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 Jammy:
New
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Noble:
Fix Released
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.
