[Touch-packages] [Bug 1528422] Re: Additional drivers reports the wrong driver in use
Edit: related to the above, I'm no longer able to use the 'Additional Drivers' GUI since it's locked onto the wrong thing and greyed out.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1528422] Re: Additional drivers reports the wrong driver in use
Another related issue: I manually installed the latest nvidia graphics driver (460.67) for my GPU (1080ti), tried it out, still choppy, reverted to nouveau, restarted, all good. However the 'additional drivers' pane is wrong again, saying I'm continuing to use a manually installed driver, when I'm using Nouveau. Screenshot attached. Will attach logs of whatever people need, upon request. ** Attachment added: "AdditionalDrivers.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1528422/+attachment/5480342/+files/AdditionalDrivers.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1528422 Title: Additional drivers reports the wrong driver in use Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: See attached screenshot - it's reporting the AMD driver is in use, while in reality it is the Intel driver.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1528422] Re: Additional drivers reports the wrong driver in use
Similar issue here: I was using kernel 5.4.0.42.46 with nvidia-drivers-440, installed 5.8.3, booted into the new kernel and the graphics were way worse. Software & Updates still has the radio button selected for nvidia, see attached, this looked terrible stretched across a 3440*1440 screen. but: hwinfo --gfxcard Driver Info #0: Driver Status: nvidiafb is not active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nvidiafb" Driver Info #1: Driver Status: nouveau is not active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nouveau" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Then, Selected nouveau driver, apply, hwinfo says both drivers still inactive, restarted, looks good (hi res), nvidia settings absent from start menu settings, nouveau radio button highlit in software & updates, hwinfo --gfxcard Driver Info #0: Driver Status: nvidiafb is not active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nvidiafb" Driver Info #1: Driver Status: nouveau is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nouveau" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #7 (PCI bridge) So nouveau is being used, graphics problem fixed, nvidia definitely the culprit of the graphics issues which had been plaguing me for about a year. I'll file a bug with them, however part of what took me so long to diagnose this was that I thought the nouveau drivers were broken since I could only get 1024*768. I spent hours trying to fix that, to no avail. Turns out there was nothing wrong with them, they just weren't selected. I didn't know this because I didn't think to check, I just believed the radio button. Feasibly the selected item is highlit until changed in the GUI or backend by the user, but it doesn't do an internal check (hwinfo or otherwise) to confirm that the driver it thinks is selected, is selected?
