[Bug 1959362] Re: "Launch using dedicated graphics card" option absent (nvidia, proprietary drivers, on-demand PRIME mode)

[Ken VanDine]

I've confirmed that nvidia-470 is getting installed in jammy, not
nvidia-495.  AFAIK this is a bug, I thought nvidia-495 was in jammy?
Without it we don't get a wayland session with nvidia.

Title:
  "Launch using dedicated graphics card" option absent (nvidia,
  proprietary drivers, on-demand PRIME mode)

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Invalid
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Device: Dell Precision 5500 with discrete nvidia Quadro T1000 Mobile GPU
  Image: Jammy daily (20220126 build)

  Test steps
  ==========

  Secure Boot enabled

  Installation options:

  - used ubiquity (not the new flutter installer)
  - normal installation
  - checked "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats"
  - left "Configure Secure Boot" checked
  - Setup a password for Secure Boot MOK enrollment
  - Used "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" option

  After installation completes, the device reboots and I enroll the MOK
  in the UEFI BIOS.

  At first boot, the default GNOME session is "Ubuntu" (not "Ubuntu on
  Wayland"), which seems to be expected given that I am using NVidia
  proprietary drivers.

  Once logged in, nvidia-settings and GNOME Settings About screen both
  show that the GPU is available. It is set in "On-Demand" in nvidia-
  settings.

  $ switcherooctl 
  Device: 0
    Name:        Intel® UHD Graphics
    Default:     yes
    Environment: DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_00_02_0

  Device: 1
    Name:        NVIDIA Corporation TU117GLM [Quadro T1000 Mobile]

  --------------------

  Expected result
  ===============

  When right-clicking on an icon in the launcher (for instance Firefox
  or Files), a "Launch using dedicated graphics card" option is
  available and launches the selected software using Nvidia GPU.

  Actual result
  =============

  However, there is no "Launch using dedicated graphics card" option
  available when right-clicking on an application launcher on the left.
