This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-515 -
515.76-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-515 (515.76-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) focal; urgency=medium
* debian/nvidia_supported:
- Actually add support for the open kernel driver (fixes FTBFS)
(LP: #1988836).
* debian/templates/control.in,
debian/rules.defs:
- Keep arm64 off for now.
* debian/rules:
- Sync up with the jammy and kinetic branches so that the open
kernel driver sources are not removed on clean.
* debian
* New upstream release (LP: #1990835):
- Turing and later: fixed possible excessive GPU power draw on an
idle X11 or Wayland desktop when driving high resolutions or
refresh rates.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Xorg server to crash if an NvFBC
capture session is started while video memory is full.

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* The 515 series introduced open kernel modules for the NVIDIA driver. They
come with an open source licence, and should be provided as an option for
datacenter GPUs:
https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/
Currently, this is only production-ready (and enabled) on
datacenter GPUs.
* We should enable signed modules for the 515-open drivers, giving
users the option to try the drivers.
* The ubuntu-drivers tool should set a lower priority for the -open
flavour, so that we do not end up recommending it over the plain 515
flavour.
[ Test Plan ]
* [ubuntu-drivers-common]:
"sudo ubuntu-drivers install (to make sure the driver is not installed by
default)"
* [nvidia driver]
"sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:515-open" to make sure that the
driver can be installed manually.
Please make sure that this installs the correct linux-restricted-
modules.
Note: support for GeForce and Workstation GPUs is alpha-quality,
and is disabled by default. This means that desktop testing is not
needed at the moment.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* This adds a new driver combination, which is not meant to be default, and
is only enabled for a limited amount of devices (datacenter GPUs).
* We need to be sure that the driver is not recommended over the other
drivers.
