Nvidia issue, i think

I just installed EndeavourOS 22.8. I think i have an nvidia issue. I am not really sure what it is
I’m adding some screen captures here:

2022-09-17_16-09

2022-09-17_14-24

I can not use nvidia-smi or nvidia-setting os nvidia x server settings either.

and prime-run inxi -Ga
?

What is the full hardware output?

inxi -Faz | eos-sendlog

Does it not boot to the desktop?

Edit: Is this a laptop? It is currently rendering on Intel Gpu
Edit2: Your post doesn’t really explain what your issue is?

First of all looking at the output it shows no driver for Nvidia loaded. You probably need to add ibt=off to the default grub command line in /etc/default/grub Then you have to update grub with sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Edit: Then reboot & run again

inxi -Ga

Yes it is laptop. I boots desktop normally but can not switch between modes with optimus-manager.

It doesn’t look like you ran the grub update command?

Edit: You have to add this permanently using a text editor and save the file and then update grub with the command given.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

add this to the default grub command line

ibt=off

use ctrl + o then enter to save the file
use ctrl + x to exit nano

Then run

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Then reboot

Driver should show nvidia!

Oh, my bad. Think this absolutely solved my problem. Thank you so much.

Now that solves the one problem. So you just have to learn how your hardware can switch between graphics using one of the methods available.

I think you mean bb, optimus-manager, optimus-switch etc. (?) I installed optimus-manager and using it for now.

Excellent!
