According to the log there are two graphics cards on a desktop system. Jockey tries to offload rendering to the discrete card. This, however, should not happen on a desktop system, where I would expect users to use the NVIDIA card directly (and have the monitor connected to it).
When LP: #1259237 is approved, nvidia-prime will do the offloading only when dealing with a laptop. The ideal solution would be to disable the integrated card from the BIOS. We should probably also update Jockey so that it doesn't provide the nvidia driver on desktop systems with Intel+NVIDIA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222670 Title: [nVidia GTX645][10de:11c4] Unable to boot to desktop with nvidia-319 driver Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Bug description: CID: 201303-13031 Dell Alienware X51 According to bug 1199342, this video card should be supported by nvidia-graphics-drivers-319.
