Changelog

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.9.6.4) lunar; urgency=medium

  [ Jeremy Szu ]
  * README, README.md,
    UbuntuDrivers/detect.py,
    tests/test_ubuntu_drivers.py:
    - Add support for force installing the NVIDIA driver on unsupported
      devices.
      The device and its target driver branch are both specified in the
      /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json file.
      Support for  runtimepm can also be set in the file.
    - Support autokgstest for force install nvidia.
    - Add autopkgtest in README section.

  [ gongzhengyang ]
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py:
    - Fix local variable 'version' being referenced before assignment
      when catching ValueError.

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * tests/test_ubuntu_drivers.py:
    - Add test_system_open_driver_packages_chroot1(). This makes sure
    that we keep preferring non-open NVIDIA modules over the -open ones
    (on the desktop), until the open module catches up on the desktop
    features.

  [ Jeff Lane ]
  * detect-plugins/sl-modem.py:
    - Add some error trapping when aplay is not installed (on servers).

ubuntu-drivers-common: Detect and install additional Ubuntu driver packages

 This package aggregates and abstracts Ubuntu specific logic and knowledge
 about third-party driver packages. It provides:
 .
  - a Python API for detecting driver packages for a particular piece of
    hardware or the whole system.
 .
  - an "ubuntu-drivers" command line tool to list or install driver packages
    (mostly for integration in installers).
 .
  - some NVidia specific support code to find the most appropriate driver
    version, as well as setting up the alternatives symlinks that the
    proprietary NVidia and FGLRX packages use.
