Title:
Cannot open nvidia-settings on pc with a hybrid device (or use prime-
select), missing python
Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
You would see -
$ nvidia-settings
** Message: PRIME: Requires offloading
** Message: PRIME: is it supported? yes
** (nvidia-settings:1848): ERROR **: PRIME error: Failed to execute child
process “/usr/bin/prime-select” (No such file or directory)
Trace/breakpoint trap
Additionally if trying to run prime-select you'd see -
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/prime-select: No such file or directory
One would need to go
python3 /usr/bin/prime-select intel
This is because the python package has been removed from image & isn't
installed by either nvidia-settings or nvidia-prime.
Please adjust this packages to either use python3 or dep to python
