I've installed Nvidia 450 on new installation of Kubuntu 20.04.1.
Prime Render Offload works in manual mode with __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
But nvidia-settings
says prime is not supported.
And so I have no prime entry in the nvidia window as you can see below.
So I think the swith between integrated and nvidia GPU will not be automatic and the "on demand" does not work.
What is wrong ? Thank you for your help.
