New xps 15 intel i9 1050ti gtx, unable to install

Closed this issue · 4 comments

I just received an xps 15 and I've been trying to install your respin. No matter what I do, I can't get it to boot up, even after acpi= off, nomodeset, etc. I updated the BIOS to 1.6 and got the latest Nvidia driver on the windows side. I'm still have issues with NVMR - it constantly tries to probe the GPU and fails on a loop. Any suggestions?

I've personnaly used the official iso, made a clean install and then used the tweaks script provided in the repo, it works well so far !

I think it's due to preloaded nVidia drivers, I'll try to build the ISO without them.
For now, I suggest you to do like @grybouilli said

Hi, got my xps in Decemeber, after many trials I managed by booting in rescue mode.
In the console I purged all nvidia drivers
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

It automatically got noveau driver configured, after reboot it loaded up gnome.

I completed all updates, and then installed nvidia driver from the "software and updates" "additional drivers". Works like a charm so far.

I followed what @ Grybouilli said and then used the tweaks script. Everything working great now, snagged the new drivers from Nvidia and I can turn the discrete GPU on and off. Thank you!
