This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common -
1:0.8.4~0.20.04.2
---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.4~0.20.04.2) focal; urgency=medium
* gpu-manager.c:
- Use the full multiarch path for the X11 libraries.
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.4~0.20.04.1) focal; urgency=medium
* UbuntuDrivers/detect.py,
detect-plugins/sl-modem.py:
- Avoid triggering test_static.py
with "E741 ambiguous variable name 'l'" error.
* ubuntu-drivers:
- Rework the argument parser to allow passing in
driver and vendor for the "install" case
(LP: #1881586).
- Do not print an error when linux-modules cannot
be found. This prevents the ubuntu-drivers tools
from printing misleading warnings, as seen in
LP:#1882402.
- Add support for the new -server NVIDIA drivers
(LP: #1881586).
* debian/control:
- Depend on python3-click (for the argument
parsing code).
- Drop dependency on dpkg-dev (LP: #1880564).
* gpu-manager.c:
- Add get_system_architecture() (to drop the
dpkg-dev dependency).

Title:
Add support for the new NVIDIA -server driver series
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Bionic:
In Progress
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Focal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
SRU Request:
[Impact]
The ubuntu drivers tool requires support for the new NVIDIA -server
series (introduced by LP: #1881137)
As already made possible when passing in the "--gpgpu" to the
"install" argument, ubuntu drivers should be consistent and allow
specifying a driver series regardless of whether the --gpgpu argument
is used or not. 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.
