[Bug 1925750] Re: Ubuntu 21.04 not loading correctly intel graphics driver

2021-05-02 Thread Daniel van Vugt
There is no "additional" Intel driver. There is only one (that is
supported) and it is always enabled, never listed in the GUI.

If you have the Nvidia driver installed and would like to try Wayland
(NOT RECOMMENDED) then the steps to use are here:

Used to be Intel by default (not nvidia by default) until Ubuntu 21.04.
This time it changed and I did not know how to revert to intel drivers.
I uninstalled nvidia drivers, after restart it switched to nouveau
(still nvidia) and then I blacklisted the nouveau driver in the grub.
Probably there was some way to blacklist proprietary nvidia drivers,
too, but I got to that solution later :D

Proprietary nvidia drivers have this thing called Optimus where, if the
management app is installed, you can switch between nvidia and intel
graphics (unfortunately one has also to log out-log in, in Windows it
works without that), I did select Intel graphics but it does not use the
open source drivers from the kernel (or at least they work differently,
because I got the graphical glitches for Gnome Extensions window). Intel
open source drivers don't do that.

I honestly don't know much about how these dual-GPU systems work. I
suspect there must be some firmware interfaces for enabling/disabling
the discrete GPU, I have no idea whether those are standardized or
platform-specific. Assuming the kernel supports the interfaces for your
platform, I also don't know what userspace packages are necessary to
utilize those interfaces. You might want to try searching for
instructions for your specific machine.

You might also check the firmware setup, there may be options there
related to enabling/disabling the discrete graphics.

@Seth Forshee 
Thank you for having a look, I have no idea how these work.

But shouldn't there be a way to select the Intel driver and be able to
use Wayland? If it is not there, how else do I do it?

The reason you don't see any Intel graphics drivers in the "Addditional
Drivers" tab is that none are needed. The Intel graphics driver (i915)
is open source and already included in the kernel, and from your logs it
has been loaded.

There's nothing I'm seeing currently which indicates a kernel issue. My
best guess as to which package decides whether or not to offer wayland
sessions is gdm3, so I'll add that to the bug report.
