[Lenovo Ideapad L340] Can't switch graphics to Nvidia #116

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

I have a Lenovo L340 with integrated graphics and a GTX 1650 mobile. When I try switching to my Nvidia graphics then reboot, I'm still met with Pop_Os still using my integrated graphics, I've tried using the command "sudo system76-power graphics nvidia", it says reboot for changes to apply, I reboot and my integrated graphics are still in use.

Purging Nvidia drivers in the terminal using a line along the lines of "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*", then reinstalling them works, but as soon as I reboot my laptop, it's back to using my integrated graphics. Is there any way to be able to use my Nvidia graphics without having to reinstall drivers every time I reboot?

EDIT: for purging drivers I used "sudo apt purge nvidia* && sudo apt autoremove" and then "sudo apt install system76-driver-nvidia"

Late reply, fixed it by reinstalling Pop OS via the recovery partition.
