Bug Description

SRU request:

Please accept jockey in precise-proposed.

[Rationale]
The new code adds support for the lts-saucy backported stack and for the future lts-trusty stack.

[Impact]
Without this work, hybrid graphics can't be enabled if the lts-saucy stack is installed. Installing the nvidia driver on hybrid systems without the nvidia-prime package will result in failure.

[Test Case]
1) Install the update
2) Make sure that Saucy's xserver is installed.
3) Launch Jockey and install the nvidia driver on a hybrid system with Intel/NVIDIA GPUs.
4) Check that the "nvidia-prime" package was installed.

[Regression Potential]
Low. The new code doesn't affect systems with different stacks or non-hybrid systems.

Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected,

Accepted jockey into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/0.9.7-0ubuntu7.14 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I can confirm that the update in precise-proposed solves the problem on my laptop with Intel/NVIDIA.

Here are the most important lines from the attached log:

linux-lts-saucy installed: True
linux-lts-trusty installed: False
linux minor version: 11
xserver ABI: 14

This means that the system is using Saucy's LTS stack (X ABI 14, linux-lts-saucy).

These two lines prove that Jockey installs both the driver and the nvidia-prime package as expected:

2014-02-12 16:15:17,564 DEBUG: Installing package: nvidia-prime
...
2014-02-12 16:15:21,192 DEBUG: Installing package: nvidia-331

As a result it's all correctly set up and working.

This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.14

---------------
jockey (0.9.7-0ubuntu7.14) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * jockey/oslib.py, jockey/xorg_driver.py:
    - Add code to fully enable hybrid graphics when using
      Saucy's LTS stack, and the future Trusty stack
      (LP: #1279229).
  * tests/hybridgraphics.py:
    - Add tests which simulate the availability of Saucy's
      and Trusty's backported stacks.
