Hi,
I just upgraded my asus laptop with intel/nvidia graphics from 42.1 to 42.3, all went well so far.
But when entering
prime-select nvidia
I get: ERROR unable to query GPU information
The message comes from nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info. As far as I can tell, it actually expects nvidia kernel module to be loaded (it tries to load it itself). So you may try to debug this utility until it works.
Looking at prime-select, it is using nvidia-xonfig only to determine PCI ID of nVidia card, so you ma actual hardcode them for debugging to see if it works otherwise.
The script runs anyway, I guess, because when I reboot at some point the screen with the boot messages begins to flicker heavily (I could not read the last message...). I had to restart and boot to runlevel 3, then entered "prime-sectect intel" and now I can boot normally - but of course only using the intel card.
prime-select is supposed to generate xorg.conf and enable nVidia specific GL libraries. You can check resulting configuration file and manually adjust it until it works.
I don't know which information you need to help me: please ask and I'll try to provide it.
Thanks for your help!
Daniel
Thank you for the explanations. I will see if my minimal knowledge leads to some results this weekend using your information...
