The Nvidia icon is not in the system tray like it was before. Is there another place I can find it?
Or, is there a way I can install it separately?
Yes, I did reboot.

With all due respect, I can't help you. You insist on doing things that I haven't asked for. I'm sorry, but I'm not prepared to restart this a third time.Moosetek13 wrote: ⤴Sun Sep 02, 2018 12:38 am I installed the Nvidia Settings from Software Manager.
It does not start with bootup, and it has no option for switching between Intel and Nvidia like it did before.
Ok. I asked you to check if it was there, not install if it wasn't there. Let's continue.Moosetek13 wrote: ⤴Sun Sep 02, 2018 12:50 am I'm frustrated as well, and it's getting late. I'll come back tomorrow and see if you are willing to work with me a little more.
Perhaps I can follow your directions better with a fresh start.
nvidia-settings
can be run in Terminal or search the MENU for nvidiaCode: Select all
nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="$(nvidia-settings -q CurrentMetaMode -t|tr '\n' ' '|sed -e 's/.*:: \(.*\)/\1\n/g' -e 's/}/, ForceCompositionPipeline = On}/g')" > /dev/null
That seems to have helped.trytip wrote: ⤴Sun Sep 02, 2018 9:52 pm try this command in Terminal and test for screentear (the command is not permanent)Code: Select all

notear.sh
copy the command save. then rightclick on it, properties and make it executable. go to cinnamon settings startup and add the scriptWhile I was still looking around I came across this: https://www.pcsuggest.com/nvidia-optimus-ubuntu/Moosetek13 wrote: ⤴Sun Sep 02, 2018 5:36 pm catweazel, I thank you for all the trouble you went through.
For now I have restored a previous snapshot of before I started trying to update the nVidia driver from 390.48, and everything is back to normal.
I have the nVidia Settings back to normal as well.
inxi -G
then I can help you with the tearing, provided that the nVidia Settings application is working.Code: Select all
