Ubuntu 24.10
Wayland
Nvidia MX330
Nvidia 560.35.03
I was led to believe that the prior problems of running a Nvidia card were fixed under Wayland in Ubuntu 24.10.
So I upgraded from 24.04 to 24.10 and ran under Xorg, solved some various upgrade issues, and it seemed to run fine.
Then I enabled Wayland. With some minor problems, it ran fine. I decided to put the Nvidia into "Performance mode", and it seemed fine until I checked nvidia-smi
and noted that only gnome-shell
was being accelerated.
Here I show via the cli that the Nvidia Performance Mode is selected...
Here is show the GUI showing Performance Mode under Xorg...
Here is nvidia-smi
running under Xorg... note the full compliment of processes that are accelerated... whereas under Wayland it only shows gnome-shell
...
So my question is... is this a Wayland or Nvidia problem? What steps might I take to further troubleshoot this and fix it?
Update: So I upgraded from 24.04 to 24.10 and ran under Xorg, solved some various upgrade issues, and it seemed to run fine.
I find that I can't open folders on my Desktop, in Xorg, in "Performance Mode". "On-Demand" works fine.
