based on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1728547 #10 and #9 , the verification was done.

Comments #10 and #9 on the mentioned bug do not show that the verification was done, those are automatic messages mentioning the update getting accepted into -proposed for verification. For a but to be considered verified by the SRU team, the bug needs to have its verification-needed-SERIES tag switched to verification-done-SERIES along with a comment mentioning what steps of testing have been performed on which version with what results. Sadly here none of that is present, so we cannot release the package to -updates yet.

I tried AMN4-DVT1-C2 with amdgpu-pro-17.10-414273,
not so "Enabling power saving mode for amdgpu-pro" line in /var/log/gpu-manager.log in step 5.

But it shows intel in step 7.

Changing xenial back to triaged as this change got reverted in a subsequent upload
