New Monitor keeps flickering (just under Manjaro)

[Kobold]

@Fred_VIE

I’ll recheck the guide and get back to you later.

Yeah just try to copy that file with terminal command into that folder where he suggested and name it the right way…

@Fred_VIE

What big issue can one have after just installing the OS and a few programs?

Yep, I created a new one on the desktop and renamed it. Maybe the issue was that the created one used to be a txt file (that came automatically)?

So does the scripts works now when you double click it?

If not maybe look in file association:

[MrLavender]

Need to make it executable - chmod +x nvidia.sh or right-click → Properties → Permissions → Is Executable.

Well Kate is in the file associations but if I remove them all it just asks for one on double click.

@MrLavender

Need to make it executable - chmod +x nvidia.sh or right-click → Properties → Permissions → Is Executable.

I set it via Properties.
When I double click following error shows in dolphin:
´execvp: Exec format error`

Just to make sure I created a new file, copied the

#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings -l

inside but the same error shows on double click.

[Kobold]

You dont have to count on this bash script (but it should work per default), anyways you can also load nvidia-settings -l with another autostart solution.

Is this command restore that settings when executed in Terminal?

Does it load your settings that you need?

I mean, i mainly need this command for my colour settings… so i dont know if you have to use it or not.

Edit: Would be helpfull to report back, if this youtube guide could solve your problem or not.

@Kobold

oad nvidia-settings -l with another autostart solution

Using it in the console wont restore the settings I changed. Probably because I can not save them in the suggested path.

I dont know howto autostart a command without a file. Most apps I am using have preferences where I can tick/untick the autostart option.

With the guide I could save the settings in my documents folder but they never restore.

@Fred_VIE

With the guide I could save the settings in my documents folder but they never restore.

He also gave you the info how to name the file and where to sudo copy command to the right folder… did you follow it?

Btw. that you cant execute the bash script is another problem, you may need to open another topic. I dont think i can assist you there.

Here is a little info, how i did add nvidia to autostart in the past, the screenshots should explain it:

Bash Script won't load on Start

I have a little bash script in Auto Start, that should load my Colour-Profile for my nvidia card: #!/bin/bash sleep 5 /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -l Its in this directory: /home/koboldx/.config/autostart-scripts/nvidia.sh I also select under Properties>Permission: Executable [Autostart Script] With a manually double click on my .sh file, my script just works but its somehow ignored when i put it in Autostart.

[Fred_VIE]

I copied it now, restarted and it loaded the settings! Many thanks! I had a typo in the name when I did it the first time, which caused the fail.

After a restart the sh-file does suddenly not cause an error anymore, instead nothing happens, but now it loads the settings while loading Manj. anyways.

[Kobold]

So you also using now max performance to temporary cure your flickering?

I also send some bug reports to nvidia and a developer reported back that they can
debug the problem, but no update since 2 weeks now.

Flickering at the top of the screen

Someone else in this Topic mentioned that also switching from auto to adaptive helps him to.

But for me i get better result with max performance… even my 2080Ti went from 10watt to 50watt, while system is in idle

I just hope we see a true fix soon… after 6 month, atleast there is light now at the end of the tunnel.

@Kobold

So you also using now max performance to temporary cure your flickering?

I used Kubuntu because of the flickering, but I am going to try max performance next time I need Manj. Atm I am still running both for personal reasons, but also in case I can not fix a problem in one of them (to avoid having to start Win).

I could also use the onboard GPU considering I am not playing lately anyways thus the 2080 is not really needed at this point (and way too slow).

@Kobold

Unfortunately the flickering still happens in adaptive mode for me. It seems to be flickering a bit less frequently but maybe I am imagining it. I did not try performance mode because I dont want to waste unnecessary energy for mere desktop work.

Weird is though. When I restarted Linux and started the nv-settings from the task bar it said mode auto (currently adaptive).
When I started the nv-settings panel via the console with sudo it said adaptive.

[Kobold]

I installed today nvidia driver 535.129.03 and the flickering is finally gone.

[Fred_VIE]

No driver in the auto update.
I guess I have to find the panel again where I can choose from different drivers.

[Kobold]

I installed it from pacman UI, its in stable branch.

[Fred_VIE]

Whats a packman ui?

I just manually checked the updates and there it was.

[Kobold]

@Fred_VIE

Whats a packman ui?

The package manager for manjaro “pacman” (UI = User Interface).

[Yochanan]

@Fred_VIE

Whats a packman ui?

What’s a packman?

@Kobold

The package manager for manjaro…

…is Pamac.

The GUI appears in one’s menu as Add/Remove Software.

Pacman is CLI only.

[Fred_VIE]

@Kobold

package manager

silly me, I was always associating packman with the console command rather than the package manager

The UI is the important part for me in Linux, without that I am lost because I couldn’t remember all the commands even if I wanted to.

[Yochanan]

@Fred_VIE

packman

There you go again…

@Yochanan

[Kobold]

I always do this failure, pacman vs pamac, i will never get this right

Same here, this is why i have all the neccessary Terminal Commands in my .txt files and can easy copy+paste them in Terminal…

If you want i can copy+paste them here for you.
