Kernel is too old for Iris

Support Graphics & Display
1

Hi newbie here,

i have a laptop with an intel and a nvidia gpu. I installed the “video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime” driver (on testing branch) and am now able to run programs on the nvidia gpu with “prime-run”

however booting and returning from suspend is really slow and i suspect that it has something to do with my driver setup.

here is the output of

> glxinfo | grep "OpenGl"

error: Kernel is too old for Iris. Consider upgrading to kernel v4.16.

libGL error: failed to create dri screen
libGL error: failed to load driver: iris

But i am using the kernel version 5.4.60

> uname -a
Linux calculator 5.4.60-2-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 22 14:35:41 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I also tried to use version 4.19 which fixes the iris error but freezes the screen every few seconds for ~ 1min.

Any ideas in which direction to proceed ?

thanks in advance

I’d say upgrade the kernel to 5.7

Hint: GUI App in the menu is Manjaro Settings Manager, there you will find the Kernel menu for (un)installing different kernel series. You can have several kernels installed.

i just upgraded the kernel to 5.7, but still get the error.
Should i uninstall version 5.4?

also here is the output of

if that helps

Did you reboot with the new kernel?
Try linux58 and linux59 as well.

I installed linux58 and linux59 though the manjaro settings manager and did a reboot afterwards.

Linux59 fixes my intel issue, … however now i am not able to use nvidia prime

> nvidia-smi

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

here is

thanks for your fast response!

i tried to reinstall the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime driver on linux59 and got an error
error: target not found: linux59-nvidia-450xx

Edit:
Seems like installing linux58 and reinstalling the driver fixed it for me.

huge thanks for the blazing fast responses @eugen-b and @cscs !
