optimus switchable graphics are only on notebooks …
it will not persist to reboots if you switch nvidia on manually…
But if yoiu do “switch” in the meaning of set it up to only run nvidia… there will be an issue loading the driver we cpould check the botjournal if you mind… send me in PM to not post uuids and stuff public:
journalctl -b -0 | eos-sendlog will pastebin it you can PM me the URL or use any other srvice…
xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink nvidia Intel is not working too?
and what is the output of this:
pacman -Qs nvidia
OK this issue has been resolved. It was my own fault. I reinstalled EndeavourOS and this time instead of choosing LEGACY secure boot off I chose UEFI boot and it boots up fasted the grub menu does that little animation thing and the default install driver is noveau. BUT after doing nvidia-inst, rebooting I cannot tell if it has the proprietary driver installed.

It is installed. Check that it is in use:
inxi -Gza
lspci -vnn | grep -PA10 'VGA|3D|Display'

it seems to be installed… if itwould not the nvidia-inst command would show error in output…
and as before… inxi -Gaz will show exactly what drivers are used… and what GPU–
and i mentioned already… i would may came up with a conclusion/solution if you send me the boot journal…
in a P.M. journalctl -b -0 | eos-sendlog and send me the url it shows in a message not here public…
This is the output for inxi -Gaz

is the only hint in the journal about nvidia all together because:
i do not see DRM modesetting is added to cmd line… without this it will not load the nvidia modules.
How do I add it?
you have used nvidia-inst to install nvidia?
If so it should be there if it was running without error.
But add it…
running systemd-boot? or you do changed bootloader to grub on installation ?
Yes, you are right. I did change my bootloader to GRUB on install.
okay so you can add it in this way:
gedit admin:///etc/default/grub
and add it to this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nvidia-drm.modeset=1 resume=UUID=...
ading this parameter nvidia-drm.modeset=1 sperated by a space … not removing anything else…
see here also:
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/nvidia-optional-enhancements-and-troubleshooting/2021/03/
after:
2. Adding it to grub kernel line:
…
and regenerate grub.cfg:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
gedit command not found
I will do it using the commands in the link provided
This is the result for
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT='0'
GRUB_TIMEOUT='5'
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='EndeavourOS'
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nowatchdog nvme_load=YES rd.luks.uuid=fb8cdde0-28b6-4d82-8845-a15f4a99ca4a loglevel=3 nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
gedit is legacy i see… nit anymore installed on gnome …
wiuth “result” you mean after editing it? and do you run the grub-mkconfig command?
Of course not I ran the command sudo nano /etc/default/grub and the NVIDIA modset line was already there.
