description |
The different power profiles require loading the nvidia drivers with different options (or blacklisting them, in case of intel mode).
We need to call update-initramfs whenever we switch to a different profile, or things may fall out sync, resulting in a failure.
The update-initramfs command takes a few seconds, therefore we also need to provide feedback, so that users know that they have to wait for the operation to complete. For this reason, prime-select will provide a spinner on the command line, and nvidia-settings will show a progress dialog. |
Since we introduced support for dynamic power management, on systems with hybrid graphics (LP: #1904583), the need to load drivers with different options has become more evident.
We need to make sure that the files in the initramfs are in sync with the current user selection.
This is also a chance to update the old nvidia-settings release in the archive.
[Impact]
* If the modules list is not in sync with the selected power profile, users may experience a black screen or increased power consumption.
* Updating the initramfs can take a few seconds, and we need to provide users with some form of visual feedback.
[Fix]
* The prime-select tool shoud update the initramfs when switching between power profiles, and provide visual feedback.
* The nvidia-settings panel should provide a progress dialog, since profile switching would otherwise freeze the UI until update-initramfs completes.
[Test Case]
Make sure a supported nvidia driver is installed (450, 460), then install nvidia-prime and nvidia-settings from proposed, and check the following:
1) prime-select query (to check your current profile)
2) sudo prime-select on-demand (or "intel", or "nvidia", depending on your current power profile)
3) Check that the operation completes successfully.
4) Reboot your system
5) Launch the nvidia-setting panel.
6) Select a different profile from the PRIME tab, and check that a progress dialog is correctly displayed.
7) Close the nvidia-settings panel, and reboot.
[Regression Risk]
Medium, while the changes in prime-select are trivial, nvidia-settings needs careful testing. |
