nvidia-435 is in eoan, linux-restricted-modules only builds against 430, ubiquity gives me the self-signed modules experience instead of using the Canonical-signed modules

I've got patches to add nvidia-435 to linux/l-r-m for eoan, will need to upload to a ppa for testing. They should be ready tormorrow.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Assign Seth Forshee during the desktop team meeting in #ubuntu-desktop on December 17th. If it turns out these assignments are incorrect we can reassign them.

I don't think any updates to nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 are necessary. I don't know whether ubuntu-drivers-common needs to be updated.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-eoan' to 'verification-done-eoan'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-eoan' to 'verification-failed-eoan'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

The ubuntu-drivers-common task here appears to be to change it to prefer the pre-built/signed drivers (linux-modules-nvidia-*) over the DKMS counterparts. I'd recommend at that point that we start seeding linux-modules-nvidia-[0-9]+-generic onto the desktop ISO instead of the DKMS counterparts, so the offline install experiences matches.

The Eoan Ermine has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
