[SOLVED] Nvidia card no longer being used after bios update

[jorritTyb]

So I have an MSI Raider GE76 laptop with an RTX 3080. This has always worked fine. A few days ago I bought a Philip ultrawide screen and connected that using the thunderbolt connector. That also worked and I could use accelarated graphics on it. But today my screen decided to not connect anymore (while it still worked for my other windows laptop). I found out that a bios update might fix this and indeed it did! The screen is now working again. However, after the bios update it seems that applications no longer use the nvidia card. Here some diagnostics:

> prime-select query
nvidia


> software-properties-gtk



So all this looks ok. Nevertheless games which were previously using nvidia (before the bios update) now use Intel Graphics instead (like Minecraft and Vintage Story).

Any clues?

Thanks in advance,

BTW, here is the full output of dmesg

Solved by disabling Secure Boot. Apparently this was reset again by the bios update
