Tested on AWS instance with 6.8.0-1024-aws installed and ubuntu-drivers- common = 1:0.9.7.6ubuntu3.2 installed from noble-proposed
1) call: ubuntu-drivers list 2) observer output. nvidia-driver-550, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-aws) nvidia-driver-535, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-aws) nvidia-driver-470, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-aws) nvidia-driver-535-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-server-aws) nvidia-driver-470-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-server-aws) nvidia-driver-570-server-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-server-open-aws) nvidia-driver-550-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-open-aws) nvidia-driver-535-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-open-aws) nvidia-driver-570-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-server-aws) nvidia-driver-535-server-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-server-open-aws) In this case 570-server-open is above 570-server, because all driver versions above 560 prefere -open variant. At the same time 550 is above 550-open and 535-server above 535-server-open. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-noble ** Tags added: verification-done-noble -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081967 Title: NVIDIA 560 release should suggest -open variant first Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Noble: Fix Committed Bug description: Since 560 NVIDIA suggests using open driver for all cards that support it, ubuntu-drivers should select these as recommended. By default it sorts -open variants below all others. [ Impact ] Wrong nvidia driver is selcted for 560 series NVIDIA drivers packages [ Steps to reproduce ] 1. Make sure the machine is equipped with NVIDIA card, Turing or newer. 2. Add a PPA with NVIDIA driver 560 (if not available already) 3. call: ubuntu-drivers list --recommended Expected result: If 560 is available for that machine, 560-server-open or 560-open should be the ones recommended. [ Test plan ] 1. Install ubuntu-drivers on a machine with a modern NVIDIA card 2. Call ubuntu-drivers list --recommended 3. check if 560 is offered in -open variant.
