[Question] Can't Find or Run your Applet #11

Closed rdlf4 closed 2 years ago

rdlf4 commented 3 years ago

OK, so my laptop has an AMD APU (Wani) and an AMD dGPU (Lexa PRO). Normally I wouldn't be here bothering you with this but your applet has recently been updated to v1.2.7, which now "adds UI support for AMD integrated graphics.", and that has me interested. See, when I try launching a Steam game from my library with dri_prime=1 <gamename>, my system "offloads" the graphics handling over to my dGPU, but that's within the scope of Steam. It'd be nice to give your applet a try and getting to witness my dGPU in use outside Steam. Only thing is, this applet has been UPDATED, which means it "is running" on my system, but I just cannot find it using the applets manager window. What's the deal with that? Furthermore, no prime-related stuff is installed on my system, not sure if that's related. Anyway, how do I get to open your applet and see what's in store for me?

Thanks for your time.

We added support for AMD+NVIDIA, not AMD+AMD.

Did you install nvidia-prime? Are you able to switch from one to the other using "sudo nvidia-prime select intel/nvidia"?

Hey.. I have a problem. In my case, Nvidia Prime is enabled in Linux Mint, I get Prime profiles in Nvidia Settings but when I switch to POP OS, Nvidia Prime is not available. If I launch nvidia-settings using terminal, I get is nvidia prime supported?no whereas it is YES in linux mint. I'm using a desktop computer connecting montior to my motherboard but not to my GPU. HELP!!!

pop os uses "system76-power" command to manage graphics cards, i made a quick fork of this project which should work under pop, but i haven't used it in a while and i don't even remember how to package it, so good luck with that
