Hi
My laptop has Nvidia 750M along with 4th gen integrated Intel graphics and is on Manjaro-KDE-minimal. I have video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebee installed. The problem that if I launch nvidia-settings from application launcher it just doesn’t open. If do it from terminal, I don’t even get any output. Same behaviour with nvidia-smi also.
As an after effect, shutdown or restart takes extremely long and displays Waiting for process: nvidia-settings, Xorg
Whats even weird is that this is not happen every-time! Roughly once every 20 reboots, everything just works fine. I can launch nvidia-settings and the shutdown/reboot is also smooth. Please help me with this. :pleading_face: :pray:
I am not very experienced with his but I still tried to poke around, try solutions and carry out an investigation to the best of my knowledge as detailed below:
- If I execute
pgrep nvidia-settingsto get pid to try to kill it withkill -9 pid, it just does not get killed! - Adding
noueau.modeset=0toGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" "does nothing for me so reverted. - I have tried ditching bumblebee and using
optimus-managerbut if I switch to nvidia withoptimus-manager --switch nvidia, the screen goes blank after login screen. - Tried running
nvidia-settings -pm 1at boot as a systemd service. This also did nothing for me but there is an interesting observation. If I check the status of the service I created, it mostly displays it was successful and nothing special. Remember I mentioned once every few reboots, everything just works fine. Whenever that happens, the service status is populated additionally with an output saying persistence mode is already enabled. - If I comment out
blacklist nvidia-drmfrom/lib/modprobe.d/bumblebee.confthe issue is resolved. Now,nvidia-settingsandnvidia-smiworks fine. But now some apps won’t launch. E.g, if I launchkitty, I get,
$ kitty
[286 13:33:58.376165] [glfw error 65542]: GLX: GLX extension not found
[286 13:33:58.376211] Failed to create GLFW temp window! This usually happens because of old/broken OpenGL drivers. kitty requires working OpenGL 3.3 drivers.
But if execute optirun kitty it just works!!
I am a student and want to get started with learning cuda. So, this is kinda necessary. The hardware is getting somewhat old and have started saving for a new device but this gets most of the job done and i think it is wiser to keep going as long as it can as the gpu prices get more reasonable.
