I have followed the instructions mentioned here (same instructions are also mentioned here). Unfortunately, these instructions are catered to Ubuntu 20.04 and I am currently using Ubuntu 22.04. Here are the results:
- Instead of X11 (which was being used before this modification), Wayland is being used as the Windowing System.
- In the output of
nvidia-smi
, one can see that a/usr/bin/gnome-shell
process is being run on the GPU. (Note that the "NVIDIA On-Demand" PRIME Profile is in use)
Here is the nvidia-smi
output:

Goal:
- Unless other programs that really need the dGPU (e.g. games or simulators utilizing Vulkan API, Deep Learning script that uses PyTorch) are being run, I want the dGPU to have no processes running on it.
nvidia-smi
still works, the dGPU is still available for Deep Learning, heavy games, CUDA Debugging etc. (which isn't the case for rebooting aftersudo prime-select intel
)
What further changes do I need to make? (willing to do a fresh install)
