For some reason my Nvidia GP107M is using nouveau instead of the driver, that is “N/A” despite installing it numerous times before, i even tried to downgrade nvidia and related packages to an older version but nothing helped, heres the output of inxi -Ga
Don’t see anything in dmesg that would imply a pci failure and I used to have optimus-manager too, which I figured could be the source of the issue, but after removing it it still persists, please help!
This is obviously a hybrid laptop. It is currently rendering on the Intel driver. If you don’t use optimus-manager how are you switching graphics? Maybe you ought to try envy-control
I previously used optimus-manager, had it set to nvidia only because I didn’t want to use the iGPU at all.
When running things like glxgears -info or vulkaninfo --summary I saw that indeed my Nvidia GPU was being used, although with Nouveau drivers, which I didn’t even know was possible honestly
I am on the latest nvidia and nvidia-utils package that shows up when I try to update my system (nvidia because I use linux-lts (and thus I don’t need -dkms, right?))
