The system is loaded correctly so don’t worry too much. It’s now just a matter of getting it to load. These integrated graphics are a bit tricky.

Edit: Let me look over some stuff and see. I’m more familiar with Nvidia desktop cards as i have GTX 1060.

63

What desktop are you running?

64

Can you be more specific? I use laptop.

65

What did you install? Xfce? or something else?

66

What version of the package do you have installed? I thought this had been fixed with version 2.4.5-1?

67

I use KDE.

see "nvidia-installer-check" says my 1080 is not supported - #43 by Toni

68

He just installed using sudo nvidia-installer-dkms -b and it is okay. I think the database tool still has some issue. I’m just now trying to get optimus set up.

Edit: His card is GTX 1050 mobile according to what he posted.

@Toni

Try installing the Optimus then you have to do some other things so install this first and then reboot.

yay -S optimus-manager-qt

70

warning: optimus-manager-qt-1.5.3-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
Rebooting…

71

Once you have that installed and rebooted run this.

systemctl status optimus-manager

Then this

sudo systemctl enable --now optimus-manager

I already have the service enabled.

73

Now switch to Nvidia GPU, right-click on the Tray and select “Switch to Nvidia“

Edit:

systray

74

But there is no panel. I don’t even have prime-select in my terminal. Only prime-switch and prime-offload

75

Did you try this before because we just installed the qt version for kde?

76

Are you looking in the task bar? Not the menu!

77

no_tray
All my info are actual unless stated otherwise.

78

Maybe reboot again just to make sure. As far as i can see Nvidia and Bumblebee installed correctly and so did the Optimus manager.

79

Done rebooting again, optimus-manager service is running but there is no graphic switch tray.

80

You might have to disable the bumblebeed.service also.
