Nvidia-settings in the terminal yields: ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

Graphics / Linux Linux

I am on a fresh install of pop os, I choose the open source drivers since I have a dell inspiron 15 7000 gaming with intel integrated graphics and a 1050mobile GPU. After the fresh installation on the open source drivers I then used this command to get the nvidia drivers, as per recommended on the pop os website:

sudo apt-get install system76-driver-nvidia

I used this command to switch to nvidia graphics mode:

sudo system76-power graphics nvidia

after that it told me to reboot the pc.

Now when open the nvidia settings with the terminal this is what I am seeing a blank window:

I enter:
nvidia-settings

ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system


(nvidia-settings:4000): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 14:49:04.547: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

** (nvidia-settings:4000): WARNING **: 14:49:04.549: PRIME: Failed to execute child process “/usr/bin/prime-supported” (No such file or directory)

Here is my bug report:

This has me stumped, thanks in advance to anyone who figures this out.
Also I am a brand new linux user so I really don’t know all the terminology yet.

looks like the gpu is broken, please double-check by using Windows.
