I have started installing Ubuntu 18.04 on my Dell Inspiron 7559, but failed to boot. After research, I have found https://connorkuehl.github.io/dell-inspiron-7559-linux-guide/index.html where is described how to install Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04. Everything went well and now I'm running ubuntu, but only on Intel HD Graphics.
Is there a possibility to use Nvidia GPU?



When I'm trying to switch to Nvidia sudo prime-select nvidia, I cannot boot anymore. Boot stalls at "Detect the available GPUs and deal with any system changes" with an "Timeout" error.

  • Have you tried enabling proprietary drivers in settings? If it isn't available, make sure you are connected to the internet or plugin the USB drive you used to install Ubuntu and the sources should pick it up.
