I think it's what is called a muxless setup and in the BIOS I can decide to swith on/off the Optimus technology which from the extended reading I did should let the OS decide when to use the discrete graphics and when not (for power savings). It should be perfectly supported under Linux from what I read with the Nouveau FOSS drivers (I don't want to install proprietary Nvidia ones, nor Bumblebee). - I can install boot/install a fedora system and use the virtual consoles - out of the box without any problem but when I install Ubuntu 17.10 when - I try to switch to another virtual console I only get a blank screen - with a blinking cursor. I tried to switch off the Optimus setting in the - BIOS and then everything works all right, except that this way I'm just - using the discrete card at all times (wasting extra power and generating - extra heat!). + I can both boot/install a fedora26/27 system and use the virtual + consoles out of the box without any problem but when I try/install + Ubuntu 17.10 and switch to another virtual console I only get a blank + screen with a blinking cursor. I tried to switch off the Optimus setting + in the BIOS and then everything works all right, except that this way + I'm just using the discrete card at all times (wasting extra power and + generating extra heat!) and the laptop eventually freezes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722639 Title: no virtual consoles with hybrid graphics laptop (Intel + Nvidia/Optimus) during and after installation of Artful To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1722639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
