GPU switch and second monitor

@PABLO_666

Seems a ventoy problem, cuz fedora program worked fine

Possibly, since you installed it from their website instead of from the repository. But that doesn’t explain why you have a corrupted pacman database on a freshly installed system.

@Aragorn

why you have a corrupted pacman database on a freshly installed system.

theres any command to restore the database?

[Aragorn]

I already gave it to you, and you said you ran it. But it didn’t fix the problem, so I’m out of guesses.

[PABLO_666]

I ran it on trminal and gave a output saying ok

[Aragorn]

You still didn’t answer my question from post #48…

@Aragorn

You still didn’t say what ISO you were installing from, because the only thing I can think of is that it would have been an old and outdated ISO.

[PABLO_666]

I awnsered 2 times, gonna awnser the third, I installed in the link you sent me,the oficial manjaro download page

[Aragorn]

That is not what I asked. I want to know the name of the ISO.

[PABLO_666]

manjaro-kde-23.0.4-231015-linux65.iso

[Aragorn]

If…

• the ISO you installed was manjaro-kde-23.0.4-231015-linux65.iso; and…
• you downloaded it via the official Manjaro website; and…
• the checksum matched; and…
• it booted up well and installed well; then…

… barring any hardware failures, the pacman database should be healthy. By consequence, you must have done something to corrupt the database. Perhaps you installed packages without syncing your mirrors first and/or without updating your system, leading to a partial update scenario.

Considering that your package manager says that you’ve got packages installed which you do not have, as well as packages with outdated dependencies, there is no other possibility. If the database on the ISO itself were corrupt, then we’d already have long heard about that by now, because 23.0.4 Uranos has been around for quite a while already.

So… Perhaps it is time for you to tell us what you’ve been doing in the meantime since your initial installation and present time.

[PABLO_666]

I installed apps only using flatpak and installed snap

Maybe I instaled one or two in pacman

[Aragorn]

Well, uninstall those Snaps and FlatPaks then, because they’re most likely what has been interfering with your update and your graphics drivers. They are containerized third-party applications.

[PABLO_666]

I reinstalled manjaro sometimes and it’s working the second monitor, how do I change GPU?

[Aragorn]

Haven’t we been there already? Update your system and then install the packages I recommended.

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu optimus-manager-plasma plasma5-applets-optimus-gpu-switcher

[PABLO_666]

It gives an error when I run the optimus-manager : no state file found. Is optimus-manager.service running?

[Aragorn]

@PABLO_666

Is optimus-manager.service running?

You probably need to enable it yourself…

sudo systemctl enable --now optimus-manager

This will not only start it, but also make sure that it gets automatically started at boot time.

1. Please do not post screenshots or — even worse — photos of terminal window output. They needlessly take up space in the database, they are not searchable, and they cannot be quoted from. Mark the text in the terminal window with the mouse and paste it here between two lines of three backticks. That way it’s more readable too.

2. You are not supposed to start it manually. The systemctl command I gave you runs it as a daemon. The idea is that you add the applet to the panel or the system tray and that you use that for switching.

3. I’m afraid I must decline at this point. As I said earlier, I have no experience with Nvidia graphics, and I’m not using any laptop — this is a desktop machine with integrated Intel graphics. As such, I’m afraid I can no longer be of help.

[PABLO_666]

Ok, thanks

@Aragorn

Mark the text in the terminal window with the mouse and paste it here between two lines of three backticks.

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

For more information, please see:

@Fabby

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
