I have an Asus k401 notebook with an Nvidia GeForce 940m. I've added the graphics ppa and installed the most recent version (nvidia-367). The installation was successful and, according to the Additional Drivers app, the driver is currently being used. However when I run nvidia-detector the result is none. When I try to open nvidia-settings, I receive the following messages 

** Message: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort
** Message: PRIME: is it supported? no

The nvidia-settings gui opens but doesn't have all the options it should have. I've also tried to install the driver from nvidia website but that did not work too.

An interesting fact is the when I run sudo prime-select nvidia or intel, the command works. In other words, nvidia-prime is working.

Anyone has any idea how to solve this issue?

My Ubuntu version is 16.04. The result of lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' is the following:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09)
    Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics
    Kernel driver in use: i915
04:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940M] (rev ff)
    Kernel driver in use: nvidia
    Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_367, nvidia_367_drm

  • Did you try the stable 361 driver? 367 is not supported yet.

  • SecureBoot is already disabled. I tryed the 364 driver and also didn't work. I will try the 361.

  • If the command line prime-select works, it means that it works. The problem may be with nvidia-settings GUI.
