Changelog

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.7.7) focal; urgency=medium

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py,
    UbuntuDrivers/kerneldetection.py,
    tests/ubuntu_drivers.py:
    - Rely on the linux-image metapackage to find the flavour and
      linux-modules.
      This is for cases such as linux-virtual, which depend on the
      "-generic" flavour.
    - Fix test case where the linux-modules for the ABI shouldn't have
      been available.

  [ Daniel Dadap ]
  * gpu-manager.c:
    - Add helper to remove /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d files.
      remove_prime_outputclass() and remove_offload_serverlayout() are
      basically the same function with different target filenames, so
      add a helper function and make both call into the new helper.
      Also give the new helper (and the original functions) a return
      type and value to inform callers of whether removal was successful.

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.

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.
