Tested with iso built from live-build and import ubuntu-drivers-common from focal-proposed. After installation finished, check /var/log/installer/syslog can see error log as attachment. It says "ubiquity: chroot: failed to run command ‘prime-select’: No such file or directory", because 31ubuntu_driver_packages is called by target config hook which is run before target install stage. Also tested with 21.10 iso file and will got same error message in log.
** Attachment added: "syslog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1943816/+attachment/5546087/+files/syslog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1943816 Title: "ubuntu-drivers install" needs to be used when installing nvidia- driver if enabling "third-party packages" Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in subiquity: New Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubiquity source package in Focal: New Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: ubiquity calls ``` ubuntu-drivers install $FREEONLY $NOOEM --package-list /run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall ``` to generate package list during live system but "ubuntu-drivers install" not only install packages but also create some config files for switching nvidia mode (e.g. on-demand) and change the runtime config as well (e.g. modify the iniramfs). Thus, not only package list needs to be referred but also the configuration. --- In ubuntu-drivers-common, which read the "/run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall" to install package. It also skipping the nvidia-mode changing (made by ubuntu-drivers install). ``` $ cat ubiquity/target-config/31ubuntu_driver_packages #!/bin/sh set -e # install all packages that "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" installed into the # live system. Ubiquity calls this with --package-list /run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall PKGLIST=/run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall [ -e $PKGLIST ] || exit 0 for p in `cat $PKGLIST`; do apt-install $p done ``` --- We need to use a same approach to make sure the nvidia mode is same on a same system (either all handing by ubuntu-drivers install or change the logic to maintainer script in each package). --- [Impact] * According to Nvidia README, the RTD3 (Runtime D3) doesn't support on non-laptop machine * Install Ubuntu with "third-party packages" enabled, will not get same GPU configuration by running "ubuntu-drivers install" * Patch make system not enable RTD3 unless it's a laptop and set default GPU mode to "on-demand" [Test Plan] * Create Focal iso with live-build and import ubuntu-drivers-common from -proposed * Install Ubuntu on machine, in "Updates and other software" page select "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats" * On laptop with Nvidia RTD3 supported GPU. The configuration file '/run/nvidia_runtimepm_supported' will be created. * Call "prime-select query" to make sure the default mode is "on-demand" [Where problems could occur] * With non-laptop machine use RTD3 supported GPU may use more power [Other Info] * For RTD3 (Runtime D3) doesn't support on non-laptop machine, refer to https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1942788 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1943816/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
