Public bug reported:
While I am unclear which package update impacted the video drivers
detected by ubuntu-drivers, the nvidia 545 and nvidia 550 video drivers
are no longer shown as an option on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 video card.
I can understand the removal of the nvidia 545 drivers as the current
kernel's linux-signatures-nvidia-6.8.0-28-generic package lacks
signatures for the nvidia 545 kernel modules for secure boot but the
nvidia 550 kernel modules signatures are available. So while it would be
acceptable to downgrade the 'tested' default nvidia driver to 535,
ubuntu-drivers and Additional Drivers should be offering the nvidia 550
drivers as an untested option.
