The symptom:
When I purge then install the activate NVidia drivers (430 and 440 tried so far) and then reboot, the computer shows a black screen. I can’t activate a console with alt+ctrl+F6 (or the other equivalents). The machine has to be restarted the traditional way (i.e. by pressing on the power button until it powers off). To get to a console, I have to repower the machine, hit esc when the machine loads up to the BIOS, enter grub, enter the advanced options, put in nomodeset, reboot computer, select “intel” and then reboot again. I can then enter the GUI as per normal but without any NVidia drivers active.
This is reproducible.
Other symptoms:
Even with an NVidia driver selected, no game I run to test it out sees the discreet graphics card. It only sees the APU.
I cannot run nvidia-settings. It gives me:
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
A short description of specifics:
-
ASUS-TUF Gaming laptop:
AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, AMD Raven APU, GeForce 1650 GTX discreet graphics card. I’ve only had this machine for 3 weeks so it’s a fairly fresh install. The graphics drivers did not work from the start, as soon as I put Ubuntu on it. -
Drivers tried:
NVidia 430 and 440 (currently 440 since the 430 that came by default did not work either) -
OS:
Ubuntu 18.04 with a kernel recently upgraded to 5.0 -
Other graphics drivers:
Xorg and the Mesa APU drivers -
Steps taken to reproduce this problem:
- purge all NVidia
- purge ppa
- reboot
- set ppa
- upgrade apt
- install graphics driver
- reboot
- check to see if installed then activate with prime-select
- test in some game if it sees the right graphics card
- reboot or shut down comp (black screen of death when reboot)
- Steps taken to try to solve this problem:
- remove xorg.conf and have nvidia-xorg recreate it
- add custom xorg.conf that tells Linux that the GeForce must be the main GPU and put in modesetting option in the AMD APU config
- blacklist Nouveau, make sure NVidia is not blacklisted by removing any blacklist-nvidia files
- try different mode settings in Grub
- updated kernel
- checked on SecureBoot in BIOS: it is off
- a bunch of stuff I’m probably forgetting since I’ve tried so many things

NVidia Bug Report coming soon.
It just seems like there is a conflict between the Raven and the GeForce with the Raven always winning out no matter what I try. Not sure how to get these two things to play nice.
NOTE: apologies for the mishmash of French and English in the logs.
