running lspci -k | grep -B2 "Kernel driver in use:" | grep -PA2 'VGA|Display|3D' gives me these output
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP108M [GeForce MX230] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0979
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
What should i do ?
In debian based, i’ve just used nvidia-detect and it detect nvidia driver as nvidia-driver and it worked , but in here i’m getting this error.
Please tell me what should i do?
I prefer as much as opensource version of things. I could just use Noveau driver. but my problem comes when installing like those deep learning libraries such as Pytorch or tensorflow, which requires cuda to be install .
If it is possible to install cuda in endeavour but using Nouveau , i’m happy to use Nouveau.
I see in debian i’ve used to get backward X11 display when i install proprietary nvidia driver but wayland on opensource.
What is the official driver for your GPU? You can probably find the proprietary drivers in the AUR.
nvidia-installer-dkms package is supposed to make it convenient to find your graphics drivers, but if it does not work in your case, you can still do everything it does manually.
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX230
GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7
I see Intel version if already installed. I dont know how can i find Mx230 graphics card.
and if i did find , would it only worked, i mean i want to run both, nvidia have only 2gb space, while ram have 16 gb.
I heard optimus and bumblebee, but never tried to manual install, i fear of break.
Now i’ve some confusions , like If i installed, would they be automatically loaded from my current-kernel.I’ve also another kernel lts, what if i ran those would they also work .
and if i install nvidia-470xx-dkms would i get that handy switch on that dropdown panel , kind of i used to get in ubuntu
or if not this
to get both into hybrid graphics, i wouldnt need to restart to change to different drivers and use both two in hybrid mode.
If you use Gnome or the Gnome Display Manager (GDM), there are a couple extra requirements to be able to use optimus-manager :
The default gdm package from the Archlinux and Manjaro repositories is not compatible with optimus-manager, so you must replace it with this patched version : gdm-prime (also replaces libgdm). The patch was written by Canonical for Ubuntu and simply adds two script entry points specifically for Prime switching. The package is otherwise identical to the official one.
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.
Another quirk of GDM is that the X server may not automatically restart after a GPU switch. If you see an empty black screen or a black screen with a blinking cursor, try switching back to an empty TTY (with Ctrl+Alt+F5 for instance), then back to TTY1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1. See this FAQ question.
I removed current gdm pacman -Rs gdm
and installed gdm-prime through aur yay -S gdm-prime
There was no custom.conf only custom.conf.pacsave was there , anyway , i created custom.conf
uncommented WaylandEnable=false
This third option kind of unknown, Another quirk of GDM is that the X server may not automatically restart after a GPU switch tells me to go to tty, now after what ?
Thank you , it is more hassle, thanks not to nvidia company i would never buy nvidia in my life and if got kids force them not to
This is why i also will never get a hybrid laptop. I don’t care if it has Nvidia or amd. If it has more than one graphics chip i’m not buying it. Currently my Ryzen laptops using amdgpu are fantastic.
