[Bug 1872124] Re: Please integrate ubuntu-drivers --gpgpu into Ubuntu Server

[Lee Trager]

MAAS contains a way to automatically install drivers. Every region has a
file, /etc/maas/drivers.yaml, which specifies drivers which should be
automatically installed. I don't have access to any test hardware but I
*think* this should work. One thing I noticed is there isn't a meta
package for the nVidia driver which points to the latest version for
each Ubuntu release. We would need that before adding this to MAAS.

Bug description:
  Could subiquity provide an option in the UI to install and execute
  ubuntu-drivers-common on the target? The use case I'm interested in is
  an "on-rails" installation of Nvidia drivers for servers being
  installed for deep learning workloads.
