This is a continuation of bug 2060268 where kernel 6.11 was found to require a different fix from that shipped for 6.8. Update: 6.8.0-51 has regressed in the same way as 6.11 did. [ Test Plan - Nvidia desktop ] 1. Set up a DESKTOP where the only GPU enabled is an Nvidia one. 1. Apply all updates and verify that the running kernel is 6.8.0-51 or later 2. Open the 'Additional Drivers' app to install a supported Nvidia driver. 3. Reboot and verify the Nvidia driver is now active (lspci -k should mention 'nvidia' and not 'nouveau'). 4. Log-in to a GNOME Xorg session 5. Open Settings and verify the only monitors shown are your real monitors. 6. Log-in to a Wayland session 7. Open Settings and verify the only monitors shown are your real monitors. [ Regression Test Plan - Nvidia Hybrid graphics ] 1. Set up a machine with Nvidia hybrid graphics (one discrete Nvidia GPU and one Intel/AMD integrated GPU) 2. Apply all updates and verify that the running kernel is 6.8.0-51 or later 3. Open the 'Additional Drivers' app to install a supported Nvidia driver. 4. Reboot and verify the Nvidia driver is now active (lspci -k should mention 'nvidia' and not 'nouveau'). 5. Verify that `ls /dev/dri/card*` lists exactly two files. [ Regression Test Plan - Intel/AMD graphics ] 1. Set up a machine with integrated graphics only. 2. Apply all updates and verify that the running kernel is 6.8.0-51 or later 3. Verify that you are able to log into the Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session. 4. Run `apt install nvidia-driver-535`. 5. Reboot. 6. Verify that you are able to log into the Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session. [ Regression Test Plan - Virtual machines ] 1. Set up a virtual machine without any graphics acceleration (vmware, virtio...) 2. Apply all updates and verify that the running kernel is 6.8.0-51 or later 3. Verify that you are able to log into the Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session. 4. Run `sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535`. 5. Reboot. 6. Verify that you are able to log into the Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session. 7. Optionally go back to point 4, and try with nvidia-driver-550. [ Regression Test Plan - Nvidia+LUKS ] 1. Set up a desktop machine (not a laptop) with an Nvidia GPU and encrypted disk. 2. Apply all updates and verify that the running kernel is 6.8.0-51 or later 3. Open the 'Additional Drivers' app to install a supported Nvidia driver. 4. Reboot 5. Verify that you see the password prompt for decrypting the disk. [ Where problems could occur ] Removing the simpledrm card is only safe when it's not being used. If somehow a machine wasn't using the installed Nvidia driver then there could be a risk of deleting the only working display. One case where this could happen is if the Nvidia driver would allow being loaded even without any nvidia hardware present: if that is the case, "Regression Test Plan - Virtual machines" would fail.
