Comment 25 for bug 1960633

Bionic (HWE) verification *failure*:

root@bionic-vm:~# uname -a
Linux bionic-vm 5.4.0-107-generic #121~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 24 17:21:33 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

No linux-modules-extra package is installed but virtio_gpu cannot be loaded:

root@bionic-vm:~# modprobe virtio_gpu
modprobe: FATAL: Module virtio_gpu not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-107-generic

Same for vmwgfx:

root@bionic-vm:~# modprobe vmwgfx
modprobe: FATAL: Module vmwgfx not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-107-generic

The modules are NOT provided by the linux-modules packages:

root@bionic-vm:~# grep -E '(virtio-gpu|vmwgfx)\.ko' /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-modules-5.4.0-10{5,7}-generic.list
root@bionic-vm:~#

The relevant kernel modules are still shipped in the linux-modules-extra package:

root@bionic-vm:~# apt-get install linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-107-generic
root@bionic-vm:~# grep -E '(virtio-gpu|vmwgfx)\.ko' /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-107-generic.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-107-generic.list:/lib/modules/5.4.0-107-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtio-gpu.ko
