Cannot change to intel
First: Thanks a lot for the effort to program this piece of software. I'm absolutely in need of this and I don't have the skills to do it by myself. Thank you.
The background
- HP ZBook 15v G5 (GPU: Intel + Nvidia Quadro P600)
- nouveau causes a very unstable system → blacklisted nouveau and installed proprietary Nvidia drivers instead (rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver)
- Driver works great, super stable system
The issue
- the external GPU (Nvidia Quadro P600) is always on and quickly drains my battery
- I rarely need the external GPU (only when working with CAD), but when I need it, I depend on it
→ I would like to disable the Nvidia card and enable it again, when I need to.
I installed the package as described, then I do:
sudo fedora-prime-select intel
which gives:
Successfully switched to intel. Please logout for changes to take effect.
Logging out & in or rebooting won't change anything:
glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer string'
gives
OpenGL renderer string: Quadro P600/PCIe/SSE2
@xEt3 nope, sorry, didn't work on it, yet. So I have my nvidia GPU all time on and live with short battery life. Instead I found this lately. I may set up a test system and try it out. Nouveau caused a very unstable system in my case. I need my laptop every day. Never touch a running system :)
@xEt3 just found this fork: https://github.com/wildtruc/nvidia-prime-select Seems to be active and up to date. FedoraPrime has only been tested for Fedora 22 & 23. As I'm on 30, this might be the source of the issue described above.
