There are two setups where the solution is with my setup (NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M], laptop with nvidia and intel): - Use Wayland with nouveau drivers: performance OK. - Use Xorg with nvidia drivers with kernel parameter "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" (see @tim-tim-richardson++'s remark). prime is set to nvidia (as default when you install the binary drivers).
What doesn't work (black or too slow): - nvidia drivers. - nvidia drivers with intel selected by prime. - nouveau drivers on Xorg. Here are the more expanded instructions. Be sure to know what you do, you won't loose files, but you may make your system unbootable if you type an error. 1. Make sure nvidia is not blacklisted. E.g. remove bumblebee. Have a look in /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/*: $ sudo apt-get remove --purge bumblebee $ grep nvidia /etc/modules /etc/modprobe.d/* "blacklist nvidia" is what's mostly used. 2. Add "modeset=1" to grub: $ sudo vi /etc/default/grub (or sudo nano /etc/default/grub) Add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE line (with the quotes): GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvidia-drm.modeset=1" Activate the changes: $ sudo update-grub 4. Install Nvidia drivers: $ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall $ sudo prime-select nvidia 5. Reboot Be warned that modeset=1 disabled the virtual consoles (ctl+alt+f<nr>). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752053 Title: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1752053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
