It’s the System76 one, it does have the i915 gpu. Try running the game with primusrun nwn.sh.

I honestly didn’t know they still made Intel processors without integrated GPUs for laptops. I stand corrected.

If the system is using mesa you may want to blacklist nouveau manually and then reinstall the NVidia drivers.

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Find this line:

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”nomodeset rhgb quiet”

Add rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau into the quotes:

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”nomodeset rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau”

Code:

sudo update-grub

Reboot see if it works. If it doesn’t, reinstall the NVidia drivers.

Ubuntu already blacklists nouveau when the Nvidia driver is installed. It’s just not possible to boot in a usable state with both enabled.

linuxgnuru, you did use the graphics driver PPA to install nvidia-355, right?

Code:

cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
# This file was installed by nvidia-358
# Do not edit this file manually

blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
blacklist nvidia-current
blacklist nvidia-173
blacklist nvidia-96
blacklist nvidia-current-updates
blacklist nvidia-173-updates
blacklist nvidia-96-updates
blacklist nvidia-358-updates
alias nvidia nvidia_358
alias nvidia-modeset nvidia_358-modeset
alias nvidia-uvm nvidia_358-uvm
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off%

Whatever killed my x server is finally gone and now nwn runs fine in lutris.

… just a warning to anyone who simply kept doing distribution upgrades instead of a clean install … been upgrading since 13.04 …

[strider]

Good that the game finally works

I’ve been doing distribution upgrades since… I don’t know… Ubuntu 7.04? The only issues I ever had were when updating to unstable versions.
