ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.9.3 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.9.3) jammy; urgency=medium

  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py,
    ubuntu-drivers:
    - Provide helper functions for NVIDIA on the desktop:
      o get_desktop_package_list()
      o nvidia_desktop_pre_installation_hook()
      o nvidia_desktop_post_installation_hook()
      The new functions, which are now used by ubuntu-drivers
      (only for the desktop i.e. "ubuntu-drivers install"),
      allow reusing the hardware detection and the customisations
      from ubuntu-drivers in other applications such as the
      Software Properties UIsi (LP: #1942208).
    - Add the "--recommended" option to the "list" command
      (LP: #1952147).
      This allows to show only the packages that will be
      installed using auto-detection i.e. one specific
      driver and its kernel module, instead of all the
      compatible drivers.
      This works with and without --gpgpu, yielding different
      results.

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.
