[Bug 1877727] Re: Nvidia dGPU active despite prime-select set to Intel card
Update: I have reinstalled Kubuntu on the same laptop, but did not click "Install third-party software for graphics and WiFi hardware and additional media formats" during installation. I then manually added the proprietary Nvidia 390 driver after installation. When on prime-select intel, powertop now reports a discharge of 2.7 W, suggesting that the nvidia card is now turned off. The workaround was successful, indicating that the bug is in the installation process and not prime-select itself.

[Bug 1877727] Re: Nvidia dGPU active despite prime-select set to Intel card
I can confirm this bug. I am currently on Kubuntu 20.04, on a Dell XPS L502x. I am using the 390xx Nvidia driver and the 8086:0116 Intel driver. My 'nvidia-prime' package is 0.8.14. I checked "Install third- party software for graphics and WiFi hardware and additional media formats" during installation, and even when I use prime-select to switch to my Intel drivers, my power consumption is still around 22 W. I have not tried reinstalling Kubuntu without installing third-party drivers at startup, and then manually adding them after the installation is complete. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877727 Title: Nvidia dGPU active despite prime-select set to Intel card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1877727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1765363] Re: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card
I am also affected by this bug. I am on Kubuntu 20.04 on a Dell XPS L502x. When I am on my Intel card, my computer reports my consumption as around 22 W. I checked my 'nvidia-prime' package, and it is 0.8.14. According to Vasyl, the bug should be fixed in this version, but unfortunately it is not, at least not for me. Please fix this bug, as the excessive power consumption essentially renders prime-select useless. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765363 Title: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1765363/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
