As per LP: #1942307 we now set on-demand as the default. This however, causes "prime-select on-demand", called by ubuntu-drivers, not to even try to detect RTD3 and to enable it, since "on-demand" is already set.
We cannot make informed choices about RTD3 in the postinstallation script of nvidia-prime, therefore we should simply drop the check that prime-select makes to abort if the new profile is determined to be the same as the current profile. |

[Impact]
* Ubuntu will set GPU mode to performance as default which may use more power
* User can't use GPU for other purpose (eg: deep-learning) if RTD3 is not supported
* According to Nvidia README, the RTD3 doesn't support on non-laptop machine
[Test Plan]
* Install 20.04.3 with "Third-party packages". After the installation, reboot the system. Execute "prime-select query" should get "on-demand"
* On non-laptop machine. Can set GPU mode to on-demand
* On laptop with GPU in runtime PM support list. Set GPU mode to on-demand and Nvidia driver is loaded with "NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02"
[Where problems could occur]
* on-demand mode supported after nvidia driver 450. And focal does not have nvidia driver lower than 450.
* With GPU supported RTD3 not able enable runtime PM on non-laptop. But based on the Nvidia README, this case shall not happened.
[Other Info]
Changelogs:
nvidia-prime (0.8.16~0.20.04.2) focal; urgency=medium
[ Jeremy Szu ]
* Set on-demand mode as default nvidia mode (LP: #1942307)
[ Alberto Milone ]
* prime-select:
- Detect chassis type and enable RTD3 only
on laptops (LP: #1942788).
- on-demand mode doesn't need to depend on
RTD3 (LP: #1942789).
- Use bootvga detection when last_gfx_boot
is not available.
- Don't check the current profile when setting
a profile (LP: #1946476).
- Catch BrokenPipeError.
- Use bootvga detection when last_gfx_boot is
not available.

[Steps to reproduce]
1. Install 20.04.3 with "Third-party packages" on a system which containing a RTD3 supported nvidia card.
2. After the installation, press enter to reboot system
3. prime-select query
[Expected result]
on-demand
[Actual result]
performance
---
It's because ubiquity launches `ubuntu-drivers install --packages-list ...` in live system but install each package to target storage.
When installing nvidia-prime, the preinst set "on" to "/etc/prime-discrete" which will be referred by gpu-manager. The gpu-manager will set to performance mode.
After confirming with Alberto on Mattermost, since we don't have a nvidia driver which lower than 450 version since focal.
I think we are ok to switch to on-demand mode.

* According to Nvidia README, the RTD3 doesn't support on non-laptop machine
[Test Plan]
* Install Ubuntu, and then execute 'ubuntu-drivers install' to install GPU driver. After the installation, reboot the system. Execute "prime-select query" should get "on-demand"
* On non-laptop machine. Can set GPU mode to on-demand
* On laptop with GPU in runtime PM support list. Set GPU mode to on-demand and Nvidia driver is loaded with "NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02"
[Where problems could occur]
* on-demand mode combined two features which are GPU offloading and RTD3. Nvidia driver lower then 450 (nvidia-driver-390) does not supported RTD3 and only have GPU offloading feature.
* With GPU supported RTD3 not able enable runtime PM on non-laptop. But based on the Nvidia README, this case shall not happened.

[Steps to reproduce]
1. Install 20.04.3 with "Third-party packages" on a system which containing a RTD3 supported nvidia card.
2. After the installation, press enter to reboot system
3. prime-select query
[Expected result]
on-demand
[Actual result]
performance
---
It's because ubiquity launches `ubuntu-drivers install --packages-list ...` in live system but install each package to target storage.
When installing nvidia-prime, the preinst set "on" to "/etc/prime-discrete" which will be referred by gpu-manager. The gpu-manager will set to performance mode.
After confirming with Alberto on Mattermost, since we don't have a nvidia driver which lower than 450 version since focal.
I think we are ok to switch to on-demand mode.
---
[Impact]
* Ubuntu will set GPU mode to performance as default which may use more power
* User can't use GPU for other purpose (eg: deep-learning) if RTD3 is not supported
* According to Nvidia README, the RTD3 doesn't support on non-laptop machine
[Test Plan]
* Install Ubuntu, and then execute 'ubuntu-drivers install' to install GPU driver. After the installation, reboot the system. Execute "prime-select query" should get "on-demand"

As per LP: #1942307 we now set on-demand as the default. This however, causes "prime-select on-demand", called by ubuntu-drivers, not to even try to detect RTD3 and to enable it, since "on-demand" is already set.
We cannot make informed choices about RTD3 in the postinstallation script of nvidia-prime, therefore we should simply drop the check that prime-select makes to abort if the new profile is determined to be the same as the current profile.
