Andreas, this is my best understanding. Users will have to reach installation through any of the means (ubuntu- drivers, or apt-get install).
When they reach the installation it will happen what you described. Prompting for a password will be dependent on the setup. AFAIK: a) If secure boot is disabled, no prompting. b) If it is not the first time you install a DKMS, no password prompt will happen. c) If it is the first time you install a DKMS, then the prompt will happen. -- 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
