  • Does lsmod shot the nvidia module loaded ?
  • Does it work if you boot directly into Nvidia mode ?
  • Does it work if you set switching=none in the config file ?

Not the OP but have a very similar issue.

@rross101 restart in hybrid or intel mode and try switching over. If nothing changes grep dmesg for messages about the nvidia module and show the relevant commands and output.

Greetings, I have the similar problem. Hybrid and Intel only modes work fine. The nvidia mode doesn't work when I try to switch from one of those modes to nvidia I get the following .log:

Edit @Askannz should I open a new separate ticket/issue?

Sup folks. This case is 3+ years old, and a lot has changed(kernel, nvidia drivers and optimus-manager).

Please keep track of the optimus-manager-git package.

Cheers.
