[Bug 1765363] Re: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card
Vasyl, your solution works, but it has a big disadvantage. HDMI doesn't work. I'm deleting the 80-nvidia-poweroff.rules file - HDMI works after rebooting. Restore this file - HDMI is not working. In general, there is a big problem with NVidia - all kinds of solutions to the power problem never take into account the presence of HDMI output on the NVidia chip. In fact, the solution I gave above did not fix it too. When I connected the HDMI monitor, I saw that the fight wasn't over. Prime also injects a file with rules, and there is a situation where a user on a new Ubuntu installs NVidia drivers and has HDMI running, but after only one use of "prime select" he can never again turn on the HDMI monitor again until he reads the forums and deletes this file. A particular cynicism is that the file is not deleted when drivers and prime are removed. Unfortunately, I won't be able to name the file now, I deleted it, I also deleted all the shortcuts so that home users wouldn't be able to switch the adapter mode through the prime GUI, and I use what is configured in #66, and I switch adapters in the BIOS. At the same time, my notebook consumes 3.5-6 watts of battery power while working for Intel, and after switching to NVidia, HDMI works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765363 Title: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1765363/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1765363] Re: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card
Hi Alberto, thank you for the reply! It motivated me to recheck the history of the changes for 'nvidia-prime' package. On Ubuntu 18.04 the last released nvidia-prime package version is 0.8.8.2, it includes fixes for related bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1778011 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1797147 But the issue is still reproducible: NVIDIA GPU default power control mode is "on" in intel mode and PowerTop reports the chip as consuming energy. By checking version history I did found you have made very similar fixes by udev rules in version 0.8.13, that looks as an even more extensive fix (NVIDIA GPU is not enabled completely instead of tweaking its power mode). Agree with you that users of Ubuntu 19.10 and newer should recheck whether the package version is at least 0.8.13. Users of Ubuntu (18.04 18.10 19.04) versions are affected since the package is older for those distributions.

[Bug 1765363] Re: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card
@vasyl: I want to add to your comment. I am in 20.04 now but until last week was using 18.04 with the same problem. If you use the method you reported (activate runtime PM for nvidia chip) power usage is still higher than if the chip is powered off totally using bbswitch. Runtime PM enabled, PRIME @ intel mode: 7.5~8.5 W power usage bbswitch nvidia off method, PRIME @ intel mode: 6.0~7.0 W power usage I think that maybe the PM method puts the nvidia chip in a "low power" mode (maybe level 8? level 12?) which does reduce power draw but still keeps it at 1 or 2 watts. Whereas switching it off entirely makes power draw minimal. This is just based on a few days of realtime observations on my part, however. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765363 Title: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1765363/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1765363] Re: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card
I confirm the issue on Ubuntu 18.04 base with kernel 4.15.0-88, NVidia
drivers 435.21 and 440.59 make no difference in the behavior. After
'prime-select intel' the nvidia driver is not loaded at all and intel
graphcs are active, but according to PowerTop the NVIDIA chip still
consumes the power. Acer laptop, NVidia 1050 Ti, Intel i5-7300HQ.
(TLDR: see SOLUTION at the end of the comment!)
Good thing is: as reported in comment #61 above by Vincente, command
from PowerTop Tunables tab (Runtime PM for PCI device NVIDIA Corporation
GP107M) actually helps to power off the NVidia chip and power
consumption goes down by a ~10W. Unfortunately, that does not persist
after system restart.
After checking the relevant NVidia driver manual
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/440.59/README/dynamicpowermanagement.html
I have found that same command to enable the runtime power management which
PowerTop uses:
echo auto > /sys/bus/pci/devices/\:01\:00.0/power/control
or a variant with proper privileges:
sudo sh -c 'echo auto > /sys/bus/pci/devices/:01:00.0/power/control'
That does the trick as well, so PowerTop is not needed to enable it.
GREAT THING AND THE SOLUTION: after reading the 'Automated Setup'
section in the nvidia manual above, I have found a way to automate that.
No bbswitch, no tlp tools, no extra scripts/services! Just create a file
named 80-nvidia-poweroff.rules in /lib/udev/rules.d/ directory with the
following content:
# Enable runtime PM for NVIDIA VGA/3D controller devices by default (if the
driver is not / will not be bound)
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de",
ATTR{class}=="0x03", DRIVER=="", TEST=="power/control",
ATTR{power/control}="auto"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de",
ATTR{class}=="0x030200", DRIVER=="", TEST=="power/control",
ATTR{power/control}="auto"
Save and reboot the system. Done! The nvidia chip will be in power off
mode already when you open the PowerTop to check that. And that will
work only when the intel is selected as an active controller by prime-
select tool, so should be safe when nvidia is set as active instead.
P.S. I wish this to be done automatically when installing the nvidia
driver... No magic for installer to create that file.

Hey Tim! Not sure what was going on before (Mind must have been hazy after a full day of trying to fix this) but it actually is working now. I went from >20W to 8.5W, and my battery life went from ~6 hours to ~11.5 hours. Really a dramatic difference and now I'm getting the battery life that was advertised with my laptop.

[Bug 1765363] Re: prime-select intel is not powering off the nvidia card
Hi Ryan, my solution uses bbswitch to turn off the card, which is what Ubuntu used before 18.04. If it works for your hardware in 16.04 (up to and including 17.10) it will work in 18.04. Also if it was working and then stopped working, it must be something you did. If you'd like support with it, please post an issue on the github repo. Note that the readme has debugging steps.

I can confirm the same issue on 18.04 using Gigabyte AERO 15x v8 with Nvidia GTX 1070 MaxQ. The `prime-select intel` method leaves the card powered on, even though the vgaswitcheroo/switch indicates it's off - the system power draw is ~ 20W. After installing bbswitch and turning the card off that way (had to mask off the nvidia-fallback to prevent manual loading of the nouveau module), the power draw drops to ~ 10W so the card is indeed powered off in that case.

Seems like you're right, François. I installed Powertop on both Ubuntu 18.04 (~12.5W at idle) and Fedora 27 (~5W) on the same laptop to measure the power comsumption.

Unfortunately, nouveau makes laptops with a Pascal dGPU (GeForce 10xx series) really unstable. For example my Dell XPS 9560 with a GTX 1050 won't boot without "nouveau.runpm=0". With "nouveau.runpm=0", boot will be slow, and multiple freezes with a recovery a few seconds later will occur after graphical login. The system remains sluggish even as the iGPU is used. See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100228 (there might be other bugs affecting general stability with Pascal dGPUs) If I blacklist nouveau completely (both as a kernel boot option and in /etc/modprobe.d/), the system will function normally, but the dGPU will stay on.

So, if I understand what's happening here. When switching to Intel, both Nouveau and the proprietary driver are blacklisted and the power management is disabled because of "nouveau.run-pm=0" kernel parameter. The discrete GPU is therefore always ON, but cannot be used at all. Why not just blacklist the proprietary driver to let Nouveau take care of the power management?
