Note: Nvidia-Settings gives the following error and then opens a small empty window with no configurations
but can’t get it to work and load with configuration of the NVIDIA GPUs
nvidia-settings
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
(nvidia-settings:5061): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 12:39:58.267: g_object_unref: assertion ‘G_IS_OBJECT (object)’ failed
** Message: 12:39:58.273: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort
** Message: 12:39:58.273: PRIME: is it supported? no
///----------------------------------
i have tried everything i can think of, Googled a million solutions and nothing seems to work for Nvidia-settings command.
i have One Onboard Integrated ASPEED graphic card and 8 x Nvidia GTX TITAN X (Maxwell) on PCI-E Slots .
i use only one monitor which is usually connected to the ASPEED integrated graphic card when working at the DataCenter otherwise there is no actual monitors connected
on the MultiGPUs ( headless) . I use all Nvidia GPUs for Compute Only and NOT for Display.
**Is there a reason Nvidia-settings would not work in this case? what might be wrong or what am i missing? **
