Public bug reported: The different power profiles require loading the nvidia drivers with different options (or blacklisting them, in case of intel mode).
We need to call update-initramfs whenever we switch to a different profile, or things may fall out sync, resulting in a failure. The update-initramfs command takes a few seconds, therefore we also need to provide feedback, so that users know that they have to wait for the operation to complete. For this reason, prime-select will provide a spinner on the command line, and nvidia-settings will show a progress dialog. ** Affects: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: Fix Released ** Affects: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: Fix Released ** Affects: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: High Status: In Progress ** Affects: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: High Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: In Progress ** Affects: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: High Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: In Progress ** Affects: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: High Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: New ** Affects: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: High Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: In Progress ** Affects: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: High Assignee: Alberto Milone (albertomilone) Status: In Progress ** Also affects: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone) ** Changed in: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Focal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone) ** Changed in: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Groovy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone) ** Changed in: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Bionic) Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone) ** Changed in: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Groovy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone) ** Changed in: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone) ** Changed in: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu Focal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915003 Title: Always update the initramfs when changing power profile Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-settings package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-prime source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in nvidia-settings source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in nvidia-prime source package in Focal: In Progress Status in nvidia-settings source package in Focal: New Status in nvidia-prime source package in Groovy: In Progress Status in nvidia-settings source package in Groovy: In Progress Bug description: The different power profiles require loading the nvidia drivers with different options (or blacklisting them, in case of intel mode).
