So as you can see, there is an issue with the nvidia-drivers. My question is, how can I finally get prime-run working?

Thank you a lot for your tme and effort

2

You mean this right?

I would say nvidia’s xorg driver fails here for some reason, therefor GLX also doesn’t work. I guess the xorg log will show more details.

3

Could you please tell me the path to the xorg log file? Also, as soon as have access to my laptop I will check on “failed: nvidia”

/var/log

Regarding the logs, just in case the old Xorg logs might become important

You asked if I would mean:
failed: nvidia

I did not understand your question, but I think what you might mean is:

➜  log nvidia-smi
No devices were found

Does the GPU work in general?
OBS, which is a software that can make use of the GPU was tested on Windows. It took around 50% of the GPU. Yes, the GPU works → it should be no hardware error

Have you tried to reinstall, reboot, other kernels
Yes, many times install, delete, nonfree 0300, free 0300, reboot: yes many times

mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
mhwd -r pci (name of installed drivers)
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
pacman  -Rscup nvidia-utils

Kernels:

Currently running: 4.19.277-1-MANJARO (linux419)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux419
   * linux510
   * linux515
   * linux60
   * linux61
   * linux62

linux60, linux515 used to work → now only linux419 comes through the login screen

Have you messed with the display-manager?
Yes, I installed all from: (not allowed to add links here thus → wiki. manjaro. org/index.php/Install_Display_Managers) to check, whether they might give any error

Have you played with optimus-manager?
Yes, I did - it did not work. There are some things to consider when using gnome or kde. I was not sure if I am using gdm or if Cinnamon, which I am using, has its own display manager. Optimius manager is now deinstalled

Have you tried envycontrol?
Yes, envycontrol: (cant add links here: github envycontrol) It is now removed again

first reboot and then post also output from:
mhwd -l
pacman -Qm
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
ls /etc/modprobe.d

Yes, I rebooted first, logged in using the login screen, opened a terminal and entered the commands. That is, I did not go into tty directly after booting to enter the commands.

you have these:

which could be pointing to a hardware issue, since it was working previously…

boot into manjaro live usb and check with:
nvidia-smi
if its detected there or not

14

I booted into manjaro using a usb stick and this is the outcome:

nvidia-smi 
No devices were found

I can try it again on windows, if the GPU works or not? You want me to check anything else on this live usb manjaro?

15

well it looks like it could be dead… of course, try it from windows too

17

I believed OBS would use my Nvidia GPU, but it is also likely that it has used INTEL HD graphics. While trying to install the Nvidia driver, in Windows I got the famous windows blue screen. So it might be true, that my Nvidia is dead. This happened using the official Nvidia driver as well with the driver installation option provided by windows itself. It happened each time. I made some more couple tests. It seems to be the case that my NVIDIA hardware is dead. Thank you a lot for the great support.

18

well since the nvidia is still being detected, you should disable it, so install envycontrol:
pamac build envycontrol
switch to intel:
sudo envycontrol -s integrated
reboot when prompted, and check with:
inxi -G
and the nvidia should no longer be detected

or if you have the option to disable it in bios, that would be better…

19

I will go with the first suggestion and then check If I can disable the graphics card through the bios. However, I have to wait till I am back home.

I followed the instructions and it seems that the intel driver are working properly:

➜  ~ inxi -G

    v: kernel

I did not find any possibility to switch off the NVIDIA graphics card from the boot menu. However, it is fine as it is - Thank you a for your time and effort spent in helping me out here.
