After Upate today i have no Nvidia Graphics on my Dell Laptop

Just reperforming update with the mirrors in working order (which could also by augmented by sorting mirrors first).

See for example the other related threads of people doing the same thing
(also note they dont require changing your packages)

The only cases where a package change would have occurred would be from unsupported packages
(which should also be handled) like here:

(this thread also has a long winding nature, but include my assessment and it will make sense almost immediately)

For now … if you wanted to return to standard state all you would need to do is remove the envycontrol stuff. Maybe force reinstall the mhwd driver profile again, but I dont think that should be necessary.

Because the issue was not the wrong profile, incorrect packages, lack of envycontrol, but just …

Just an issue of sync status.


But if you like envycontrol … then keep it. I wasnt saying its terrible.
Its certainly better than the other ones like ‘optimus-manager’, which you should actively avoid.

But lots of people prefer, or even need the hybrid setup.
(again, this is the default setup with the hybrid mhwd profile without envycontrol)
Because … nvidia isnt the most compatible, or opensource friendly thing.
Your desktop may actually have less bugs running on an intel/amd, or maybe the energy savings are important to you, or native VAAPI acceleration, and you only need the nvidia for your steam games. etc.
Just thought I would include some rationale since it already happened. :wink:
