Hi Everyone.
I’m quite new to Linux. I recently installed Pop!_OS, and now im facing issues with not being able to use my GPU. I have a GTX 1050. I use Hybrid Graphics and from what i can tell the GPU never gets used.
I am unable to lauch applications using the dedicated graphics card.
I have looked at multiple threads on some of the same issues. I get an error when running “nvidia-settings”:
(nvidia-settings:11214): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 10:52:17.763: g_object_unref: assertion ‘G_IS_OBJECT (object)’ failed
** (nvidia-settings:11214): WARNING **: 10:52:17.800: PRIME: Failed to execute child process “/usr/bin/prime-supported” (No such file or directory)
** Message: 10:52:17.800: PRIME: is it supported? no
I have tried reinstalling nvidia drivers multiple times and ensured that secure boot is disabled.
Following some threads i used “nvidia-smi” and got: (Sorry for bad formatting)
