I am trying to install nvidia-driver (440) on my Ubuntu on my laptop. After a lot of failed attempts to install drivers properly I followed this instruction, which seemed good: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1050423/cannot-get-nvidia-graphics-card-to-work-on-ubuntu-18-04 Unfortunately, this doesn…

Please follow this: delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf make sure nvidia-prime is installed (sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-prime) switch to nvidia (sudo prime-select nvidia) remove stray blacklist files (sudo rm /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf) update the in…

@chemicalkosek I believe you then attached the wrong logfile, it was from Febuary 26th and contained traces of a runfile and an xorg.conf.

I’m very sorry, you’re right, I was checking others reports and mistakenly attached them. Here’s the correct one: nvidia-bug-report.log (982.6 KB)

@chemicalkosek Please delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel-graphics.conf and remove the nomodeset parameter

It worked! Thank you very much! Btw that TearFree never worked on the Intel with Nvidia drivers installed anyway. It did work without them though! The only thing which worked for fixing tearing is Force Composition Pipeline, but then again it only works on the external HDMI display. I kinda accep…

You’ll have to enable prime sync for that, setting the kernel parameter nvidia-drm.modeset=1

@generix , one more interesting thing , even before creating this file, I was not able to get inside os at all now (i guess since we deleted that display manager file), even if i try with nomodeset or acpi=off , i cannot get into os. Now the only way to run commands is with acpi=off, run commands on…

Holy moly, it works now and no Composition Pipeline needed! :D My 2 year misery is over. Do you have a BuyMeACoffee or something? :)

@nishant.rajvanshi17 The display-manager is disabled to keep the Xserver from interfering. If I understood you correctly, without acpi=off you can’t even reach the text console? Please run after a boot without it sudo journalctl -b-1 |grep kernel >journal.txt and attach journal.txt or upload it t…

Hello @generix , sorry i got a little confused. The only way i can get to the terminal now, is with kernel parameter : acpi=off . So would it serve the purpose, if i boot with acpi=off, get inside tty, and then run this journal cmd?
