Confusing messaging around nvidia-display-driver-dch-np disabling the NVIDIA Display Container service

Open Pyroglyph opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

Currently, upon installing nvidia-display-driver-dch-np, the user will see a message like this:

The NVIDIA display driver installer installs and enables the NVIDIA Display Container LS service, which
is required for the NVIDIA Control Panel application but also contains telemetry components.
To disable this functionality and prevent it from being re-enabled on future updates, disable the
service using the following commands:
$ Stop-Service NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem
$ Set-Service NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem -StartupType Disabled

This tells the user how to disable the Display Container service, implying that the installer doesn't do it for you, but it does.

This message should be changed to tell users how to re-enable the service, since it is already disabled by default. Either that, or stop disabling the service so the message is accurate.
