Hi folks, I ran into some issues after the removal of optimus-manager from my laptop with intel/nvidia dual graphics. I did that, because nvidia-prime seems to be the way to handle optimus-switching in the future.
Because my system did some unexpected things in steam games after the optimus-manager removal, I deleted and re-installed the non-free nvidia drivers. I also removed the intel-, nvidia- and mhwd-config-files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d . After that I ran mhwd -lh.
Right now most things seem to work, but my scanner software VueScan has a massive startup lag - even after re-installing it several times from the AUR or as a flatpack. When I start it (with or without prime-run), it freezes at the small startup-window, but the actual program starts after around 7 minutes. And I still have some quirks in certain games.
Probably I broke a config somewhere, but I don’t know where to look at… Any suggestions?
- Please read this:
How to provide good information
and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
- An
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --widthwould be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text. - Executing VueScan in a terminal and providing the output would be helpful as well.
P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which exact CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time

Executing vuescan via terminal generates no output at all. I presume, that it is scanning for hardware (i.e. available scanners/cameras) during the startup every time.
Another oddity after removing optimus-manager and the mentioned files in xorg.conf.d is, that mouse and external keyboard (both Razer products) are available when I have to enter the disk encryption password, than are not available at the xfce password screen (I have to use the laptop keyboard) and than also need some time (~1-2min) to be detected when the desktop is already booted. Keyboard and mouse become available, when the bluetooth icon is appearing. So could it probably be a USB config issue?
please install both 5.4 and 5.10 LTS (Long Time Support) and see which one of the two troubles you least.
Does this also happen when you create a new user and log in there? (E.G. fumum_vendidi2)
Well, I don’t think it is a kernel issue, because I was on 5.13.5-1 before and did not have any trouble until removing the mentioned program/config files. I already tried a fallback on 5.10 LTS and the issues were the same.
edit:
- Same VueScan behaviour with different user.
- Meanwhile I did some more testing and it seams to be an issue with messed up hardware detection. I ran VueScan via terminal an tried to run mhwd and inxi in other terminal windows during the lag phase. Both inxi and mhwd stalled. Other operations in terminal windows (i.e. nano, etc.) worked normally.
How do I fix a messed up mhwd / hardware detection config? Uninstalling and re-installing mhwd made no difference.
I still couldn’t fix my issues, but now I am quite convinced it has something to do with hardware detection. The detection of external mouse and keyboard takes much longer than before the mentioned removal of optimus-manager and config files. The slow startup of VueScan also seems to be an issue of laggy hardware detection. Maybe it has something to do with Xorg and/or Lightdm.
Does nobody have an idea how to find the issue and fix it? I really don’t want to re-install the whole system from scratch.
gscan2pdf is available from the community repository and works fine here in infrequent use. Maybe give that one a try?
Well, VueScan does work fine after about 7 or so minutes. My intention is to fix the underlying problem.
