I bought a notebook (My notebook : https://www.monsternotebook.com.tr/abra/MONSTER-ABRA-A5-V9-2-3.html#.WsnRdOZRXCI ) last week.I installed Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS with doing dual boot.



In Windows, I know that my graphic card GTX 1050 Ti is used(active).



But in Ubuntu, I don't know if it is active or not? How can I learn this?
And if it is not active , how can I active it?



prime-select query this give me a output like this :



unknown



sudo prime-select intel give me a output like this:



Info: the current GL alternatives in use are: ['mesa', None]
Info: the current EGL alternatives in use are: ['mesa-egl', None]
Error: the installed packages do not support PRIME
Error: intel mode can't be enabled

(same output for nvdia)

          From the terminal:



          prime-select query


          This will answer "intel" or "nvidia", that's the one in use. To switch without need to reboot or anything:



          sudo prime-select intel


          the parameter here can be either "intel" or "nvidia".

          • I can only make speculiations on that outut. Maybe is an old version of OS (you're on 16.04 right?) that along with old kernel, mesa, intel and nvidia drivers, just do not support prime properly. Update to 17.10 or to 18.04 LTS in a few weeks is indeed a good options, I am on 17.10 myself and Steam works properly, as well as prime with nvidia/intel combination

          I installed prime-select in a computer with 16.04 LTS using an (old) nvidia card, but it responds 'unknown' (while it can be expected to work in newer versions of Ubuntu).



          Maybe you find what you want via lshw in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

          • the hardware product: GF108 [GeForce GT 430]



          • the software configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0



            I'm using the built-in linux driver nouveau, which actually works better for me than a proprietary driver with this nvidia card.

                In my computer it shows



                • the hardware product: GF108 [GeForce GT 430]



                • the software configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0
