Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Cinnamon is currently running without video hardware acceleration

gg flag
Del

I am new to using Ubuntu Desktop and I am trying out Cinnamon for the first time, but every time I connect to my desktop, I am getting a warning stating that I should check my video drivers because I am running without hardware acceleration.

My GPU is a Nvidia 2080 Ti using nvidia-driver-520-open drivers. My CPU is a Ryzen 5600 with no integrated graphics. I am using xrdp to connect to this system remotely over my LAN. The computer has a monitor plugged in, but I intend to use it headless most of the time.

I tried all of the solutions I could find to troubleshoot this problem, but haven't had any luck. My packages and kernel are all reporting as up to date.

I tried adding the following to /etc/modules and UEFI is disabled:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

This irritates me: `OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 13.0.1 256 bits)..` What does `glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"` say?
Score:4

Your nvidia driver ist not working:

    Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.3 
    compositor: gnome-shell driver: X:
    loaded: nouveau unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa gpu: nvidia`. Try to switch 

So you might need a XorgConf (assuming you are running XServer and not wayland) like this:

Section "Device"
  Identifier "nvidia"
  Driver "nvidia"
  BusID "PCI:07:00.0"
EndSection

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
