[Solved]Gnome-session-save not found

LoBo3268715 · 2012-03-03 20:21:55

So, I am working on making my hybrid graphics work and they do, but now the script I am using requires "gnome-session-save --logout". when I enter this into the terminal I get a command not found bash error. Any thoughts?

gnome-session package has e.g. gnome-session-quit command, but not gnome-session-save. Where did you get that script?

I got the script here. http://asusm51ta-with-linux.blogspot.com/ and then I was following the directions from here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics

Here is the script I am working with.

Have you tried using our wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hybrid_graphics ?

Please edit your post. When pasting code, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

I did use our wiki ( along with everyother wiki I could find ) and finally after 13 months of researching this problem I can switch to my ATI card with the command line. The script I posted is a nice little GUI for the actual switch. I would like to be able to navigate through my gnome 3 menu and have the option ready to select. I know it's not necessary but it would be a nice touch. Is there any other command I could put in the script to log me out of my gnome session and complete the switch?

I'm marking this as solved. The script works even though it does not log me out of my session automatically, it does however switch graphics cards. I might finally be able to ditch windows entirely now. God, I love this distro, so glad I made the leap from Linux mint / Ubuntu. Thank you for your input karol.
