after kernel update i have problem with Nvidia card. Can't switch to nvidia. After i log in, i can see red square on bottom bar near date, wifi etc. It opens NVIDIA X Server Settings. Under PRIME Profiles Intel card is selected and there is option to select Nvidia card. Selecting Nvidia -> password -> popup that you need to relog -> relogin -> and still red square and Intel card selected. Line nothing happened.
now, i know lshw -c video says that driver for nvidia is nouveau but at the moment of executing lshw -c video command i switched in driver-manager back to nvidia, so i dont know why its still nouveau. ALSO before i tried nouveau, configuration line of nvidia card in lshw -c video command had no driver, looked like this:
Code: Select all
configuration: latency=0
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get purge bumblebee*
sudo apt-get purge bbswitch*
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
also disabled Secure Boot Mode (cuz somewhere i read taht it might be also issue)
if i try nvidia-settings from command line, NVIDIA X Server Settings opens but i get:
