It seems that the nVidia driver are working now in trixie-backports. Turn on backports so we can have newer version of kernel. Signed-off-by: Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu) <liupa@google.com>
…SON API The previous way to download the artifacts doesn't work. We fix it by using the latest JSON API. And also make the script more verbose on error. Signed-off-by: Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu) <liupa@google.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
By doing so, it becomes much harder to predict which kernel version we'll end up with, given how frequently backports are updated. For example, we might make an unrelated change to the installer, but simply rebuilding it later could trigger an unexpected major kernel upgrade. In fact, I booted a QEMU VM using this installer and it actually installed kernel 7.0.13 (since 11 Jul 2026), rather than 6.18 as expected.
I'm still figuring out what a good approach would look like, but in the meantime, do you think this is a real concern?

We enable backports on Trixie so that we can install newer kernel.
Also we fix the unit tests because the download scripts needs to be updated.
