Cpu overheating

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
41

But? What do you mean?

42

when i watch youtube and touch laptop i feel the heat but now match cooler

43

Well like i said it is running strictly on the Intel graphics currently as shown here

API: OpenGL v: 4.6 Mesa 22.3.3 renderer: Mesa Intel Xe Graphics (TGL GT2)
direct render: Yes

The only thing we have done is corrected the Nvidia so that it loads properly. But it is not being used for graphics the Intel is.

44

oky and thanks for all

If you want to try optimus-manager to switch graphics you could try it and see first of all whether it works for you.

You have to install the AUR package.

yay -S optimus-manager-qt

Then reboot. Check if optimus-manager is running.

systemctl status optimus-manager

If itā€™s not running then you can start and enable it with this command.

sudo systemctl enable --now optimus-manager

There should be a tray icon that loads that looks like this on KDE.

optimus-manager-qt

You can click on the tray icon to switch. Or you can use commands from the terminal.

optimus-manager --switch nvidia
to switch to the Nvidia GPU
optimus-manager --switch integrated
to switch to the integrated GPU and power the Nvidia GPU off
optimus-manager --switch hybrid
to switch to the iGPU but leave the Nvidia GPU available for on-demand offloading, similar to how Optimus works on Windows.

Edit: I canā€™t guarantee it will automatically work for you but you would have to try it and see.

46

oky i will

47

If you havenā€™t used yay to build packages then when you install optimus-manager-qt it will ask many questions. Just read them to get familiar with what itā€™s asking and just press enter after for each. Eventfully you may use some of the package build features when you gain enough knowledge. For now just follow along read and press enter for each. Good Luck.

48

thank you but what cus this problem

49

Do you mean the nvidia driver not loading?

50

yes

51

Iā€™m not sure what you are asking? Have you installed optimus manager?

52

yes

I donā€™t know. Maybe you can post the log? Give me the link that it shows.

Can you try switching directly to nvidia?

optimus-manager --switch nvidia

Then if it works post the output to see if it switched. Otherwise youā€™ll get another error i suppose?

inxi -Ga
56

didnt work

57

Check if you have this file? 10-optimus-manager.conf If so i think you need to remove it. It is located here:

 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-optimus-manager.conf
58

Maybe see if it shows what is in it. Post the URL only!

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-optimus-manager.conf | eos-sendlog

Edit: You could try just deleting the file also

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-optimus-manager.conf

@pipo1 please use code tags!
