Calling "ubuntu-drivers install" picks the correct UDA driver. I also tested specifying the driver manually, with "ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:440-server", and I got the correct driver again.

The new parser code takes care of this. [Test Case] 1) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new ubuntu- drivers-common (0.8.4~0.20.04.1). 2) Check that specifying an NVIDIA driver flavour works (e.g. "ubuntu- drivers install nvidia:440", if your card is supported by the driver) 3) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when accessing the desktop. 4) Remove all the nvidia drivers: sudo apt-get --purge remove '*nvidia*' 5) Test the auto-detection: ubuntu-drivers install 6) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when accessing the desktop. 7) Check that the correct driver was installed for your card: ubuntu-drivers debug [Regression Potential] Medium-Low. The new code should not affect the current functioning of the ubuntu-drivers tool.
