Hi there,

I’m running ubuntu 22.04. If I run nvidia-smi I get

If I run

sudo prime-select nvidia

I get

Error: no integrated GPU detected.

The log upload didn’t work. Please try unzipping and attach as text file.

Thanks generix, just uploaded the unzipped file in the first post

The kernel drivers are loaded but the Xserver ignores the nvidia drivers so it’s using the modesetting driver and uses software rendering. Unfortunately, the xorg config files weren’t caught in the log. Please run
find /etc/X11 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d -name "*.conf" -print -exec cat '{}' \; >allconfig.txt
and attach the output file allconfig.txt

Looks fine, everything in place. Maybe some timing problem, please try embedding the nvidia driver into the initrd:

I did the procedure but still get the error while running prime-select

The nvidia driver is now working fine.
The error message from prime-select is expected since you only have one gpu, the nvidia.
