For anyone who is looking for a solution to their problem with newer Nvidia cards and the regression that you need to reboot to switch graphics: https://github.com/matthieugras/Prime-Ubuntu-18.04
I solved the problem by using bbswitch instead of nouveau to switch off the graphics cards and communication to a socket of a simple Rust program which kills the Xserver, and unloads the nvidia kernel modules without having to reboot. -- 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
