Problem with prime-run

whitecastle · 21 March 2021 18:51

Hello! I installed video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime and I cannot use prime-run to run applications with my nvidia graphic card. xrandr --listproviders also list only one provider.

prime-run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL"

For me it shows:

lsmod |grep nvidia
nvidia_drm             65536  2
nvidia_modeset       1232896  3 nvidia_drm

Seems like you are either missing some nvidia packages or maybe some configs. Try to uninstall and install it again using mhwd via tty, then reboot.

Did you use mhwd to install the drivers for the first time?

Please post the full output of inxi -G, and furthermore the latest Xorg log file (which is either in /var/log/ or ~/.local/share/xorg/).

It seems that I cannot post .txt file, do you need the output of cat Xorg.0.log? (it is very long)

edit : ok I didn’t know about pastebin services. But I am a new account and thus cannot paste link. h t t p : / / ix . io / 2TIE

and thank you for your help

whitecastle · 22 March 2021 08:25

I did the installation via gui “Hardware Configuration” of KDE, I clicked on Auto Install Proprietary Driver and I think it auto installed video-hybrid.

But yes ok let me try.

Edit : So I uninstalled the driver (sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime) and successfully reinstalled it (sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime) then reboot, but it still outputs the same error :

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  39
  Current serial number in output stream:  40

And additionally the output of lsmod | grep nvidia is now empty

pobrn · 22 March 2021 12:46

There’s nothing saying “NVIDIA” in the logs, so there might be some misconfiguration. Please post the output of head -n 999 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I don’t have a xorg.conf file in my X11 directory

cd /etc/X11 && ls -a

You have optimus-manager? If so, then you need to switch to “hybrid” mode for prime-run to work.

megavolt · 22 March 2021 13:27

@whitecastle

Looks like optimus-manager has renamed:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf.bak

you use this one:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-optimus-manager.conf

10 has a higher priority than 90 and therefore it uses the 10-optimus-manager.conf, but there is no nvidia gpu written, but in 90-mhwd.conf.bak… do you see it?

whitecastle · 22 March 2021 13:49

Ok I see! Yes I didn’t remember I have optimus-manager. And Indeed I cannot switch to hybrid mode directly

optimus-manager --switch hybrid

ERROR: a GPU setup was initiated but Xorg post-start hook did not run.

Cannot execute command because of previous errors.

Should I remove optimus-manager then? Or modify 10-optimus-manager.conf?

pobrn · 22 March 2021 14:10

Run prime-offload and try again.

whitecastle · 22 March 2021 14:16

It didn’t work

pobrn · 22 March 2021 14:27

What’s in /etc/optimus-manager/optimus-manager.conf?

whitecastle · 22 March 2021 14:33

there is no optimus-manager.conf in /etc/optimus-manager/

ls -a /etc/optimus-manager/
.   nvidia-disable.sh  xorg              xsetup-integrated.sh
..  nvidia-enable.sh   xsetup-hybrid.sh  xsetup-nvidia.sh

pobrn · 22 March 2021 14:50

Do you get any output when you run prime-offload?

whitecastle · 22 March 2021 15:15

pobrn · 22 March 2021 15:16

And when you run optimus-manager --switch hybrid you get the exact same error?

whitecastle · 22 March 2021 16:02

Oh yes I am able to switch now

optimus-manager --switch hybrid
WARNING : no power management option is currently enabled (this is the default since v1.2). Switching between GPUs will work but you will likely experience poor battery life.

whitecastle · 22 March 2021 16:04

So I switched but now the display is like super slow on my external monitor
