Ubuntu 20.04 support

[Jean85]

Does this work with the new Ubuntu 20.04?

I don't know, you'd have to try. I'm not running Ubuntu anymore.

yes a modified version works for ubuntu-20.04 gdm
you can run even a live image with nvidia-450.57 installed and prime-select on the fly in live ram

https://sourceforge.net/projects/toysbox/files/bionic-nvidia/ubuntu-20.04-5.4.0-26-generic-nvidia-450.57-primeselect.iso

have a try

@hoan3504 What were the modifications? Could you fork this \ add a branch with the modifications instead of pointing to an iso?

Hi Guy,

I do not want at all to promote what I am doing,since it is a challenge for myself ( I am too old to care about people's opinion on me ,too late now)

I do show the link to an iso because the iso is a live demonstration of what I am proving,but since what had been done for this iso is far (very far,indeed) from being directly applicable to installed case (on which I am working)

that's why I have not forked from Mathieu's work yet ; since executing bbswitch thru socket ,and make sure the swittch be effective on installed case is not a simple task ! But of course the Mathieu starting point is a good approach (that's why I thank him here) but not enough to make full working bbswitch in most installed case even with lightdm !

have a try with the iso and install it to appreciate the difficulties.
