I had a sense I ought to have waited to improve.

This may very well be Ubuntu bug since I needed to change to nouveau, reboot, change again to nvidia-driver-XXX(proprietary, examined), and reboot on my GF’s daughter’s pc after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04. Simply in case this not a Ubuntu bug… Possibly The repo isn’t prep’d for twenty-four.04 but?

right here is the way it occurred

1. Base set up – Ubuntu 23.10 + ARC drivers  (  from the intel repo ) +  Blender 4.1.1

2. open Blender and go to GPU settings, ought to discover the GPU

3. Improve Ubuntu 23.10 to Ubuntu 24.04 

4. open Blender and go to GPU settings, GPU is at the moment lacking

I attempted sudo apt-get take away –purge ‘^Intel-.*’ and reinstalling however did not appear to assist
