... 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.
That's far away of what my knowledge allows :-)
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.
I see, but I have no idea how to get that PCI-ID Hwinfo tells me so many things that I have no idea what to use :-) I uploaded a screenshot of the hardware infor screen: https://daniel-bauer.com/test/hwinfo_nvidia.jpg
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.
So, I guess, next step is to find out the PCI ID, then somehow put it into that script, and then look if it works... Can you help me: - how to find that PCI ID - how to put put it in that script (I mean which code to remove and which to add instead) ? Or, if meanwhile there are some solutions on how to run prime-select on 42.3, I be happy of course to hear about. Googling didn't help me. Thanks for further help!
