Sure… can’t hurt now.

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 3:20pm

No, inxi -Ga shows no driver loaded :-(.

I just went to look at the gfx options in the UEFI, and there are none. Just spotted it’s an InsydeH20 bios, so probably little chance of getting a modded version.

It really doesn’t seem to want to load drivers for that card at all.

ricklinux · June 25, 2022, 3:22pm

I’m not sure how the these Max Q work exactly. It definitely isn’t showing the driver in the output. What does this show

pacman -Qi nvidia

Looks like the drivers are installed? Also looks like we got rid of bumblebee? So I’m not sure what needs to be done here? @jonathon may be able to weigh in where to go from here. He’s got more knowledge than i do on this.

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 3:30pm

thanks rick, really appreciate your time helping with this

jonathon · June 25, 2022, 3:33pm

OK, let’s start with the output of:

dkms status
nvidia-smi

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 3:35pm

[jclow@Promootheus-Laptop ~]$ dkms status
nvidia/515.48.07, 5.18.6-arch1-1, x86_64: installed
[jclow@Promootheus-Laptop ~]$ nvidia-smi

nvidia-smi just seems to be doing nothing

jonathon · June 25, 2022, 3:42pm

Next,

sudo modprobe -r nouveau
sudo modprobe nvidia
nvidia-smi

?

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 3:45pm

nothing shows up with those. I wonder if it’s a kernel version issue with thed current driver. Just found this…

jonathon · June 25, 2022, 3:47pm

That just means they are completing without error.

That’s a different driver version, though the pointer to the ibt=off kernel parameter is a good reminder, and that’s worth trying given you have an Intel CPU.

Could you also provide

head /etc/default/grub

and the contents of any file under /etc/modprobe.d/ that refers to Nvidia (e.g. /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf).

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 3:50pm

Just rebooted to try that and realized I don’t know nwhat key to press on the grub menu to edit the boot params

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 3:51pm

[jclow@Promootheus-Laptop ~]$ head /etc/default/grub
# GRUB boot loader configuration

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="EndeavourOS"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 nowatchdog nvme_load=YES nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"
[jclow@Promootheus-Laptop ~]$

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 3:53pm

only one file in /etc/modprobe.d/ called firewall-sysctls.conf

no nvidia conf

jonathon · June 25, 2022, 3:57pm

Just to verify, what’s

cat /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-utils.conf

?

It should be just blacklist nouveau .

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 4:01pm

[jclow@Promootheus-Laptop ~]$ cat /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-utils.conf
blacklist nouveau

anon8865670 · June 25, 2022, 4:08pm

I changed nvidia modeset to 0, and also added ibt=0, now it loads the driver. not sure which one of the two made it load the driver, so will go back and test with just modeset 0

nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is required for things.

This is more likely the answer, especially given it’s what I referred to previously.

ricklinux · June 25, 2022, 4:10pm

@jonathon I had forgotten about ibt=0. I thought they had that fixed already.
