Nvidia Linux Problems
Previous releases of the nvidia accelerated linux graphics driver attempted to work around this problem.
Nvidia linux problems. This is how i install the nvidia driver on ubuntu and i have never had any problems since i began ubuntu with the very first ubuntu version 4 10. Before i updated the nvidia driver through linux mint update manager i used to have them both configured using nvidia settings and nvidia prime. Ok i got them both working currently using the nvidia one. Known problems 2 4 x kernel hangs or some devices are not available there are bugs in 2 4 x kernel acpi support that may affect install and or os boot.
Unfortunately the workaround caused problems with other applications and was removed after version 1 0 1541. And you should be good to go. But the problem is that my 7 years old laptop hp probook 455 g1 that only had one weak integrated amd gpu runs games and videos better than my new laptop. Can t get 999 fps.
Linux users have long had a love hate relationship with nvidia. After the update the driver manager marks the nvidia driver as installed but the intel graphic card has the following sentence written below this device is not working and the only option possible is do not use this device. On the one hand nvidia s proprietary graphics drivers have always been the best performing ones for linux gaming on the other. I can switch from the nvidia tool.
If you are having problems one of the first trouble shooting tactics should be to disable acpi.
