ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.2.89 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.89) trusty; urgency=low * debian/control: - Breaks: nvidia-prime (<< 0.6). We don't want the gpu-manager to compete with the old nvidia-prime on hybrid systems. * share/hybrid/gpu-manager.c: - Fix memory leaks and complete the different test cases. * tests/gpu-manager.py: - Add test suite for gpu-manager to reproduce different hardware/software scenarios. * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py, tests/ubuntu_drivers.py: - Enable installing graphics drivers on laptops with hybrid graphics (LP: #1126234), and on desktop systems where the BIOS doesn't disable the integrated GPU when a discrete card is available (LP: #1126234). This is now possible thanks to the gpu-manager (now enabled by default). * Replace the deprecated hybrid-detect program with gpu-manager (now enabled by default). In case of problems with the gpu-manager, it can be disabled by passing "nogpumanager" as a boot parameter. -- Alberto Milone <email address hidden> Thu, 06 Mar 2014 09:24:54 +0100

Binary packages built by this source
- 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).
.
- a PackageKit plugin for WhatProvides() for types MODALIAS and
HARDWARE_DRIVER, to do the same queries as above through the PackageKit API
(for using in non-distro specific GUIs). This works with aptdaemon's
PackageKit compatibility layer (python3-aptdaemon. pkcompat) and with
PackageKit's apt backend, but _not_ with the PackageKit aptcc backend.
.
- 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.
