Uninteresting issue about Linux
Sounds like something is messed up, the desktop is crashing and that takes you back to the login screen. You could try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1/F2 to go to the console, sign in there then search the logs (e.g. dmsg). This should maybe give you a hint what is broken.
It's great you're getting started! To log in via console, you'll need to use the terminal or command prompt. Make sure your system is configured for console access and that you have the necessary permissions. If you're unsure, check your Linux documentation or support resources for step-by-step guidance.
To access the terminal, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2. You'll see a login screen where you can enter your usual credentials. Then check "dmsg" or the Xorg logs to identify potential problems. Regarding drivers, proprietary Nvidia drivers might be the cause of the issue.
Sure. I think restarting Ubuntu might be a smarter choice than trying to fix everything again. I’d like some guidance to avoid messing up the installation once more.
When setting up drivers for two different GPUs, ensure you follow separate installation procedures for each device. Verify compatibility and adjust settings accordingly.
I'm not familiar with multi-GPU setups in Linux. Are you referring to different generations or manufacturers? My initial thought is this might be a driver problem, so you'd need to report a bug for a fix. If it's Nvidia's proprietary driver, you'll have to contact them directly, as Canonical and kernel developers can't help.
Pascal and Turing, this is a folding@home PC. Going through the steps again, but more carefully, I suspect it was probably because I did the update restart AND gpu restart at the same time
It makes sense. Applying all updates first before adding GPU drivers seems like a smart approach.
