Nvidia Prime no longer working fully after update

Post by whinis »

I cannot pinpoint the exact update as I tend to update daily and have been using this laptop mostly for work. However I noticed a few days ago youtube running slowly and I didn't have a right-click option anymore in cinnamon to launch firefox with the nvidia gpu. Simultaneously I noticed the nvidia-prime applet had disappeared from the task bar. Attempting to start nvidia-settings gives a mostly white screen with a cancel and help button. I can launch Vulkan applications using environment variables

Code: Select all

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 vkcube
but not opengl

Code: Select all

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep vendor
Openfl gives an x server error

Code: Select all

$ inxi -Fxrz; echo -; lspci -nnk | grep -EA3 "3D|VGA"; echo -; ls /lib/modprobe.d/; echo -; dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia; echo -; mokutil --sb-state

So this fixed the applet and nvidia settings but not the right click menu or being able to run programs on opengl on demand

Code: Select all

nvidia-optimus-offload-glx glxgears
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  25
  Current serial number in output stream:  26

Re: Nvidia Prime no longer working fully after update

Remove Bumblebee: apt purge bumblebee* primus*

It appears there was some misconfiguration of the Nvidia driver. Both nvidia-driver-455 and 460 are listed as installed. Use this command to remove all Nvidia drivers and configuration files: sudo apt-get purge *nvidia*

Reboot and re-install the driver: apt install nvidia-driver-460 nvidia-prime-applet

That has fixed everything except the right click in cinnamon menu. I no longer have Run with Intel or Run with Nvidia context options

Possibly the recent updates to the nvidia-prime and ubuntu-drivers-common packages affected that feature. You can try downgrading those packages, but first create a Timeshift snapshot.

Use the instructions in this post:

I don’t have any other ideas if that doesn’t work, except a fresh installation.
