It is used to install generic kernels without installing modules-extra. This was done to reduce a footprint of a VM that usually does not have hardware passed through to it. Unfortunately There is no 'linux-modules-nvidia-virtual' created for that flavour so there is no match when ubuntu-drivers tries to find the precompiled drivers. It is possible to install 'linux-modules-nvidia-generic', since they match the kernel packages pulled in by linux-image-virtual. fix the issue by treating 'virtual' as 'generic' install with --gpgpu is broken and no longer installs linux-modules- nvidia, only nvidia-driver-no-dkms-<series>. This makes the system unusable as the actual kernel module is not present but headless-no- dkms package will satisfy ubuntu-driver's dependency search so subsequent calls to install a driver will do nothing. [ Steps to reproduce ] 1. deploy a VM with 'linux-image-virtual' 2. call 'ubuntu-drivers list' 2. observe the list of packages that is proposed [ Test plan ] 1. deploy a VM with 'linux-image-virtual' 2. Install ubuntu-drivers on a machine with a modern NVIDIA card 3. Call 'ubuntu-drivers list' [ Expected result ] the list should look like this: > nvidia-driver-550-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-server-generic) where the part in brackets is referencing 'linux-modules-nvidia' and not 'nvidia-dkms-550-server' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/2085962/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
