Since a recent update on ubuntu-drivers-common and nvidia driver I am unable to select the NVIDIA GPU through nvidia-settings. When I try to do so, all I obtain is a blank dialog box with a forbidden sign and an 'OK' button.
Before this update I was using the packages provided by ppa:darkxst/gdm- prime. Reading the comments above, I have edited the /etc/init/gpu-manager.conf file to add the 'or starting gdm' option but it did not change anything. What can I do ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-prime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262068 Title: nvidia-prime should support gdm also Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Triaged Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-prime” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gdm” source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-prime” source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” source package in Trusty: Confirmed Bug description: On Ubuntu GNOME we ship gdm by default, however nvidia-prime depends on lightdm. This means that 1. Anyone installing nvidia binary drivers will pull in nvidia-prime and subsequently lightdm. As a consequence of this they are also going to get the potentially confusing dconf pop-up asking them to choose a DM. 2. nvidia-prime probably won't work when using gdm I haven't looked to closely at how deeply integrated this is with lightdm, however we particularly don't want #1 happening, and it would be nice if #2 worked.
