[02:54] <handsome_feng> Hi, kc2bez, dbungert, bdmurray, franksmcb, thanks a lot for your testing  on Ubuntu Kylin. 💐
[06:49] <ginggs> mwhudson: i suspect some of them were already FTBFS due to gcc 11.  I'm going to compare those to the FTBFS report

[08:15] <kc2bez> Of course handsome_feng happy to help out.

[09:40] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  i'm not sure how it could be a race condition; because nvidia driver is linked in a postinst; and initramfs is rebuilt as a trigger at the end of transaction. note that during apt run all calls to update-initramfs are diverted to a trigger.
[09:40] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  nvidia driver postinst should interest the initramfs trigger it is harmless / correct thing to do.

[13:43] <rbasak> slyon: success. Thank you for trying it! https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdbs/log/
[13:45] <slyon> rbasak: uhh, nice! Kudos to you for putting it all together :)
[15:07] <Eickmeyer> xnox: I agree, but the question is why we're not rebuilding initramfs for *all* installed kernels ala "update-initramfs -u -k all".
[15:10] <Eickmeyer> xnox: bug 1947043
[15:10] <ubottu> Bug 1947043 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (Ubuntu Impish) "nvidia drivers do not update initramfs properly" [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1947043
[15:11] <Eickmeyer> xnox: This is something the company I work for and I have identified, not just me as an individual. :)
[15:12] <Eickmeyer> xnox: Long-story short, a recent kernel upgrade coupled with nvidia driver upgrade at the same time in people's systems created this condition where their nvidia drivers failed to function following a reboot, and this was identified as the culpret.
[15:12] <Eickmeyer> s/people's/customer's
[15:17] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  the choice to rebuild current initrd only, or all initrds is scary.
[15:17] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  we have had regression in e.g. busybox; and then you don't want to rebuild all initrds, cause then none of them will work.
[15:18] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  and also we have not been rebuilding many initrds due to changes of things that are vendored into it. I.e. i think there have been things that are included into initrd (without their knowledge) but do not update the initrd
[15:18] <xnox> i.e. security upgrades of shared libraries that are linked to binaries in the initrd i don't think currently universally trigger initramfs rebuilds.
[15:24] <Eickmeyer> xnox: True, but it's really disheartening when we're receiving support emails that their system has broke because the nvidia driver and kernel updated in the same "apt update". We'd rather err on the side of usability.
[15:24] <Eickmeyer> The fix has 90% been "update-initramfs -u -k all".
[15:28] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  how did the machines ended up with nvidia dkms, instead of pre-signed lrm modules?
[15:28] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  did you run ubuntu-drivers to install matching pre-built and pre-signed nvidia modules _instead of_ having dkms instaled?
[15:32] <Eickmeyer> xnox: They install nvidia-drivers-470. They're running focal, and we preinstall for machines that ship.
[15:34] <Eickmeyer> xnox: The flavor is Kubuntu in this case.
[15:47] <Eickmeyer> xnox: nvidia-drivers-470 pulls-in the dkms modules.
[15:48] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  that's the wrong way to install nvidia-drivers which breaks things =/
[15:49] <Eickmeyer> xnox: Isn't that what ubunutu-drivers does?
[15:49] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  one must use ubuntu-drivers to install, cause then it will not install dkms; and install the prebuilt & presigned kernel modules that are updated in lock step
[15:49] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  no it finds the correct meta to install prebuilt drivers; and it configures nvidia prime; and configures support for power management of nvidia gpus; and makes things work on boot
[15:50] <Eickmeyer> xnox: Noted, I'll figure out how to implement this for our customers.
[15:50] <xnox> i.e. even installing things that $ ubuntu-drivers list => is not enough
[15:50] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  i.e. $ ubuntu-drivers list
[15:50] <xnox>  for me offers
[15:50] <xnox> nvidia-driver-470, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-generic-hwe-20.04)
[15:50] <xnox> without having dkms, becuase prebuilt modules linux-modules-nvidia-470-generic-hwe-20.04 will be used
[15:51] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  and ubuntu-drivers install also configures nvidia-prime and power management
[15:51] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  thus one should always do ubuntu-drivers install to get the right set of nvidia for the right gpu and the right config that affects initramfs.
[15:52] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  note this is supported by cloud-init too
[15:52] <xnox> can be preseeded in ubiquity and maas
[15:52] <xnox> and used in the clouds too
[15:53] <Eickmeyer> xnox: I'll relay this to the CTO, he has historically not been keen to trust processes he hasn't developed.
[15:57] <vorlon> LocutusOfBorg: no worries, just wanted to draw attention to it to someone who might be able to answer authoritatively :)
[16:17] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  using ubuntu-drivers is the only way to have nvidia drivers, signed with Canonical keys, possible to use with SecureBoot on, and with support for nvidia-prime, improved power management, and ability to dynamically switch from/to nvidia drivers, and is the correct thing to do on laptops, desktops, servers, cloud.
[16:18] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  and you still have ability to choose which series you are after, if one doesn't want to use the latest recommended one. But note that you will remain supported as things are rolled over.
[16:19] <Eickmeyer> xnox: I'm noticing that it sets to on-demand mode, and historically that mode has been problematic for our customers, we've recommended nvidia mode since most of our customers are data scientists for AI and deep learning.
[16:22] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  we enable the modes that we have worked with nvidia to provide. Note if you want drivers not for UI/Graphics, but for AI/ML only, you can opt into -server variant of the drivers. Those are only menat to be used as gpgpu accelerator without using nvidia for graphics.
[16:22] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  this improves the ML/AI performance without affecting (wasting) gpu for Ubuntu Desktop Gui
[16:23] <Eickmeyer> xnox: The reason we haven't gone with the -server variant is that we want people to be able to do both, so that wouldn't work for our use case.
[16:23] <xnox> -server has a lot less depenedencies, does not install many utils, and is what we use in our k8s deployments on MAAS and Public Cloud k8s offerings.
[16:24] <xnox> Eickmeyer:  if you need/want/may have both, please use ubuntu-drivers with on-demand, as that's the only way Ubuntu and nVidia supports things for recent cards.
[16:24] <Eickmeyer> The computers we sell are laptops.
[16:25] <xnox> all Canonical Certified machines are configured with nvidia graphics drivers as installed with ubuntu-drivers in ondemand mode; and it is also the default way things are configured when installing nvidia drivers using nvidia.com scripts.
[16:25] <Eickmeyer> xnox: Good to know, we're working on getting Canonical certification.
