As the title says; here is an extract of what the terminal says after

$ lspci -k
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940MX] (rev a2)
        Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] GM108M [GeForce 940MX]
        Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 18.04, my GPU is a GEFORCE 940mx.
This happened after I followed this guide.

The tutorial did its job nvidia drivers are now installed but it didn't get rid of nouvaeu like it was supposed to, additionally in bios there is no option (in the BIOS) for me to switch between the onboard intel graphics and my Nvidia card.

I need help, I did all the steps in that tutorial and the nouveau drivers are still the kernel modules.

    Which nvidia graphics driver did you install (which number)? I think nvidiafb is the framebuffer tool (which is not the nvidia graphics driver). Please tell us more about the computer: Brand name and model. And edit your original question to add the output of LANG=C sudo lshw -C display. Indent each line of the output to render it as 'code'. This makes it easier to read (and to help you) :-)

It seems that your system is not finding any information about any Intel graphics. Maybe there is no such chip/card. Maybe there is such information, but you did not find it yet. Please check again, maybe with the help of grep.

My corresponding output from lspci in a Dell Precision M4800 is

$ lspci -k|grep -A4 VGA

In order to add details, you can also check the output of lshw. My corresponding output is

$ LANG=C sudo lshw -C display
