Optimus manager not wroking properly

[BALVEY7]

The issue started when I runned basic command to update the system in this case is [pacman -Syu] after that [reboot]. It all started with Steam not being able to run games that are interactive form of a 3D version so I've reported this issue to steam dev for Linux. The issue of the system is that when I enable it and want to start it it does not lets me switch between graphics or use the nvidia at all. Here is a report of the status:

I think the following applies: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python#Module_not_found_after_Python_version_update

A Python-based application might output No module named module_name for an installed dependency named module_name after having upgraded the python package to a new minor version (e.g. from version 3.10 to 3.11). [...] Please notice it is the user's responsibility to rebuild non-official packages, including Python-based packages installed from AUR

what do you suggest? sorry i'm new to this, do i need to basically rebuild the python? and how do i do that?

[pobrn]

Essentially you want to rebuild and reinstall the optimus-manager (or -git) package. E.g.

paru -S --rebuild optimus-manager

[BALVEY7]

I've wrote the command but all I got is this

 [arch@Arch ~]$ paru -S --rebuild optimus-manager

That's the PKGBUILD in the pager, most likely less. If you're done checking the PKGBUILD, simply press q, then answer the prompt that appears.

[BALVEY7]

ok done and then do I run pacman -R optimus-manager? as to reinstall it or that was done automatically? and if it did was automatic do i just reboot?

[pobrn]

You can just run optimus-manager --status to see if it now runs OK. If it does, you can reboot.

[BALVEY7]

Yes it's working now and the steam is working too which fixed all the issues i was having. Thank you!
