UNRESOLVED - Broken gpu driver

General Help
#63

We are making progress, lets focus on the intel card

sudo prime-select intel

Create the file /usr/share/X11/org.conf.d/20-intel.conf

  1. sudo -i
  2. gedit /usr/share/X11/org.conf.d/20-intel.conf
  3. Add
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Integrated Driver"
    Driver "intel"
EndSection
  1. Save
#64

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT? And remove the quiet splash?

#65

Leave that part

Also reading on the nvidia forums for prime

#66

Ok brightness and internet controls are back and its using the integrated graphics, so I can't use the gpu?

#67

Yes we can, i want to fix that as well for you.

Can you check if the nvidia-x-server now starts

No, nothing happens

#69

Oke, we try something else.

Please try this:

  • add ‘nogpumanager’ kernel parameter
  • delete /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-offload.conf
  • create /etc/X11/xorg.conf with contents:
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "intel"
    Driver         "modesetting"
    BusID          "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
#70

The 11-nvidia-offload.conf file doesn't exist

Oke thats good,

Kerel parameter would like this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nogpumanager"

Not sure if you have more parameters added

sudo update-grub

#72

yes, I still have the splash added

#73

Oke after that splash add the nogpumanager

sudo upgrade-grub

Edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

#74

The file already exists

With

Do I leave the org.conf.d file?

#77

Yeah would not harm i guess (you can always rename it), also if this does not work you can revert it back.

Try to reboot

#78

It's back to no brightness settings and internet, graphics are back to llvm

#79

Oke, revert it back please.

This is frustrating ...

When you go to bios and revert the hybrid part what happens ?

#80

Agreed. I need to be somewhere at 6pm (my time), so you are on your own.:wink:

Including the changes in the xorg.conf file, everything works but the integrated graphics are still being used. The nvidia card is claimed though and the driver is still the nouveau one. Follow your guide again now that I have internet on the machine?

#82

Secure boot is disabled, but it still says latency=0 in the configuration
