Bug Description
[ Impact ]
* The 515 series introduced open kernel modules for the NVIDIA driver. They come with an open source licence, and should be provided as an option for datacenter GPUs:
https:/
Currently, this is only production-ready (and enabled) on datacenter GPUs.
* We should enable signed modules for the 515-open drivers, giving users the option to try the drivers.
* The ubuntu-drivers tool should set a lower priority for the -open flavour, so that we do not end up recommending it over the plain 515 flavour.
[ Test Plan ]
* [ubuntu-
"sudo ubuntu-drivers install (to make sure the driver is not installed by default)"
* [nvidia driver]
"sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:515-open" to make sure that the driver can be installed manually.
Please make sure that this installs the correct linux-restricte
Note: support for GeForce and Workstation GPUs is alpha-quality, and is disabled by default. This means that desktop testing is not needed at the moment.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* This adds a new driver combination, which is not meant to be default, and is only enabled for a limited amount of devices (datacenter GPUs).
* We need to be sure that the driver is not recommended over the other drivers.
