i want to stop nvidia-powerd.service before the graphic card is switched. nvidia cannot be unloaded with active powerd. so i want to stop it before unloading the nvidia drivers.

can this be achieved somehow?

thanks.

Hi @leuchtrakete666 . AFAIK, there is no way to automate that and currently this needs to be done manually. Seems to be related with #477 where someone posted a workaround of manually powering down nvidia-powerd before switching graphics.
