2020-03-04 10:32:28 Iain Lane description [ Description ] We have a project underway at the minute to install any hardware-specific tweaks that are needed for the currently running machine, and to select a different kernel on those machines: the OEM kernel. This requires changes in grub, ubiquity and ubuntu-drivers common. grub ==== On a live session, construct a DMI modalias and match it against the packages on the CD to see if we need to boot the OEM kernel. ubuntu-drivers-common ===================== List the oem-*meta packages which apply to the running machine, and install those with 'install'. ubiquity ======== Use the information that ubuntu-drivers provides to show some UI if there is a matching package, and also install the package if the user selects it. [ Testing ] We have a package "oem-qemu-meta" in Focal which you can use to test this inn a VM. If you're using libvirt, edit the XML for a Focal VM and add In the <os> section: <smbios mode='sysinfo'/> Under <domain>: <sysinfo type='smbios'> <system> <entry name='product'>UBUNTUQEMUTEST</entry> </system> </sysinfo> [ Description ] We have a project underway at the minute to install any hardware-specific tweaks that are needed for the currently running machine, and to select a different kernel on those machines: the OEM kernel.
