm-aliases-gen}: - Drop the following IDs in favour of the 495 series (LP: #1954818): 1fbc, 249c, 249d, 24b6, 24b7, 24b8, 25a0, 25b8. == 495 (bionic, focal, hirsute, impish) == nvidia-graphics-drivers-495 (495.46-0ubuntu*) [ Daniel van Vugt ] * debian/templates/libnvidia-extra-flavour.links.in: - Move nvidia-drm_gbm.so into the gbm/ library subdirectory which is where Mesa searches for it. [ Alberto Milone ] * debian/additional_card_ids, debian/additional_runtimepm_ids: - Add the following IDs: 1FBC 249C 249D 24B6 24B7 24B8 25A0 25B8 * New upstream release (LP: #1954818): - Added support for the GBM API. This adds the new symlink nvidia-drm_gbm.so pointing to the file libnvidia- allocator.so.VERSION to implement a GBM backend driver usable with the GBM loader from the Mesa project version 21.2 and above, as well as the files libnvidia-egl-gbm.so.1.1.0 and 15_nvidia_gbm.json, which implement EGL support for the GBM platform (EGL_KHR_platform_gbm). - Add indicator for Resizable BAR support on compatible systems. - Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when starting a new server generation on PRIME configurations. - Removed support for NvIFROpenGL. This functionality was deprecated in the 470.xx driver release. - Removed libnvidia-cbl.so from the driver package. This functionality is now provided by other driver libraries. - Changed the minimum required Linux kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10. - Updated nvidia.ko to load even if no supported NVIDIA GPUs are present when an NVIDIA NVSwitch device is detected in the system. Previously, nvidia.ko would fail to load into the kernel if no supported GPUs were present. - Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver where unused input attributes to a vertex shader would corrupt the interpolation qualifiers for the shader. - Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver where individual components of barycentric inputs could not be read. - Added support for the VK_KHR_present_id extension. - Added support for the VK_KHR_present_wait extension. - Added support for the VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_uniform_control_flow extension. - Fixed a bug where VK_NVX_binary_import was advertised as supported on unsupported platforms. This caused calls to vkCreateDevice to fail if applications attempted to enable VK_NVX_binary_import on such platforms. - Added a new command line option, "--no-peermem", to nvidia- installer. Selecting this option prevents the installation of the nvidia-peermem kernel module. - Fixed a regression which prevented DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate (VRR) G-SYNC Compatible monitors from functioning correctly in variable refresh rate mode, resulting in issues such as flickering. - Fixed a bug that can cause a kernel crash in SLI Mosaic configurations. - Added support for the EGL_NV_robustness_video_memory_purge extension.
