- I'm not currently running any Ubuntu-based distros, so this is all from memory and I apologize for errors, but that's all I can offer for guarantees. You undertake these steps at your own risk.
- Find all the nvidia packages you have installed.
- dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
- Dump this list to a file, for your reference later:
- dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia > nvidia.packages.txt
- except the package nvidia-common all other packages should be purged.
- sudo apt-get remove --purge <packagename>
- Once all the Nvidia packages are purged, you should be able to reboot and have Intel-only graphics.
- You should be able to restore use of the Nvidia binary drivers by installing nvidia-current and nvidia-prime, these pull in the current Nvidia binary driver and the Ubuntu Optimus-handling scripts respectively.
- Once things are working, you should be able to use the package list you dumped to a text file to restore any missing packages you want back, but most should have been pulled back in as dependencies already.
