optimus-manager doesn't switch: A GPU switch from integrated to nvidia is pending. #502

Closed dextertd closed 2 years ago

dextertd commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Thinkpad UEFI display mode set to "hybrid mode". Fresh Manjaro install. pamac upgrade. Follow optimus-manager installation instructions.

Run optimus-manager --switch nvidia and log back in. Now in terminal:

$ optimus-manager --status
A GPU switch from integrated to nvidia is pending.
Log out and log back in to apply.
Optimus Manager (Client) version 1.4

Current GPU mode : integrated
GPU mode requested for next login : nvidia
GPU at startup : integrated
Temporary config path: no

Manually logging in and out again yields the same result. Rebooting brings me back to integrated with no pending switch but trying to switch again yields the same result.

System info Please include :

Logs See above. Also, the output of nohup optimus-manager --no-confirm --switch nvidia > output

Switching to mode : nvidia

Follow instructions at https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager/wiki/A-guide--to-power-management-options to enable power management.
WARNING : no power management option is currently enabled (this is the default since v1.2). Switching between GPUs will work but you will likely experience poor battery life.
Log out and log back in to apply.
A GPU switch from integrated to nvidia is pending.

Using UEFI "discrete mode", after installing optimus and rebooting, gets me stuck on black screen with text "... clean... files". I saved the journalctl for that boot and then restored using timeshift. Grepping for "python3" shows:

Returned the laptop as I couldn't get this to work.
