Bug description:
[ Impact ]
After installing Nvidia driver 545 on a single (27") monitor system,
Settings shows a phantom 46" monitor of the same resolution.
It looks like the phantom monitor is /dev/dri/card0 which is still
controlled by simpledrm, while Nvidia uses /dev/dri/card1.
This also seems to be triggering bug 2062426 and bug 2066126.
[ Temporary Workaround ]
1. sudo rm /dev/dri/card0
2. Log in again.
[ Permanent Workaround ]
Add kernel parameter: initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init
Beware that this has side-effects: see comment #37
[ Test Plan - Nvidia case ]
1. Set up a DESKTOP where the only GPU enabled is an Nvidia one.
2. Open the 'Additional Drivers' app to install a supported Nvidia driver.
3. Reboot and verify the Nvidia driver is now active (lspci -k should mention
'nvidia' and not 'nouveau').
4. Open Settings and verify the only monitors shown are your real monitors.
[ Regression Test Plan - Intel/AMD graphics ]
1. Set up a machine with integrated graphics only.
2. Reboot.
3. Verify that you are able to log into the Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session.
4. Run `apt install nvidia-driver-535`.
5. Reboot.
6. Verify that you are able to log into the Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session.
[ Regression Test Plan - Virtual machines ]
1. Set up a virtual machine without any graphics acceleration (vmware,
virtio...)
2. Reboot.
3. Verify that you are able to log into the Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session.
4. Run `sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535`.
5. Reboot.
6. Verify that you are able to log into the Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session.
7. Optionally go back to point 4, and try with nvidia-driver-550.
[ Regression Test Plan - Nvidia+LUKS ]
1. Set up a desktop machine (not a laptop) with an Nvidia GPU and encrypted
disk.
2. Open the 'Additional Drivers' app to install a supported Nvidia driver.
3. Reboot
4. Verify that you see the password prompt for decrypting the disk.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Removing the simpledrm card is only safe when it's not being used. If
somehow a machine wasn't using the installed Nvidia driver then there
could be a risk of deleting the only working display.
One case where this could happen is if the Nvidia driver would allow
being loaded even without any nvidia hardware present: if that is the
case, "Regression Test Plan - Virtual machines" would fail.
