I don't think the "simpledrm" reason listed in 2035189 holds up. Unless you're in a virtual machine, SimpleDRM is only used for the few seconds of initrd, or for the duration of the disk unlock prompt. Even if old Nvidia drivers can't support SimpleDRM, they can support legacy framebuffers which we are continuing to ship in initrd. So old Nvidia drivers should remain usable, even if low res, during boot.
Also the unresolved Jammy task at the top of this page would not still say Confirmed if it was decided to never be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028165 Title: nvidia-dkms-* FTBS with linux 6.5 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-450-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-525 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-525-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 source package in Jammy: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-450-server source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-525 source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-525-server source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 source package in Mantic: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-450-server source package in Mantic: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Mantic: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server source package in Mantic: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-525 source package in Mantic: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-525-server source package in Mantic: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] ...

[Fix] Apply the attached fix. [How to test] Install (and build) the patched packet. [Regression potential] The fix is composed of two patches: 1) the first patch simply garbage collect a reference to a function that was never used but that had the API changed in Linux 6.5 - so, it's a trivial change. 2) the second patch actually reimplement part of the vma scanning that was removed in __get_user_pages_locked() in upstream commit b2cac248191b7466c5819e0da617b0705a26e197 "mm/gup: removed vmas array from internal GUP functions" - here is where most likely any regression could be found.
