[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1930937] Re: SRU: Default dependency resolution in Focal pulls in full GNOME Desktop
Hi, I have tried the below steps i.e 1. Install Ubuntu 20.04 2. Enable the universe repository by #sudo add-apt-repository universe (I noticed that this was already enabled) 3. Install cuda drivers using the --no-install-recommendations options i.e apt install -y --no-install- recommends cuda 4. Reboot With this, I do not see the GUI loading. Can you please help us with the recommended fix for the same?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1930937] Re: SRU: Default dependency resolution in Focal pulls in full GNOME Desktop
Tested in a clean focal chroot. The dependency resolution works as expected, allowing the package to be installed without pulling in all of GNOME, but only if the "universe" repository component is enabled. If I have only "main" enabled, then dependency resolution fails with the following: # apt install screen-resolution-extra Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: screen-resolution-extra : Depends: policykit-1-gnome but it is not installable or gnome-shell but it is not going to be installed or polkit-1-auth-agent E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I'm not sure if there's a reason apt doesn't just fall back to selecting gnome-shell when policykit-1-gnome isn't available, due to being in a disabled repository. Perhaps this might be expected behavior, but since there is a change in behavior compared to how the dependencies were previously set up, I'm not sure if the change is appropriate for an SRU. At least for default desktop installations, I imagine the difference wouldn't be noticeable, since gnome-shell would already be installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to screen-resolution-extra in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1930937 Title: SRU: Default dependency resolution in Focal pulls in full GNOME Desktop Status in screen-resolution-extra package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in screen-resolution-extra source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in screen-resolution-extra source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Status in screen-resolution-extra source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Bug description: In Bionic, screen-resolution-extra has a dependency on policykit-1-gnome | polkit-1-auth-agent.
