I don't think it's right to drop support for hardware when the driver is EOL upstream. Nouveau never worked properly with my GK208B [GeForce GT 710] and the proprietary driver is the only usable option.
Furthermore, this was not communicated properly when I upgraded using do-release-upgrade. It simply left the nvidia 470 packages installed, and the DKMS build failed with the new 6.11 kernel. So, after rebooting after the upgrade, I didn't have a working X GUI. Everything still works if I use oracular with the 6.8 kernel from noble. Apt pinning can help with that. Hopefully the errors that happen when building the 470 modules with the 6.11 kernel are fixable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2080624 Title: Remove from oracular, EOL upstream Status in fabric-manager-470 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libnvidia-nscq-470 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This driver is EOL now, so it should be removed from oracular. https://endoflife.date/nvidia To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fabric-manager-470/+bug/2080624/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
