** Description changed: SRU Request: [Impact] Deferred module build was a feature that worked with Upstart and that was never updated to work with systemd. [Test Case] 1) Enter the following command to create the temporary file: sudo touch /tmp/do_not_build_dkms_module 2) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new "nvidia-384" 3) Check that DKMS didn't build the module (the "dkms status" will give you a clue). 3) Restart your computer and see if the module is built correctly (you should be able to access the desktop session). Check that the module is there with the "dkms status" command. + [Regression Potential] + Low, as, currently, the feature doesn't work at all with systemd. + _____________ The nvidia-graphics-drivers (https://github.com/tseliot/nvidia-graphics-drivers/tree/375-xenial) deferred DKMS feature does not work in xenial.
