Because open source drivers use different environment variables for
switching. This bug is about proprietary Nvidia.
** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
** Changed in: switcheroo-control (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
** Summary changed:
- switcherooctl and "Launch using Discrete Graphics Card" don't work in Wayland
sessions with Nvidia GPUs
+ switcherooctl and "Launch using Discrete Graphics Card" don't work in Wayland
sessions with Nvidia drivers
** Description changed:
switcherooctl and "Launch using Discrete Graphics Card" don't work in
- Wayland sessions with Nvidia GPUs.
+ Wayland sessions with Nvidia drivers.
Judging by the output of `switcherooctl`, it looks like it only knows
how to switch GLX (Xorg sessions) and not EGL (Wayland sessions). This
seems to be confirmed by the fact that GLX apps like Google Chrome are
correctly launched on the discrete GPU. Just not native Wayland EGL
apps.
