NVIDIA Driver issue with Ubuntu 18.04 (Cannot suspend, No Brightness control, Occasional Screen glitches)
Ubuntu noobie here using a Dell Inspiron 7567 gaming laptop. I've recently dual booted Ubuntu 18.04 with windows and been going through hell trying to configure my Nvidia drivers with Ubuntu. Couldn't change my screen brightness initially as /sys/class/backlight was empty. No acpi_video0 or anything else in there. Looked up a few forums and made the following changes to the grub file in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
Ever since then, I have a folder called dell_backlight in /sys/class/backlight and I'm able to control the brightness
Now the second issue is that the laptop will NOT suspend when I close the lid. Again looked up a few forums and changed HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend, removed the comment. Still, no luck.
Read a few articles online and narrowed down the problem to my nvidia drivers. The funny thing is that, this is the screen when I start up nvidia settings.
Nvidia Settings Screen
And this is the terminal log
Nvidia Settings Terminal log
The output to `nvidia-smi, which shows that drivers are installed.
nvidia-smi
Graphic card details lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A1, as you can probably see I have two cards, an Intel HD 630 as well as an Nvidia 1050ti
Graphic card details
Despite all this, when I run the command nvidia-detector, it returns none.
Any sort of help is appreciated. Cheers !
