ERROR: the active card is "integrated" but it should be "nvidia". #568

Closed SemihGuner closed 3 months ago

SemihGuner commented 5 months ago

I just installed Arch Linux for the first time. I am using KDE Plasma with Xorg. I can't switch my card from Intel to NVidia, because Optimus throws the error "ERROR: the active card is "integrated" but it should be "nvidia".". I am using the latest version of Optimus; (Client) Version 1.5. I am using the default config file. I installed every Nvidia driver from scratch, and it didn't solve the problem. Also I saw in other issues that people used "prime-offload" command, but it didn't work on me neither. I am in need of serious help. Thanks! :)

In the application "Terminal" enter: lspci | grep NVIDIA; pacman --query --info nvidia optimus-manager-git

Then paste the output here, and reopen the issue.
