Hello everyone, Find below an update to this bug that includes recent events in response to @Matthew's directive with recent events and input from Technical Board members, Security, Kernel and Archive Admins.
1) Restoring the nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 DKMS package, unsigned kernel package will happen imminently. 2) Ubuntu's Security Team position is that we should not re-enable linux-modules-nvidia-470-generic signed drivers. For restoring functionality, the DKMS package should suffice. The reasoning behind this is that we should not be signing code which has known security vulnerabilities. We do know that the code base is essentially the same in all of their drivers, and the newer ones have had serious security issues. 3) There is recognition that transitioning the EOL branches could have a better user experience. The Kernel team will take on preparing an update/addendum to the NVIDIA Exception policy where we describe the EOL experience and expectations in the Ubuntu documentation and submit it for review in the next few months. 4) After these meetings happen, I will update the Discourse post with current information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2155202 Title: Severe hardware functionality regressions caused by forced major version updates for NVIDIA drivers (originally: Latest Update Breaks Systems Using Nvidia 470) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470/+bug/2155202/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
