No hybrid amdgpu nvidia drivers in mhwd after upgrade

mike386 · 2 January 2021 11:41

Hi everyone and happy NY!

I’ve just installed latest Manjaro updates and now there are no Nvidia drivers available for installation via mhwd anymore. Existing drivers were removed along with Linux 5.8, but even after I’ve installed nvidia-utils there is no option in Manjaro Settings Manager to automatically use hybrid config (amdgpu+nvidia) like I did before.

Here’s inxi -G:

Graphics:  Device-1: NVIDIA TU117M driver: N/A 
           Device-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Renoir driver: amdgpu v: kernel

And there is mhwd:

I see that linux-latest-nvidia is available for manual installation, but I’m not sure if it would be the right way to just install it manually while mhwd states that there is no suitable driver for my card.

Is it something besides nvidia-utils that I’m missing here?

I would greatly appreciate any help!

What is the output of mhwd and mhwd -li? We simplified Nvidia drivers and dropped a lot of old ones. See also 2020-12-30 Stable Announcement.

I’ve read the announcement and the latest threads on this forum about Nvidia issues, but unfortunately haven’t found the solution yet.

In the past we had several AMD-PRIME drivers:

Those we had dropped. Normally it should be possible to support your hardware also with the 455 Nvidia driver. However, your hardware ID is not listed:

(0300:10de:1f99) Display controller nVidia Corporation
(0300:1002:1636) Display controller ATI Technologies Inc

# NVIDIA cards
CLASSIDS="0300 0302"
VENDORIDS="10de"
DEVICEIDS=">/var/lib/mhwd/ids/pci/nvidia.ids"

# Amd cards
CLASSIDS="0300"
VENDORIDS="1002"
DEVICEIDS="*"

However it is listed in the nvidia.ids file. What is the output of pacman -Q | grep nvidia?

Also you can try to install hybrid drivers like this:

sudo mhwd -r pci 0300 video-linux
sudo mhwd -i pci 0300 video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime

mike386 · 2 January 2021 13:19

Here is pacman output grepped:

Summary

mhwd-nvidia 455.45.01-3
mhwd-nvidia-340xx 340.108-1
mhwd-nvidia-390xx 390.138-1
nvidia-prime 1.0-4
nvidia-utils 455.45.01-2

I removed video-linux config, but could not install hybrid config:

Error: config 'video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime' does not exist!

(I had to remove classid 0300 from command as my version of mhwd seem to use slightly different syntax)

P.S.: should I not reboot now until I successfully install some video config?

mike386 · 2 January 2021 13:51

Quick update: I’ve grepped pacman.log and I’ve found some upgrade errors that may be relevant to the issue:

> Using config 'video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime' for device: 0000:01:00.0 (0300:10de:1f99) Display controller nVidia Corporation TU117M

Sourcing /var/lib/mhwd/db/pci/graphic_drivers/hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime/MHWDCONFIG
warning: nvidia-prime-1.0-4 is up to date -- skipping
error: target not found: linux58-nvidia

As re-running this pacman line seemed reasonable, I did it manually without linux58-nvidia part and rebooted the box. Now I have nvidia driver up and running just like it was before the upgrade, with one exception: mhwd still shows only open source drivers.

philm · 2 January 2021 14:44

linux58 kernel was dropped. You may remove it. Normally mhwd should show you that config. Glad it worked out in the end.

mike386 · 2 January 2021 15:18

I’ve noticed that /var/lib/mhwd/db/pci/graphic_drivers/hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime/MHWDCONFIG was renamed to *.old (presumably due to the error I’ve posted about above). I’ve reinstalled mhwd-db:

sudo pamac reinstall mhwd-db

After that, mhwd finally showed me video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime config! After I’ve ran

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

I’ve finally got this message: Successfully installed video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime!
Thank you very much for pointing me the right direction
