I just upgraded from Ubuntu 24.04 to 24.10, as I had heard that Nvidia now worked with Wayland. I set my Nvidia to “Performance Mode”. Using nvidia-smi I only see gnome-shell accelerated, nothing else.
Nvidia works fine under Xorg.
Is this a Nvidia driver problem, a Ubuntu Wayland problem, or something else?
It’s an issue with Ubuntu’s prime-select. AFAIK, this only works with Xorg yet so setting intel/on-demand/performance doesn’t have any effect with Wayland (only the intel setting diables the nvidia gpu).
Thanks for your reply. However, both “prime-select” and “nvidia-settings” both show “Performance Mode” selected. Are you saying that even so, it doesn’t really work under Wayland?
I just noticed a new problem. On 24.10, when the Nvidia is in “Performance Mode”, under Xorg, I can’t open any folders on my desktop. When the Nvidia is in “On-Demand” mode, the desktop folders open fine. I reinstalled the Nvidia 560 drivers, no help. Any ideas?
I also just discovered that “plex-desktop”, and “Security Center” don’t work when in Performance Mode in Xorg. They work fine in Wayland in Performance Mode.
I answer repeatedly for @generix . Yes, nvidia-settings seems to be only for X11. In my 3D-simulation app this is good visible. Start in terminal (always without ') your 3D-app with ‘3Dapp’ and another time with ‘@__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia 3Dapp’. Then it shall be even visually easily visible.
