OK, i see your logic re my Network Manager, but what about the post-repair failure of KSysGuard? Was that just icing on my cake given how wonderful a day it was?![]()
This is from my Lappy:
Code:XPS-L501X:~$ lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 18) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 420M] [10de:0df1] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
So, ain't i just the lucky lady; i have that "[VGA controller] at the end" not once but twice. Bonus!!
For my final naive question [for now], the name "Optimus" does not appear even once in all that code i pasted above, & you pasted above, so what bright spark decided to call their product "Optimus"? I think they need a new marketing manager...
Hi kdemeoz,
So you indeed HAVE Optimus

Code:
sudo prime-select nvidia
It will properly select the nvidia card.
As for the KSysGuard, from my perspective, it's a completely isolated case, maybe your laptop crashed while it was running and the config in your home dir remained corrupted or something - I wouldn't relate it to the Nvidia stuff in any way.
