Changelog

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.89.2) trusty; urgency=low

  * tests/gpu-manager.py:
    - Fix FTBFS.

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.89.1) trusty; urgency=low

  * tests/gpu-manager.py:
    - Remove leftover print that caused tests to fail in -proposed.

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.

Binary packages built by this source

dh-modaliases: debhelper extension for scanning kernel module aliases

 dh_modaliases is useful for packages that ship third-party kernel modules,
 either in binary form, or as sources (with e. g. DKMS). It extracts the
 modules' modaliases from either the compile .ko files themselves (for packages
 which ship them in compiled form, using modinfo), or from a package file
 debian/packagename.modaliases.
 .
 This enables software which is looking for missing driver packages (such as
 Jockey or the operating system installer) to identify which package(s) will
 provide a driver for a piece of hardware, identified by its modalias.

nvidia-common: transitional package for ubuntu-drivers-common

 This is a transitional package for ubuntu-drivers-common. You can remove it
 after upgrading.

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.
