[BUG] nvidia mode not working #140

Closed kamperemu closed 7 months ago

kamperemu commented 12 months ago

Describe the bug Nvidia mode doesn't work properly (specifically for lightdm in my case)

To Reproduce

  1. fresh install of arch linux with base base-devel linux linux-firmware xorg-server qtile lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
  2. boot into lightdm
  3. Install envycontrol. Run sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
  4. reboot
  5. there will be a black screen with a cursor blinking.
  6. However if you're on a dual screen setup, the login manager will be there on the secondary display instead of the primary display

Expected behavior There should be a login screen (and if plugged into an extra display it should show up on the primary display)

Screenshots Excluded because pretty self explanatory

System Information:

same issue here. Im using Arch with xfce and when I switch to NVIDIA mode, my environment switch to the second monitor instead of my laptop one.

xrandr detects only the second monitor:

Furthermore, glxinfo | grep OpenGL does not return NVIDIA but `LLVM``:

@kamperemu I had nvidia-exec package installed on my system. I uninstalled it and now envycontrol works correctly.

kamperemu commented 11 months ago

@D3vil0p3r don't have nvidia-exec installed. So, I think my issue is completely different.

D3vil0p3r commented 11 months ago

@D3vil0p3r don't have nvidia-exec installed. So, I think my issue is completely different.

Can you share the content of your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and /etc/default/grub and the list of files in /etc/modprobe.d directory?

What is the output of the following commands?

echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE"
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL render"
lspci | grep VGA
kamperemu commented 11 months ago

@D3vil0p3r

I'm using systemd boot instead of grub

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(usbhid xhci_hcd)
MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=()

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No RAID, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems fsck)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev modconf block filesystems fsck)
#
##   This setup assembles a mdadm array with an encrypted root file system.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm_udev' for more information on RAID devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev modconf keyboard keymap consolefont block mdadm_udev encrypt filesystems fsck)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group.
#    HOOKS=(base udev modconf block lvm2 filesystems fsck)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr and fsck hooks.
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf keyboard keymap consolefont block filesystems fsck)

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, zstd compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.

#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor

# Decompress kernel modules during initramfs creation.
# Enable to speedup boot process, disable to save RAM
# during early userspace. Switch (yes/no).

There are two displays btw... it is only saying one is connected All of this is in nvidia mode of course. In hybrid mode, both displays are shown as connected

D3vil0p3r commented 11 months ago

I don't think it is an envycontrol issue. It seems to set it correctly. Can you run pacman -Qs nvidia and giving me the output?

PS: your issue is that you get a black screen with blinking cursor?

Which kernel are you using?

kamperemu commented 11 months ago

@D3vil0p3r egl-wayland 2:1.1.13-1 envycontrol 3:3.0-1 libvdpau 1.5-2 nvidia 535.113.01-8 nvidia-utils 535.113.01-2

Currently on tty2 so I can't copy and paste the output. I have typed the output from another device.

bayasdev commented 11 months ago

Currently Nvidia mode is only supported under Xorg sessions

I'm using an xorg session... the Wayland stuff is automatically installed with nvidia. I'm using qtile xorg.

bayasdev commented 11 months ago

@kamperemu I see, then you need to setup your display manager or xinitrc to do the xrandr thing that's documented on the project wiki

kamperemu commented 11 months ago

I'm using lightdm which is supported by envycontrol if I'm not wrong.

Here you have these packages but in your first post you reported to have:

local/nvidia-open-dkms 535.113.01-6
    NVIDIA open kernel modules

Which kernel are you using?

PS: you are using "conflicting" packages if my assumption here is true.

kamperemu commented 11 months ago

@D3vil0p3r I haven't mentioned a dkms kernel anywhere in this thread. I have tried both the regular and dkms kernels on fresh installs for debugging at one point. Currently, I don't have any conflicting packages.

So what is your kernel?

kamperemu commented 11 months ago

The base kernel

D3vil0p3r commented 11 months ago

The base kernel

I think you can try to remove nvidia package and install nvidia-open and use again envycontrol to check what happens.

kamperemu commented 7 months ago

After switching to another OS for a while (had some university work to do), the issue just randomly fixed itself when I returned today. I'm no longer able to reproduce the bug so I'm going to close this issue.
