[TUTORIAL] Installing official NVIDIA driver in Optimus laptop

[TiGER511]

Every step went perfect till this point:

xrandr --verbose|grep PRIME

I always get:

PRIME Synchronization: 0

And also updating grub

update-grub
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 10: /etc/default/grub: nvidia-drm.modeset=1: not found

I use KDE desktop. So I assumed my display manager is SDDM

So I have this file with the following content

cat /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
#!/bin/sh
# Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog appears

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

What could be wrong?

Setting drm.modeset is not mandatory and it has no relation with display manager.this options is for getting rid of screen tearing.Did you get the driver wroking first?

For all the users with the same problem, this helped me: apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386
