UNRESOLVED - Broken gpu driver

General Help
#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

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

#83

Zorin have Kernel 5.11_43

#84

You can try that.

#85

Did that, but the configuration still says nouveau and latency=0 even though secure boot is disabled

Can you recheck something for me Broken gpu driver - #63 by Michel

Your file in that location?

I wrote /usr/share/X11/org.conf.d
It should be /usr/share/X11/org.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Edited title confirming no resolution.

Hi all,

Sorry for being silent for a while. Other stuff like work came in the way so I haven't had time to continue the thread. The issue of the no internet and many other essential settings were gone for a while, but kept reappearing. After doing a clean reinstall of zorin, I was back at the beginning. The graphics card issue still wasn't solved but atleast the computer was usable. But now I need to use the graphics card, so the day has come to switch back to windows. Zorin just gives me too many problems which I don't have time for. And zorin is supposed to be the easy linux os.

Thank you all for the help,
Tom
