Changelog

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.9.6.2~0.22.04.3) jammy; urgency=medium

  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py:
    - Fix "882:5 local variable 'with_nvidia_kms' is assigned to
      but never used" FTBFS (triggered by tests/test_static.py).

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.9.6.2~0.22.04.2) jammy; urgency=medium

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * debian/rules:
    - Limit the tests to the selected architectures (amd64, arm64).
      This prevents armhf builds from failing.
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py:
    - Make sure all -open drivers have a lower priority, regardless
      of whether the --server parameter is passed in or not.
    - Update regex and unify package name parsing in the following
      functions by using the new NvidiaPkgNameInfo class:
      nvidia_desktop_pre_installation_hook,
      _get_headless_no_dkms_metapackage,
      nvidia_desktop_pre_installation_hook,
      get_linux_modules_metapackage,
      This prevents ubuntu-drivers from crashing when dealing with
      the -open NVIDIA drivers (LP: #1993019).
  * tests/test_ubuntu_drivers.py:
    - Add tests so we make sure to keep preferring non-open NVIDIA
      modules over the -open ones, at least until the open modules catch up
      feature wise and performance wise.

  [ gongzhengyang ]
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py:
    - Fix local variable 'version' being referenced before assignment
      when catching ValueError (LP: #1993019).

  [ Jeff Lane ]
  * detect-plugins/sl-modem.py:
    - Add some error trapping when aplay is not installed (on servers)
      (LP: #1935070).

Binary packages built by this source

dh-modaliases: debhelper extension for scanning kernel module aliases

 dh_modaliases is useful for packages that ship third-party kernel modules,
 either in binary form, or as sources (with e. g. DKMS). It extracts the
 modules' modaliases from either the compile .ko files themselves (for packages
 which ship them in compiled form, using modinfo), or from a package file
 debian/packagename.modaliases.
 .
 This enables software which is looking for missing driver packages (such as
 Jockey or the operating system installer) to identify which package(s) will
 provide a driver for a piece of hardware, identified by its modalias.

fglrx-pxpress: transitional package for ubuntu-drivers-common

 This is a transitional package for ubuntu-drivers-common. You can remove it
 after upgrading.

nvidia-common: transitional package for ubuntu-drivers-common

 This is a transitional package for ubuntu-drivers-common. You can remove it
 after upgrading.

ubuntu-drivers-common: Detect and install additional Ubuntu driver packages

 This package aggregates and abstracts Ubuntu specific logic and knowledge
 about third-party driver packages. It provides:
 .
  - a Python API for detecting driver packages for a particular piece of
    hardware or the whole system.
 .
  - an "ubuntu-drivers" command line tool to list or install driver packages
    (mostly for integration in installers).
 .
  - some NVidia specific support code to find the most appropriate driver
    version, as well as setting up the alternatives symlinks that the
    proprietary NVidia and FGLRX packages use.
