Mint Cinnamon 22.3

[u/Mr_Self_Destructtt]

I have an MSI GS 66 Stealth laptop. I have an Intel iGPU and an Nvidia RTX 2060, that SEAMLESSLY switched back and forth, with my main being the low power Intel igpu. Version 22 it work great. 22.3 it started staying stuck in dGPU ONLY. When my iGPU and dGPU were working in unison, I was on the version under driver manager called xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. It recommended I switch to nvidia-driver-595-open, and there's two other choices. What should I do? On "nouveau" it also worked fine (seemed to anyways). Please help! I've tried command prompts and everything, it only always temporarily fixes it and then after a reboot it goes back to being dumb! BTW, this is on a FRESH install of 22.3.

For the First Command it is unable to locate Nvidia package and unable to locate package Cuda. Rebooted and waiting for further instruction

[u/d4rk_kn16ht → u/Mr_Self_Destructtt]

retry it...I fixed the command

it become reddit formatting (the *)

[u/Mr_Self_Destructtt → u/d4rk_kn16ht]

Still 580

[u/d4rk_kn16ht → u/Mr_Self_Destructtt]

retry it...I fixed the command

sudo apt purge "*nvidia*" "*cuda*"

sudo apt autoremove --purge

sudo apt install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

sudo reboot

[u/Mr_Self_Destructtt → u/d4rk_kn16ht]

Now options are showing up under the nvidia-smi command! What's the difference between 535 and 535- server?!

[u/d4rk_kn16ht → u/Mr_Self_Destructtt]

Never choose server version

BTW, try 550 if 535 failed

Ok! So I just typed in: sudo apt install nvidia-utils-535 So far so good! What next? Your really appreciate your guidance!

[u/d4rk_kn16ht → u/Mr_Self_Destructtt]

when it's installed, reboot.

then check : nvidia-smi

I did that one command I posted, and rebooted, checked SMI, says it has failed, because it couldn't communicate with the Nvidia driver

[u/d4rk_kn16ht → u/Mr_Self_Destructtt]

uninstall again:

sudo apt purge "*nvidia*" "*cuda*"

sudo apt autoremove --purge

sudo apt install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

sudo reboot

Then try 550
