Latest Manjaro update, both intel and nvidia drivers loaded, glxinfo shows intel

It's been a while since I use nvidia for gaming, like 2 or 3 Manjaro updates. Today I decided to use it again because I want to use the GPU for encoding some videos faster. So I git pull-ed this repo and I see some updates, rebuild and reinstall the package, sudo prime-switch -d nvidia then relogin. Executing glxinfo | grep -i vendor shows intel, while lsmod | egrep 'intel|nvidia' shows both are loaded. nvidia-settings says ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system. So it looks like while nvidia driver is loaded, I'm still using intel for display. For curiousity, I proceed executing ffmpeg with h264_nvenc codec, and it works. nvidia-smi shows the running process. So, the driver is actually working (and indeed encoding finishes faster than with CPU). However, games will not be using that driver as it follows the display one. How do I use nvidia for everything?

I use your nvidia.conf this time because mine (produced by nvidia-xconfig) is producing this:

[  1496.393] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[  1496.393] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[  1496.393] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
[  1496.393] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[  1496.393] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

first, did you try to reboot after sudo prime-switch -d nvidia ? second, dont use nvidia-xconfig on optimus laptops, wont create a working config (if you want to test other configs, better dump json file to e.g. your home folder and add new driver block)

also, do you use nvidia390xx or nvidia module (396.something)? can you show output of following commands:

lspci -k

DIRS="/etc/modules-load.d/ /etc/modprobe.d /etc/X11/mhwd.d"; for i in $DIRS; do for j in $i/*; do printf "%s ----->\n\n%s\n\n" "$j" "$(cat $j)" ; done; done

printf "/usr/.../nvidia.conf ----->\n\n%s\n\n" "$(cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf)"

ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

cat /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup

xrandr --listproviders

egrep -i 'nvidia|intel|i915|modesetting|primarygpu' /path/to/xorg.log file  (should be /var/log/Xorg.0.log, if unsure check timestamp)

first, did you try to reboot after sudo prime-switch -d nvidia ?

of course, it's a common SOP.

second, dont use nvidia-xconfig on optimus laptops, wont create a working config

I don't this time, previously I use it because the supplied config, which only sets device section is somehow insufficient.

do you use nvidia390xx or nvidia module (396.something)?

nvidia:

local/linux414-nvidia 1:396.54-6 (linux414-extramodules)
    NVIDIA drivers for linux.
local/linux418-nvidia 1:396.54-5 (linux418-extramodules)
    NVIDIA drivers for linux.

can you show output of following commands:

Sure, but at this time I've gone back to intel only since the combo seems unstable:

lspci -k

Tell me if you need one after prime-switch -d nvidia.

thats quite a mess:

remove /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf (probably created by nvidia-xconfig?)
remove /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf (dont know who created that file)
remove /etc/X11/mhwd.d/optimus.conf (who created that file?) -remove /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf (who created that file?)
rename /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf.ori to /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf (that is the file which should be nvidia.conf)
the symlink points to intel.conf instead of nvidia.conf, what was the output of prime-switch -d nvidia ?

now as you have removed some of the mess, either uninstall prime-switch pkg git clone again (you can now use --branch current for current nvidia driver or nvidia390xx for legacy driver. You card support current driver ) build package and reinstall again

try again with sudo prime-switch -d nvidia and check afterwards if symlink is correct (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d points to /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf)

if symlink is still pointing to intel.conf please show me used json file and output of command.

if you encounter further problems please reply again

best regards,

/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf -> don't remember
/etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf -> your package
/etc/X11/mhwd.d/optimus.conf -> I created it, my previous one, I believe /etc/X11/mhwd.d is just a placeholder, no one ever really loads anything from this directory unless symlinked elsewhere
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf -> no idea, too
/etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf.ori -> a copy of optimus.conf, used to easily switch between your and my config without losing the original one
the symlink points to intel.conf instead of nvidia.conf -> as I said earlier, I've returned to intel only due to weird problems when nvidia is enabled as well

I'll try reinstalling and switching to nvidia again tonight.

