Install jammy iso ubuntu-22.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso into Dell Precision
7680. Then install ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.9.6.2~0.22.04.6 from
proposed channel.
ubuntu@ubuntu-Precision-7680:~$ ubuntu-drivers list
ubuntu@ubuntu-Precision-7680:~$ sudo cp /tmp/custom_supported_gpus.json /etc
ubuntu@ubuntu-Precision-7680:~$ cat /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json

}
]
}
ubuntu@ubuntu-Precision-7680:~$ ubuntu-drivers list
nvidia-driver-535, (kernel modules provided by
linux-modules-nvidia-535-generic-hwe-22.04)
System can use ubuntu-drivers to list package by adding customized JSON
file. With command ubuntu-drivers install, Nvidia related packages can
be added. After system reboot, Nvidia GPU work as expected.

Title:
[SRU] Support to install nvidia driver by allowing list
Status in OEM Priority Project:

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Jammy:
Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Lunar:

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* In NVIDIA new GPU release cycle, NVIDIA ships their new GPUs to
OEM/ODM for production.
In the meantime, NVIDIA usually notify OEM/ODM/Canonical (under NDA)
to use a specific nvidia version to development/production.
NVIDIA and OEN/ODM will announce the next generation combination at
the same time usually when the factory ready to ship the product.
We made Ubuntu as a leading distribution supports many cutting edge
devices, it's time to have an official way to make the nvidia
installation consistent in unannounced (yet) nvidia devices to support
OEM/ODM factory shipment for our growing counterparts.
[ Test Plan ]
* Steps to make sure it works:
1. pick a cutting edge nvidia graphic.
2. remove nv-525 from the pool by removing restricted in jammy-updates and
jammy-security
3. check the nv support status:
```
$ ubuntu-drivers list
oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode
libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom
oem-somerville-cinccino-meta
```
4. modify custom file
```
$ cat /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json
{
"chips": [
{
"devid": "0x24BA",
"name": "TEST 24BA",
"branch": "580.1234",
"features": [
"runtimepm"
]
},
{
"devid": "0x25BC",
"name": "TEST 25BC",
"branch": "510",
"features": [
"runtimepm"
]
}
]
}
```
5. make sure the hook works
```
$ ubuntu-drivers list
nvidia-driver-510, (kernel modules provided by nvidia-dkms-510)
oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode
libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom
oem-somerville-cinccino-meta
[ Where problems could occur ]
* This feature only impact target system has a custom file
"/etc/custom_supported_gpus.json". And it won't generate automatically
which should not impact normal users
