Having 470 drivers left in the archives as installable is a bug. This will be fixed by adding transitional packages to 535, which is the current NVIDIA's LTS branch and is still supported. fixing 470's code to compile against new kernels is not feasible. Compilation may pass, but there is no way to proof test that what compiled is actually working. If Nvidia stopped supporting the driver, we won't pick it up. they actually recommend using nouveau for old cards that are not supported by any of the current drivers (535, 570, 575).
All drivers are compiled against all kernels that we support so there should not be a situation that dkms fails to build a driver. For 470 it happened because the driver did not have proper transitional packages that would move people off of it a year ago. The result should've been that no one would be running 470 at this point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2110338 Title: Nvidia 470/470-server fails to build on kernel 6.14 HWE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470/+bug/2110338/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
