[Bug 1993328] Re: nvidia-graphics-drivers-418-server FTBFS with linux 5.19

[Alberto Milone]

** Description changed:

- nvidia-graphics-drivers-418-server reached its EOL, however it is the
+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+  * nvidia-graphics-drivers-418-server reached its EOL, however it is the
  last driver supporting certain GPU families. For this reason, to give
  users some time to transition to newer GPUs, we would like to move the
  driver to multiverse for now.
  
- The driver should also be patched to be compatible with Kinetic's
- kernel.
+  * The driver should also be patched to be compatible with Kinetic and
+ Jammy's kernels.
+ 
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+  * Install Linux 5.19:
+ 
+    - In Jammy:
+      sudo apt install linux-image-unsigned-5.19.0-30-generic  linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04-edge linux-headers-5.19.0-30-generic
+ 
+    - In Kinetic:
+      sudo apt install linux-generic
+ 
+ * Install the nvidia driver from -proposed:
+   sudo apt install nvidia-driver-418-server
+ 
+ * Make sure that the driver builds correctly:
+   dkms status
+ 
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+  * In its current state, the driver does not build against Kinetic's kernel,
+    hence no regression is possible, in this sense.
+ 
+  * As for Jammy, the changes introduced by the patch are well contained,
+    and only apply when "LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(5, 18, 0)".
+    When using linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04-edge, this will be the first
+    case of the 418 driver working with it.
