ok, SUPER interesting -- when I force the intel profile to be PRIME, then I can safely boot with the enclosure attached(!), the systems gets through gdm, and I can login no problem. I suspect there is a driver problem we are chasing, and PRIME was just selecting the NVIDIA GPU for some reason and flailing ..' Hmm running into a bit of a snag : beadon@semiauto:~$ sudo nvidia-settings [sudo] password for beadon: ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded (nvidia-settings:3802): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 14:38:11.591: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** (nvidia-settings:3802): CRITICAL **: 14:38:11.592: ctk_powermode_new: assertion '(ctrl_target != NULL) && (ctrl_target->h != NULL)' failed ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file or the X server is not accessible.

At the moment, just a single display. The NVIDIA GPU is available across a Thunderbolt 3 link.

To show different behaviors, clicks, movement of windows, typing in a terminal, as running glxgears to show(get) the refresh rate of 5 frames per second. Is there some kind of heavy CPU-based communication happening for gnome-shell ? I am seeing the CPU usage spike to 90+% when simple movements are done on screen. However, the nvidia-smi tools reports that it truly is attached to the right GPU, the PID is correct. Please see the strace for further information.
