It says the graphics card drivers are installed, and I have installed 390, but I hardly beleive it is actually in use.
I am unsure why the resolution got messed up too, happened sometime during my attempt to get the graphics card working.
enter image description here



As you can see from this image, the 'About' still shows the intel integrated graphics + the resulution is very small, which I assume is part of this issue.
This is ubuntu 18.04 64bit, I also had similar issues on 16.04 previously. GTX 960m

          Normally the package nvidia-prime should be installed alongside the NVIDIA drivers automatically - to do it manually, open a terminal and execute the following command:



          sudo apt install nvidia-prime


          Now you can find the tab PRIME Profiles in the NVIDIA X Server Settings application.

          • Neat. However, it's not showing up still. When I installed it it actually said nothing new was installed. I also noticed now for some reason, it says that I am using a custom driver? i.imgur.com/BuL2odD.png I think it did that after I ran this command: sudo nvidia-xconfig That command created a file and I set the contents of that file to blank and that fixed my resolution issues.

          • Figured it out! I did the initial install wrong. Something with the secure boot I overlooked the first time I installed it. I purged nvidia* and reinstalled it and did the secure boot setup correct this time.

          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
