I think you are right - its prolly something with this graphic card and the drivers.
VPN and the thing with the "Server Select" didn't help me. I will try harder [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Update: I tried on a completly different Lenovo business notebook with Nvidia graphiccard.
Same shit - looks like its a Linux Mint 19.1 bug. |
On Linux Mint there is a program "Driver Manager", available form the start menu. If you go in there you should see a bunch of options for different drivers. For instance, I'm using "nvidia-390", but there's also newer ones like "nvidia-396", "nvidia-410", nvidia-415" amd "nvidia-418". There's also older ones (eg. "nvidia-340") and an open source one ("xserver-xorg-video-noveau").
Because I have onboard Intel graphics also I have a separate section for those, but it's only option is "Intel-microencode" (selected) and "do not use this device" (not selected) so I don't mess with that one. I'm pretty sure the OS uses the Intel graphics for normal operation (so it doesn't have to use the power-intense Nvidia graphics then) and switches to the Nvidia graphics for games. Here's more info on that if you think you need to adjust things because your computer is using the wrong card:

If you play with the Nvidia options ... well, it will take awhile, as each option requires installing new drivers and restarting your computer. But if you try enough (maybe start with nvidia-390 if you have it as an option), hopefully one of them will work for you.
Personally I remember it taking me awhile, and I had to install various corresponding packages to make certain options show up, but I checked my package manager and I don't have any such packages installed now (though I still see the options) so hopefully the program has improved and you'll just have all the options without having to install the corresponding "nvidia-somenumber" packages first (but you might).
Good luck.
