Link NVIDIA application profiles #2

Closed lavacano closed 4 years ago

lavacano commented 4 years ago

this was causing the error

ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should have been installed along with this driver at either /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-440.64-key-documentation or /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The application profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be prepopulated or validated, and will not be listed in the help text. Please see the README for possible values and descriptions.

@lavacano thanks for your PR. I will review the tutorial from Clear Linux and update the full script in a few days. (Likely this weekend). Then I will decide whether I will merge this PR.

@lavacano I'm able to recreate the error message

❯ nvidia-settings

(nvidia-settings:16608): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 01:26:53.561: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Your patch certainly should work, but in general users should not touch anything directly in /usr/share. And usually self-compiled packages are installed to /usr/local, but linking /etc/nvidia to /usr/local/share doesn't work.

Meanwhile, I need to make sure swupd would not remove the symbolic link.

also not having the application profiles installed is a problem https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1072456/linux/all-gui-apps-low-fps-when-mouse-is-inactive-x-org-1-20-7-rtx2080ti/ The tutorial should have this fix pushed to it; I'll push it.
