Public bug reported: The linux-restricted-modules package exists so that users who install the nvidia drivers can get known-good, signed modules instead of having to locally self-sign and enroll a signing key through MOK. But lrm in eoan is only building driver packages for nvidia 390 and 430, and nvidia 435 is present in eoan.
So on a new Ubuntu 19.10 install, ubuntu-drivers is picking 435 as the newest driver instead of using the signed 430 driver. We should never allow the archive to get into this situation. We should be enforcing that any version of the nvidia driver that we expect ubuntu-drivers to install by default on any hardware is integrated into linux-restricted-modules, and we should ensure that ubuntu-drivers always prefers the signed drivers over other options. ** Affects: linux-restricted-modules (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Also affects: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-restricted-modules in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856407 Title: nvidia-435 is in eoan, linux-restricted-modules only builds against 430, ubiquity gives me the self-signed modules experience instead of using the Canonical-signed modules Status in linux-restricted-modules package in Ubuntu: New Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The linux-restricted-modules package exists so that users who install the nvidia drivers can get known-good, signed modules instead of having to locally self-sign and enroll a signing key through MOK.
