After PC Upgrade, Plasma not loading Nvidia GPU

Support Graphics & Display
,
1

Thank you for reading my post. I’m grateful for your help. I’m not experienced in such matters - yet!

After a serious car accident, and things going in storage while I recovered for over a year, I upgraded my system as follows: CPU [AMD Rizen 5 5500], ASUS Motherboard, RAM 32mb, and GPU Nvidia RX5030.

However, I cannot load the desktop, [plasma]. I think the most recent kernel on my system is: version 5.4.210-1-MANJARO

Error messages follow:

“Proc: Bad Value for hidepid”

“(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found”

I looked for appropriate graphics drivers, and tried searching with mhwd:

$ sudo nvidia-settings
$ command not found

I tried updating the system also.

The following steps were tried but I’m still flummoxed.

Please advise. Much appreciated.

can you please report

sudo mhwd-kernel -li
sudo mhwd -li 
inxi -Fza

Thank you!
Here are the results of those 3 commands - the last one was too long to get every detail on screen.

  1. You must install a supported kernel: the single supported kernel is 5.4, all other are not supported.
  2. Try to boot with kernel 5.4, remove all other kernels and install kernels 6.1 and 6.6.

5.10 is LTS too.

Please see this howto:

[HowTo] Use public command-line pastebin services without installing anything!

for example:

inxi -zv8 | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st

then post the link that comes back
instead of pictures

Thanks again! I don’t know how to uninstall [these kernels] from CLI. Sorry!
I’ll try booting into 5.4 and let you know how that goes. Cheers! :beers:

First install a supported one - or more than just one.
Boot (reboot) so that you are now running this kernel.
Then you can remove the old one.
mhwd-kernel -h
gives you instructions if you can’t use the GUI

Your video drivers
mhwd -li
look pretty old to me:
video-linux from 2018.05.04

do these commands again and direct the output to a pastebin service as shown above
the pictures are … not good enough

9

You can also remove kernel with the Manjaro settings manager.

And then install kernel 6.1 and 6.6.

10

sure ???

11

Can you post the output of
inxi -Fza instead of the picture ?

Dear experts,
Sorry for my ineptitude but I have failed to work out how to use the paste bin services, and resorted to using character recognition from the images of the terminal data, i.e. results of > inxi -Fza

Please note, I have to login to windows 11 on my second HDD to send messages and I copy down any troubleshooting tips.

Perhaps it would be best to reinstall Manjaro, although all data will be lost? Also, I hope the new GPU and WM [Plasma] will be detected and start to work?

Thank you for any help you can offer. Data follows,

That is quite a feat - and an, to me, almost incredible accomplishment

and massive overcomplification as well.

inxi -Fza
gives output
…

you want to make it available to others:

[HowTo] Use public command-line pastebin services without installing anything!

This does not tell you how to do it?

My take away from this would be:

inxi -Fza | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st

I get this link back:

https://0x0.st/8Anl.txt

and there you go … post that link

… visit that link - and see your output …
or mine, in this case

You don’t need AI - just employ your own Intelligence … your own not artificial intelligence, but hopefully your very own …

ps:

format the output to something readable - please!

this symbol in the editor here: → </>

I have (crudely) done the editing for you.

… much of the output is missing - was apparently missed by your AI

14

not correct

install linux54-nvidia

  • stable: 550.144.03-2
15

Can you post inxi -Fza in one single logfile (output) ?

16

I tried and failed. I had no way to save the data and forward it from within Manjaro. I also tried install linux54-nvidia but all I got was a blinking curser at the terminal. I will have another attempt or start from scratch. Thanks!

17

can you please :

for ventoy ( Ventoy )

  • try boot with new USB iso
18

Thanks again, Stephane, et al. I put the lastest version of Manjaro on USB stick and booted into the live system. However, the wifi did not work, so I was unable to find or install a compatible driver. My router is downstairs and I cannot connect to it by ethernet, so I’m still stuck.

19

Move the PC to the router and plug it then.
