Bug Description
SRU Request:
[Impact]
The ubuntu drivers tool requires support for the new NVIDIA -server series (introduced by LP: #1881137)
As already made possible when passing in the "--gpgpu" to the "install" argument, ubuntu drivers should be consistent and allow specifying a driver series regardless of whether the --gpgpu argument is used or not. The new parser code takes care of this.
[Test Case]
1) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new ubuntu-
2) Check that specifying an NVIDIA driver flavour works (e.g. "ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:440", if your card is supported by the driver)
3) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when accessing the desktop.
4) Remove all the nvidia drivers:
sudo apt-get --purge remove '*nvidia*'
5) Test the auto-detection:
ubuntu-drivers install
6) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when accessing the desktop.
7) Check that the correct driver was installed for your card:
ubuntu-drivers debug
[Regression Potential]
Medium-Low. The new code should not affect the current functioning of the ubuntu-drivers tool.
