So im running ubuntu mate 16.04 on an asus rog 501g. I resently tried to switch to use the closed source nvidia driver from nouveau. After that i expirienced boot issues, so I switched back to the open source driver. Everything seems to be working fine, exept that now my laptop does not resume from suspend (only a black screen). This worked fine before.
Fixes that I have tried:
Purging nvidia
Reinstalling all the graphic drivers
Reinstalling Mate desktop
Upgrading to Linux kernel 4.8
Installing Nvidia driver v.367
Nothing has yet fixed the problem.
Does anyone have another fix or suggestion for this?
Graphix card: Nvidia Geoforce GTX 960m
Update:
Now running the propriatery nvidia-375 driver with linux kernel 4.7. Also installed bumblebee and modified bumblebee.conf. Installed bbswitch. Blender runs with command: optirun blender, but not with primusrun.
Succsesfully installed CUDA. Hybernate works.
Problems that still persist: suspend does not work. External monitor with hdmi does not work. Nvidia-settings is blank
