I’ve been tinkering with Wayland & nVidia (yes I know I like punishment…) I’ve got it working very well, except for GWE not working & no output for nVidia sensors in Conky. I’m not troubled without GWE (don’t O/C my card anyway), but I do like to keep track of temps because I do BOINC work.
nvidia-smi -q -d temperature

Should do it.
nvidia-smi -q -d temperature | grep -i "GPU Current"
I don’t have nVidia stuff - but I have seen conky code for displaying fan etc for nVidia. Now if only I could remember where I saw it! Apparently it is extractable - should I go looking for it? It could even be in hwmon somewhere…
to get the info I really needed…You see above what it takes now to just get Temps…there is NO access to GPU Freq or Memory freq or temp in Wayland at this time.
I wasn’t sure about Wayland (haven’t found a reason to use it yet), so I’m not too surprised! A VERY knowledgable conky friend of mine has nVidia, so I was aware he got lots more info into conky, but he’s on X still too…
And I now see another problem that is a deal-breaker for me with Wayland. I run BOINC 24/7 & when I woke the system up this morning—BOINC was “frozen”. Need to do some checking into why that happened–of course, that is not happening in Xorg…going to bugreport to BOINC about it.
