Public bug reported:
By default, DKMS only builds modules for the currently booted kernel
version. This is because the autoinstall_all_kernels parameter is not
set in /etc/dkms/framework.conf.
This poses a problem in Ubuntu LTS, when HWE kernels are installed. For
example, if a HWE kernel is booted and a new Nvidia driver version is
installed, the Nvidia kernel module is built only for the HWE kernel but
not for the base LTS kernel. This means that the base kernel becomes
unusable for GUI sessions.
DKMS should be configured to build modules for all installed kernel
versions by default. That is, by default, autoinstall_all_kernels should
be set to "yes".