Yes, files in /etc/X11/mhwd.d aren't used unless symlinked. Of course you can keep them if you want to.

according to your ouput, the nvidia.conf file from this package is nvidia.conf.ori not nvidia.conf (and optimus.conf looks like nvidia.conf)

https://github.com/vetzki/nvidia-prime-switch-sddm/blob/current/nvidia.conf

use either nvidia.conf of this package or adjust filename in json file (dont change provided, dump and use copy instead. But best would be if you use nvidia.conf file of this package)

the config you currently use as nvidia.conf wont work with optimus laptops

edit: and remove etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf and avoid multiply module files with same/similar content

in general it looks like you mixed https://forum.manjaro.org/t/howto-set-up-prime-with-nvidia-proprietary-driver/40225 and this package together, which is not advisable.

best regards,

I've done clean reinstallation of nvidia-prime-switch-sddm (remove + install) and do prime-switch -d nvidia, here's the new result of above commands that may have changed:

At least I can see Xsetup content is no longer the same, but xrandr still only lists intel as provider. grep-ing EE in /var/log/Xorg.0.log now gives me this:

(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section

its strange that the nviida module gets unloaded [ 62312.950] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"

can you try this nvidia config?:

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier "layout"
   Screen 0 "nvidia"
   Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier "nvidia"
   Driver "nvidia"

   Identifier "intel"
   Device "intel"
EndSection

(from http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/396.24/README/randr14.html)

also if you dont have nvidiafb installed can you also remove following files (they probably dont cause any issues, but also shouldn't be needed) ?:

/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf

edit: for testing: can you also remove the line options nvidia-drm modeset=1 from fiile /etc/modprobe.d/mhwd-gpu.conf

can you try this nvidia config?

Removed (renamed to .conf.noneed actually, but should be the same as modprobe requires .conf extension for an option file to load).

can you also remove the line options nvidia-drm modeset=1 from fiile /etc/modprobe.d/mhwd-gpu.conf

Done as well.

this should not happen: ...

does the file /usr/lib/nvidia/xorg/libglx.so exist on your system (and does the symlink point to libglx.so.nvidia_driver_version) ?

I guess so:

can you also show output of grep -i glx /path/to/xorg.log-file ?

and finally, does intel_modesetting config (prime-switch -d intel_modesetting) work and xrandr --listproviders command showing 2 (modesetting) providers?

if you grep for path in your xorg log file does it look like this:

and finally, does intel_modesetting config (prime-switch -d intel_modesetting) work and xrandr --listproviders command showing 2 (modesetting) providers?

Do I have to relogin after executing prime-switch before executing xrandr? Without relogin, it still only shows 1.

sorry you have to reboot after switching to intel_modesetting (nvidia modules will be disabled, thus requiring reboot)

Also I dont understand yet if using nivida why ModulePath won't include "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg" (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf should set this). I also tested without setting correct modulepath on my laptop with the result: I get the same glx error like you, but desktop still gets loaded and for glx llvmpipe (gallium) is used.

But currently I'm using lightdm, I will switch to sddm and test there.

Did you try without sddm (and with lightdm or no display manager)?

sorry you have to reboot after switching to intel_modesetting (nvidia modules will be disabled, thus requiring reboot)

Got it, but still only 1 provider.

Did you try without sddm (and with lightdm or no display manager)?

Err...no, I only have sddm atm. This repo is the sddm version anyway, right?

Ok, still only 1 provider

Yes this is the repo for sddm

Today out of curiousity I decided to reinstall your package again and I notice something during installation:

/tmp/alpm_EiCg0D/.INSTALL: line 3: check: command not found

that renders the Xsetup script to be:

#!/bin/sh
# Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog appears

check() {
python -c '
import os

SYSFS_PATH="/sys/bus/pci/devices"
devs = os.listdir(SYSFS_PATH)
gpus = [ "/sys/bus/pci/devices/"+i+"/" for i in devs if "0x03000" in open(SYSFS_PATH+"/"+i+"/class").read() ]

_g = (True for i in gpus if "nouveau" in os.path.realpath(i+"driver"))

for v in _g:
  if True:
    print(v)
    exit(0)
exit(1)
'
}

if [[  == True ]];
    then
    # nouveau (see also https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/)
    xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink nouveau Intel;
    # if second gpu output not accessible
    # xrandr --setprovideroutputsource nouveau Intel
    else
    # nvidia
    xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0; # not necessarily needed
fi

xrandr --auto;

unset check;

which looks wrong to my eyes (at least that if [[ == True ]]; shouldn't happen).

thanks fixed.

If I'm using sddm as display manager I encounter a strange delay of 10-20 (edit) (see also edit2) second until display manager starts. Maybe you encounter the same issue

edit2:

install either haveged or rng-tools (rng-tools if you have hardware random number generator) activate either haveged or rngd systemd service

And after your fix, the config you provide above:

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier "layout"
   Screen 0 "nvidia"
   Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier "nvidia"
   Driver "nvidia"
   BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "nvidia"
   Device "nvidia"
   Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier "intel"
   Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "intel"
   Device "intel"
EndSection

now works. I can now use my Nvidia card again. Thank you, you're the man!
