Kde Neon - Nvidia 418 - prime-select

Sat Mar 30, 2019 11:11 am
Anybody knows that issue?

I installed nvidia 418 driver by driver repo. Everythink is normal when I used 390 driver in offical repo.

I can use my intel gpu switch naturaly. But when I tried to switch nvidia gpu "nvidia-smi" gonna work but it isnt rendering anythink and nvidia-settings give me only 2 option (Select intel , nvidia screen). If I logout and login one more time everythink is gonna working.

It isnt weird ?

Possibly related:


All notebook NVIDIA GPUs support power management, both S3 (also known as "Standby" or "Suspend to RAM") and S4 (also known as "Hibernate", "Suspend to Disk" or "SWSUSP"). Power management is system-specific and is dependent upon all the components in the system; some systems may be more problematic than other systems.

Most recent notebook NVIDIA GPUs also support PowerMizer, which monitors application work load to adjust system parameters to deliver the optimal balance of performance and battery life. However, PowerMizer is only enabled by default on some notebooks. Please see the known issues below for more details.

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L ... ssues.html
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L ... own-issues

The package nvidia-smi is only for monitoring GPU usage by your Nvidia card if proprietary drivers are installed. nvidia-prime gives the option to choose between Nvidia and Intel HD through nvidia-settings, but switching requires that you log out/reboot so that it can restart. Keeping the Nvidia card on is not too big of an issue because it will underclock itself when it's not needed.

It may be that either

the "sddm"- display manager's xserver
or
Plasma's xserver is not properly reset/restarted

after logging out of the desktop.

Code: Select all

This output is the man-page from FreeBSD,
because I have no KDE neon available, right now.


$ man Xserver | ul | sed -nE '/\-terminate...$|\-noreset...$/,/^$/p'

       -noreset
               prevents a server reset when the last client connection is closed.
               This overrides a previous -terminate command line option.

       -terminate
               causes the server to terminate at server reset, instead of
               continuing to run.  This overrides a previous -noreset command line
               option.



All xservers should do/have "-terminate".

I understand but why with nvidia390 driver everything is normal?
Also on kubuntu 18.10 there is no problem.

"Installed nvidia418 by graphic-driver ppa"

1) How exactly?

2) Is this compatible with "Ubuntu 18.04 LTS"?

I have the same problem too. My graphics card is GeForce 820M and this works only with nvidia-driver-390. If I install 396 or higher and do nvidia-settings it says "NVIDIA driver is not loaded". Did you find the solution?
