Optimus Manager issues

shockwave · August 26, 2020, 4:44am

I have an Asus ROG 752vw laptop that has hybrid graphics intel/Nvidia 960m. I previously had this setup using prime on Manjaro. After installing EOS, I tried following the method listed here on the forums of installing Bumblee and then installing Optimus-manager. This computer does not work with Bunblebee at all, and I had to reinstall.

The second time, I followed the Github: https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager. Everything seems to be working, but I noticed today that I am back on the intel driver. If I try to switch to Nvidia, I get the following.

I am running gnome and have removed the # in front of walyand=false.

I also installed optimus-manager-qt but do not have the drop down icons to switch between cards.

*** Edit****

A little more information. After resetting, I was able to switch. However, after I am logged out, I get a black screen with a curser. If I switch to a different tty and then back again, the login screen is there and I can login.

optimus-manager --switch nvidia

If your login manager is GDM, make sure to follow those instructions:
https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager#important--gnome-and-gdm-users
If your display manager is neither GDM, SDDM nor LightDM, or if you don't use one, read the wiki:

@dglt if you’re still somewhere here, i know that you’re expert on that Optimus mess

joekamprad · August 26, 2020, 9:25am

Gnome launches Wayland sessions by default, which are incompatible with optimus-manager. To force Xorg sessions, You need to edit the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf and remove the # before the line #WaylandEnable=false .

running GDM?

keybreak · August 26, 2020, 9:28am

Assuming he meant #WaylandEnable=false

Yes, sorry. That’s what I meant.

What does prime offload do? Is that something I need to do each time I switch? I have never used that command before.

sawdoctor · August 26, 2020, 3:39pm

What are you trying to run in prime? Lutris gives you the option to launch games in prime render off load. I find that easier to launch games with prime. But I’m not on optimus

keybreak · August 26, 2020, 4:16pm

Probably i should add this to gaming guide for those who use Optimus
Seems it requires Prime and patched xorg though

Excellent guide absolutely fantastic. Lutris also makes it easy to launch feral game mode too

shockwave · August 28, 2020, 3:30am

So I have been using optimus for a few days now and it is working. The laptop gets pretty hot and I feel like the fan isn’t cranking up all the way.

Is there a way I can check this? Is there a way to increase the fan speed?

After a little research I found the following info. I ran a game to test it. It seems that the gpu is not even close to maximizing, but the performance is definitely sub-par.

After resetting the computer, it seems to have booted back to the intel chip again. I feel like there is something that I am missing or something I have done wrong.

keybreak · August 28, 2020, 6:24am

Return this command:

journalctl -p3 -xb

Let’s see if there are some errors in journal

linesma · August 28, 2020, 7:39am

I have never been able to get Optimus Manager to work properly myself. I still use @dglt Optimus Switch program that he wrote for MJ on an Arch install. It can be completely set up using a TTY if you can’t log in.

For Gnome:

In order to use it with EnOS, you need to install the nVidia driver using their tools. You can do this by: sudo nvidia-installer-dkms

Once you have the driver installed, you can follow the rest of the instructions as written. If you want a GUI/ Indicator for Optimus-Switch, I have written a little program. Even though it still says Manjaro in the description, It still works on Arch and EnOS. Removing the MJ reference is still on my list of things to do. You can find it here:

WARNING Make sure you uninstall Optimus Manager completely before installing Optimus-Switch.

This is what I was using on Manjaro and it worked great for me. I think I will give this a go. What is the way to check my current drivers and kernal in Arch?

So to be clear.

uninstall optimus-manager via

optimus-manager

Then run

sudo nvidia-installer-dkms

then follow the dglt1 optimus switch guide?

As somebody who just spent 2 hours yesterday trying to get optimus-manager working on my hybrid laptop, I might have to try this method…

That’s best available, @dglt is a real deal!
