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? https://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. – gopro_2027 May 11 '18 at 14:06

  • Okay I actually got it back to square 1 now. Resolution fine, I have nvidia-driver-390 selected in the additional drivers. Still says I have inten and it looks as though my issue is getting prime to show up right now. – gopro_2027 May 11 '18 at 14:13
  • https://i.imgur.com/2XEUANL.png Maybe this will help figure out the issue? – gopro_2027 May 11 '18 at 14:16
  • 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. – gopro_2027 May 11 '18 at 14:38
