Bug Description

We currently build and sign the nvidia-graphics-drivers-* packages in the main kernel package, pull off the signatures and throw away the builds. Later in LRM we build them again (builds are performed in a reproducible manner) and attach the signatures we produced in the main kernel package. While functional we have to respin the entire kernel if the nvidia version changes, which makes updates to nvidia almost impossible outside of the SRU cycle, and tricky even then.

Now that we have an Ubuntu Drivers signing key we should be using this to sign the nvidia-graphics-drivers-* .ko's.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1917034

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

We have used this bug to track the changes needed to be added to bionic:linux to allow it to be simply migrated to LRMv4. The actual conversion and post-conversions updates will be tracked now under bug #1918134.
