What about Ubuntu 18.04?

[ViBE-HU]

Maybe it's a lame question. I guess there are already a solution for this on system level (nvidia-prime) but on my freshly installed 18.04 beta it's absolutely dead. Do you have any plans on the new OS?

[andrebrait]

I promise I'll take a look into those things as soon as I graduate (probably July 2018). ;)

instead of a log out it needs to be rebooted, and the nvidia power stuff doesn't work anymore

[andrebrait]

@aaahh Yes, I just tested some time ago. As a matter of fact, it's funky even on 16.04.3 and newer.

@aaahh It also happens in 17.10, I suspect it's because of GDM - I've installed Cinnamon and LightDM instead of Gnome and GDM on my 17.10, and now it works like a charm - I guess it's the same thing with regards to 18.04.

@Motherboard
I have Lightdm and it's still funky

I'm trying to contact the developer since ubuntu 17.10 asking for an upgrade.
Never answered.
The ppa is active but prime-indicator-plus package must have been abandoned...

Not a great behaviour, but that's it...

[andrebrait]

@jasmines I haven't released a new version of this software, which is why the guy responsible for the PPA hasn't updated it, AFAIK.

If by "the developer" you mean me, though, I'm sorry that I didn't respond, but I wasn't notified of anyone trying to contact me as well :/

[jasmines]

So what should one do to have a build for bionic in the PPA? Can't you put us in contact with the mantainer? He should be the guy behind webupd8 and he's ignoring our messages as well. 

[andrebrait]

@jasmines I had a discussion that included him earlier this year and he didn't respond either.

I don't know what happened to him. I hope he's okay. I'll see if he can respond the email.

Bear in mind that the indicator isn't exactly in the best shape for bionic, as others have pointed out... :/

[mmhobi7]

Git clone and run the install script

[andrebrait]

@aaahh yeah, that works too.

And installing the dependencies like in the README for this repo too.

@jasmines sadly Andrei (the maintainer of that PPA and the creator of WebUpd8) is pretty inactive for a while so it's not gonna be easy.

[jasmines]

A while means more than a year for the PPA. Webupd8 is getting updated regularly, instead, as it gives him money...Il 24 mag 2018 7:26 AM, ViBE <[email protected]> ha scritto:@jasmines sadly Andrei (the maintainer of that PPA and the creator of WebUpd8) is pretty inactive for a while so it's not gonna be easy. —You are receiving this because you were mentioned.Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the thread.

This might be of interest - a replacement for the prime-select in Ubuntu 18.04 which works without reboot.

[andrebrait]

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into it. On top of it all, it's written in Rust :) I like Rust

That nvidia-prime alternative I posted seems to be not maintained at the moment, it had been forked and further improved here, there's an active discussion about it in the nvidia dev forum.

[jasmines]

And the PPA is still missing updates... Launchpad should be use to close them when the mantainer even refuse to answer...
