GPU upgrade Nvidia to AMD, stuck at boot

Support Graphics & Display
,
1

Hello,

I have upgraded my gpu and read about it before I did it. The answers ranged from “just put it in, Linux will recognize it” to “uninstall the driver then shut down and switch”.

So I tried uninstalling but it would not let me. So I replaced the GPU and it worked. That was on Cachy-OS which is arch based too so I thought that this would work on Manjaro as well. Man was I wrong.

I tried following being stuck in boot:

strg+alt+F2 to get into the console:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-470xx 
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
sudo pacman -Rns linux-nvidia-470xx lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils nvidia-470xx-utils nvidia-470xx-settings opencl-nvidia
sudo pacman -Rns linux-nvidia lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-utils nvidia-settings opencl-nvidia
rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf

List installed drivers:
mhwd --listinstalled

List nv drivers:
pamac list --installed | grep nvidia

sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-linux

Nothing worked. Driver listings are useless, because they show them even after uninstalling. Maybe I uninstalled them wrongly?

Then I tried updating via sudo pakman -Syu. No change.

I ran journalctl and it said it couldnt find an NV-GPU… no sht sherlock…

How do I tell Manjaro that there is another GPU and why doesnt it simply recognize like other Arch based systems, Ubuntu and others can?

Now I tried:

sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia

This was not successful stating that it breaks dependencies with nvidia-utils needed by python-py3nvml and libxnvctrl required by psensor.

That is exactly the problem I ran into with Cachy-OS, which was why I replaced the GPU because it wouldnt let me uninstall the drivers anyways.

I dont want to uninstall every single app - if possible because I get the feeling that it would just end up citing more apps that depend on them, getting deeper into the rabbit hole.

I don’t know if my approach is correct.

But when changing any hardware, I wouldn’t uninstall the old drivers first. Instead, I would take a snapshot first, then install the new drivers, and then install the new hardware.

If something really gets in the way during installation, it’s usually handled correctly. :wink:

3

I’ve always just replaced the GPU then installed the new driver and uninstalled the old one, then if needed changed the config, followed by a reboot.

We wouldn’t know as you didn’t provide the output.

You replaced your GPU because you couldn’t uninstall the drivers for your old GPU? :confused:

Yes, you’ll need to uninstall nvidia-utils too. py3nvml and libxnvctrl are for querying nvidia cards.

4

How could I provide an output when I cannot boot into the OS?

psensor is no nv util. NV was just one device it monitored, which makes it even worse, that one cannot simply say… .then be gone with it and go on uninstalling!

Sounds odd to me considering that for one I have read in a lot of answers that all drivers are installed anyways in Linux.

Secondly if the system just refuses to recognize another gpu then what good does a driver install do? On boot it still says that it cannot find the nv-gpu.

I kinda thought when I install gpu-drivers via
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-linux it would simply detect the new card, but ofc it didnt.

Redirect to file or upload to a paste site.

You could chroot from a live USB and then just copy it.

Try uninstalling it and reinstall it after you’ve got your system sorted.

Not all, but a lot are, and that includes AMD GPU drivers nowadays.

Refuses to recognise and looking for another are not necessarily equal.

Have you checked /etc/mkinitcpio.conf for nvidia modules? You’d need to run sudo mkinitcpio -P and sudo update-grub after modifying it.

Also check /etc/default/grub in case there’s anything in the CMDLINE, you’ll need to run sudo update-grub if you modify it.

Probably best to check /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d in case any files mention nvidia.

Trying to uninstall the apps ofc gives yet another error. Cannot find path or have no access to it.

When I tried sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300 it said that the driver is already there. I checked the log again and it still says it is looking for an nv-card.

I didnt even know mkinitcpio.conf existed or what it is good for. I’ll check it out.

When I tried sudo update-grub yesterday I got yet another error message, which I didnt note down.

I have deleted xorg.conf.d yesterday before installing the amd driver but I’ll check it out.

no clue howto. Wanted to try that after a broken Ubuntu update. No one could tell me howto do it and I do not understand a quarter of the howto’s.

There is literally nothing in there. Just descriptions no data.

No such file exists.
edt.: I did not realize it was a folder. I have found an nvidia-20.conf (or something like that) file and deleted it. To no avail.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf does exist and had nv-related info in it. Deleting that did not do a thing, but I did not expect any because it is rarely that easy.

Guess I have to learn howto redirect an output.

Boot up a live USB, open a terminal, run manjaro-chroot -a, if you have more than one install then select the correct one. Now you should be in the installed system.

However if you use BTRFS then it’s more complicated. At least it was more complicated, there may have been an update to make -a work with btrfs (not sure).

command > /path/to/file

# or if the file is owned by root
command | sudo tee /path/to/file  # default is to overwrite, 
                                  # if you want to append use -a

how can I put the output on another drive?
/run/media/profilename/drivename/filename? (hope it is the same on Manjaro since I am reading from Cachy).

Or would it be dev/nvme-name/?

Does the file have to exist there already or will it be created?

Must be more complicated under Ubuntu because noone dared to tell me. Supposedly because too much can go wrong.

But is it still so easy when someone has 5 drives in the system? Because Manjaro-chroot -a does not say where the OS actually is.

Btrfs I have just tested on Cachy.

The filesystem needs to be mounted. If it’s mounted at /run/media/profilename/drivename/ then yes that would be a suitable path.

However you’ll probably need to mount it manually, so /mnt would be much easier.

sudo mount /dev/something /mnt

command > /mnt/filename

# to unmount
sudo umount /mnt

No. Don’t write directly to the device file, that would presumably screw up the filesystem.

