Public bug reported:
I installed Ubuntu 21.10 using ubiquity on a Legion Slim 7 with an amd
cpu/gpu using the amd gpu to drive the laptop screen but also an nvidia
graphics card. The installer ran fine but the installed image failed to
boot, just showing a blank screen. The installer had installed both the
amdgpu and nvidia drivers but was trying to use only the nvidia driver,
which failed to display the login screen on either the laptop screen
driven through the amd gpu or on the external monitor driven through the
nvidia card.
The solution turned out to be to run "sudo prime-select intel" (or more
appropriately, "sudo prime-select on-demand", so I could also use prime
and reverse prime), which fixed the problem. (Running prime-select intel
was a bit counter-intuitive because the cpu is not intel so it me took a
long time to figure out the problem.)
When hybrid graphics are in use and ubiquity installs the nvidia driver,
shouldn't it default to prime-select on-demand instead of prime-select
nvidia?
