Switching back to nouveau from nVidia in Ubuntu 18.10
I had nVidia drivers running in my Ubuntu 18.10 system. But other than the OpenCL benefit for softwares like DarkTable, nouveau seems more stable. So I just wanted to go back and try nouveau. I tried to do this from Software->Additional Drivers and giving xorg there instead of NVIDIA. But it looks like this just switched me back to intel drivers (nVidia Prime?) instead of nouveau.
Running DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL" gives me below:
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (Kabylake GT2)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 18.2.2
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 18.2.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 18.2.2
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20
OpenGL ES profile extensions:
I believe the above output should show nouveau instead of Intel and also I should see "Launch with Graphics Card" option for Applications. Am I correct? Please help with your valuable suggestions.
