Re: Help turning off Alienware M11x R2 nVidia GPU in Ubuntu

 

I cannot provide a straightforward solution, but I think the only
fedora-specific bit is this:

/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --install
$(uname -r)

so googling for "blacklist +ubuntu" should be enough
