Hallo Alberto, I followed your instructions, including the installation of the ubuntu-drivers-common from the proposed-archive.
The result was, that the xorg.conf wasn't changed anymore after reboots. BUT the output from /var/log/gpumanager.log says: Disabled by kernel parameter "nogpumanager" Before that I had the gpu-manager disabled via the grub parameter nogpumanger to prevent my xorg.conf from being overwritten. But following your instructions, I deleted this parameter and updated grub. I doublechecked my /etc/default/grub: There's no such parameter. Did this happen intentionally via the new ubuntu-drivers-common-package or did I miss something? Is it possible that there's a lock-file somewhere not working right? What exactly is the downside of a not-working gpu-manager when proprietary drivers are installed? Thanks a lot in advance Best regards Philipp Am 04.09.2014 um 11:57 schrieb Alberto Milone: > ** Description changed: > > Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS > Release: 14.04 > > ---------------- > > == SRU Request == > > There is a regression in the gpu-manager that causes it to revert user > changes right before the first reboot after enabling the fglrx driver or > the nvidia driver on a system with hybrid graphics (Intel+AMD or > Intel+NVIDIA).
