[Bug 1915534] Re: Please SRU nvidia-modprobe 460.32.03-1 (multiverse) from hirsute

[Erich Eickmeyer ]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Users of nvidia-smi in nvidia-utils-460 are running across this
+ issue:
+ 
+ /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe: unrecognized option: "-s"
+ 
+  * At this point, nvidia-smi is not returning the desired output.
+ 
+  * Description of nvidia-smi follows:
+ 
+ NVIDIA System Management Interface -- v460.32.03
+ 
+ NVSMI provides monitoring information for Tesla and select Quadro devices.
+ The data is presented in either a plain text or an XML format, via stdout or a file.
+ NVSMI also provides several management operations for changing the device state.
+ 
+ Note that the functionality of NVSMI is exposed through the NVML C-based
+ library. See the NVIDIA developer website for more information about NVML.
+ Python wrappers to NVML are also available.  The output of NVSMI is
+ not guaranteed to be backwards compatible; NVML and the bindings are backwards
+ compatible.
+ 
+ http://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-management-library-nvml/
+ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nvidia-ml-py/
+ Supported products:
+ - Full Support
+     - All Tesla products, starting with the Kepler architecture
+     - All Quadro products, starting with the Kepler architecture
+     - All GRID products, starting with the Kepler architecture
+     - GeForce Titan products, starting with the Kepler architecture
+ - Limited Support
+     - All Geforce products, starting with the Kepler architecture
+ 
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Install nvidia-utils-460 from the archive.
+ 
+  * Attempt to run nvidia-smi.
+ 
+  * Output reports error mentioned above, nvidia-modprobe is not working
+ as expected.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+  * This may or may not affect users of older Nvidia cards. Backporting
+ nvidia-modprobe on a RTX-2070 system running Focal returns desired
+ results.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * I would be open to questions from the Kernel team for this fix.
+ 
+ 
+ Original bug report (originally a backport request) follows:
+ 
  Please backport nvidia-modprobe 460.32.03-1 (multiverse) from hirsute to
  focal, groovy.
  
  Reason for the backport:
  ========================
  Currently, nvidia-smi in nvidia-utils-460 calls "nvidia-modprobe -s", but the following error occurs:
  
  /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe: unrecognized option: "-s"
  
  At this point, nvidia-smi is not returning the desired output.
  
  Testing:
  ========
  Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
  
  You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
  $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s hirsute -d focal nvidia-modprobe
  $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s hirsute -d groovy nvidia-modprobe
  
  Built in https://launchpad.net/~eeickmeyer/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
  
  * focal:
  [!] Package builds without modification
-     - Requires dropping debhelper-compat to 12 and Standards-Version to 4.5.0. This is trivial.
