Public bug reported: [Impact] These releases provide both bug fixes and new features, and we would like to make sure all of our users have access to these improvements.
See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs. [Test Case] The following development and SRU process was followed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NVidiaUpdates Certification test suite must pass on a range of hardware: https://git.launchpad.net/plainbox-provider-sru/tree/units/sru.pxu The QA team that executed the tests will be in charge of attaching the artifacts and console output of the appropriate run to the bug. nVidia maintainers team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until this has happened. [Regression Potential] In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the aforementioned system level tests are attached to this bug. [Discussion] [Changelog] == 520.56.06 (UDA) == * New upstream release: - Implemented support for over-the-air updates in the Proton and Wine NVIDIA NGX build. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the "PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER" environment variable to a value of "1". - Updated the Vulkan driver so that the following extensions no longer depend on nvidia-uvm.ko being loaded at runtime: + VK_KHR_acceleration_structure + VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations + VK_KHR_ray_query + VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline + VK_NV_cuda_kernel_launch + VK_NV_ray_tracing + VK_NV_ray_tracing_motion_blur + VK_NVX_binary_import + VK_NVX_image_view_handle - Updated nvidia-installer to allow use of the "--add-this- kernel" feature by non-root users. - Updated nvidia-installer to display a more accurate progress bar when building the kernel modules. - Updated nvidia-installer to display a warning message if a Vulkan ICD loader is not detected. - Reworked nvidia-installer's support for DKMS: the kernel modules will now be optionally registered with DKMS after the installer has already built and installed them on its own. nvidia-installer will now register the kernel modules with DKMS by default when the dkms(8) utility is detected on the system. - Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver which could lead to corruption in geometry and tessellation control shaders. - Added a new CUDA Debugger implementation for Pascal and newer architectures as a part of the driver package: libcudadebugger.so (previously released separately as "CUDA GDB Developer Preview"). - Fixed a regression in 515.76 that caused blank screens and hangs when starting an X server on RTX 30 series GPUs in some configurations where the boot display is connected via HDMI. - Fixed a bug where Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered would sometimes crash with Xid 13 errors on Turing and later. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-515 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-515 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992669 Title: Introduce the NVIDIA 520 UDA driver series Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-515 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] These releases provide both bug fixes and new features, and we would like to make sure all of our users have access to these improvements.
