I'm seeing what i think is a related problem using Ubuntu 20.04 and nvidia driver 440. IE default ubuntu 20.04 install from the ISO (and then updated).
My settings do not persist across reboots. (which is really annoying since I have a secondary display rotated. Tried running as sudo - it seems to persist, but doesn't take) ``` $sudo nvidia-settings [sudo] password for haydon: (nvidia-settings:51977): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 15:53:13.651: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** Message: 15:53:13.925: PRIME: No offloading required.