That command detects the installed operating systems and if there’s more than one linux install then it asks you to pick.

I forgot one thing. What output command should I use?

inxi (with some parameters?)
journalctl --boot=-1 --priority=3 --catalog --no-pager ?

I didnt even know this existed. That will make it faster, thanks!

I would suggest inxi -zv8 to start with, and any commands that fail.

We need an idea of the state of your system, because right now we can only guess.

I’ll be AFK for a few hours, so perhaps someone else can help in the meantime.

Maybe the blacklisting of amdgpu is exists.

AMD drivers are supplied by the kernel - and you should have no issues starting the system - AMD is probably the easiest GPU to use on Manjaro LInux - any linux for that matter.

To clarify what mhwd is and do.

mhwd is not a magic wand - but a collection of metadata provided in the package mhwd-db

the metadata is used to recognize various pci devices with CLASS=0300 and the metadata is not removed when you uninstall a driver.

cat /var/lib/mhwd/db/pci/graphic_drivers/video-linux

All commands listed is examples from my workstation and your result will vary accordingly

 $ mhwd -lh | grep -e '0300'
            Display controller   0000:63:00.0    0300    1002    744c         3

From the information obtained mhwd can install the driver matching the hardware

mhwd -a pci free 0300

On rare occasions the vendor:device id is unknown - thus you may choose to manually install a specific driver.

Before installing a specific driver you need to know which meta name to use; this is obtained for an identified device using

 $ mhwd -l
> 0000:63:00.0 (0300:1002:744c) Display controller ATI Technologies Inc:

Doing that it complained that the drive cannot be found in the fstab, which I stopped messing with because whatever I found never worked. Yes I used my drive name that is shown nmve0n1andsoon.

So I could save an output but then I do not have access to the file from another OS. No matter what I try always another problem comes up.

Is there any way to load another keyboard driver in the console? Because it is tedious to have to find the right buttons on the US layout all the time.

Does that mean I have to edit the file and remove nv?

command not found

yea but what can I do with that?
I thought I would get a list of specific drivers for my gpu that way but it is just showing what I installed already.

All NV-drivers on this list say “false” so I guess that means they are not in use.

Video-linux = true

my output:

0300 1002 7550 3 ATI
Display controller   0000:03:00.0    0300 1002 7550 3

gives me the same output:

video-linux            2024.05.06   true  PCI
video-modesetting      2020.01.13   true  PCI
video-vesa             2017.03.12   true  PCI

Under ubuntu I could check for compatible drivers for my device and then install one. Isnt there a similar command to list drivers for my GPU (9070XT)?

(I just copied your output and adapted it to what I noted down from mine. I still cannot save an output to a drive where I have access to from Cachy-OS or Win.)

Manjaro desperately needs a command to push hardware detection to search for new hardware and use it accordingly.

In the time I messed around with it I could have set it up 10 times already. I just dont because of my settings. I made backup’s but I dont know how old the last one is.

There might be another reason why it does not start. Two months ago I saw an 9070xt Linux test claiming that Kernel 6.14 is needed to run that GPU and atm I am on 6.12 on Manjaro if I remember correctly because 6.14 has not progressed far enough yet.

Cachy-OS is running on 6.14.5-3.

Downloaded the iso on my ventoy stick, trying chroot next.

Wait does
nouveau.modeset=1 mean it is still loading the nv driver or is there also an amd nouveau *questionmark - cant find it

This seems interesting too

Still says ofc that python-py3nvml and psensor need the dependencies so I cant uninstall the nv-driver but when I try to uninstall python-py3nvml it says 'could not find path or directory. This is probably just one part of python so the question is which to uninstall.

Also psensor

sudo pacman -r psensor     
error: failed to initialize alpm library:
(root: psensor, dbpath: psensor/var/lib/pacman/)
could not find or read directory

Info only:- Kernel 6.14 has reached EOL and has been removed from the Manjaro repositories.

I assume it’s a typo but nmve0n1andsoon isn’t a partition, /dev/nvme0n1p1 is.

Just in case it helps

nvme0 is a drive
n1 is the first namespace on the drive
p1 is the first partition in the namespace

Of course.

To get a list of available keymaps:

localectl list-keymaps

If you wanted to use real English (British) then you edit /etc/vconsole.conf and put this in it:

KEYMAP=uk

Alternatively you can use a command to do it for you:

sudo localectl set-keymap --no-convert uk

You can also do it temporarily:

sudo loadkeys uk

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console/Keyboard_configuration#Keymaps

It’s an option for nouveau, which is an open source attempt at a driver for nvidia. Not to be confused with nvidia’s own driver. There’s no AMD version of nouveau.

Where did you find it? /etc/default/grub or /etc/sysctl.d/?

As it’s for nouveau it should be removed, it may or may not be what’s causing your issues.

The command to remove a package is -R

sudo pacman -R psensor python-py3nvml libxnvctrl

sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia

Well you could try 6.15 or 6.16

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux615

yea I used nvme0n1p1 but and so on seemed easier to write.

I will try that later, doesnt work on the boot image… unfortunately.

In the inxi output I posted above, 4th or 5th line.

Output

checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing python-py3nvml breaks dependency 'python-py3nvml' required by gwe

edt. I uninstalled GWE and then finally was able to uninstall the nv-driver

But they are in developer mode or how that is called arent they? Ha, found the ?

So the outputs were not useful?

With every uninstall

(1/5) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
(2/5) Refreshing PackageKit...
Error connecting: Could not connect: No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

Is this alarming?

Now that the NV-driver is gone I will try to start again. If that fails I will consider upgrading the kernel tomorrow. It is late here already.

Thank you very much!
