Nvidia 470xx Internal Driver Error - Kernel 5.16

Support Graphics & Display
1

I’ve been trying to fix an external monitor issue I’ve been having for some months, and decided to take a stab at it again with Kernel 5.16. After a couple hours of debugging I’ve fixed a few mistakes I made in the past, but the one glaring issue now is the Nvidia drivers appear to be corrupted. I’ve removed all other kernels to ensure there was no conflict between them (5.10 and 5.14), mhwd installs 470xx but anytime I try to use optimus-manager to go into nvidia-only mode I get an all black screen. Attempting clean-up gives a stern warning that Nvidia is not behaving properly.

Any additional information I could share that might illuminate the root of this error?

sudo optimus-manager --cleanup

Investigating if there are any rogue headers left on the system:

pacman -Qs linux headers          
local/linux-api-headers 5.12.3-1
Kernel headers sanitized for use in userspace
local/linux516-headers 5.16.2-1
Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux516 kernel

I found no good way to fix this issue so I’ve installed a fresh install of Manjaro and re-installed the Nvidia drivers.

This has fixed this issue, Nvidia drivers are working properly, external monitor is working as intended. Also if anyone is having issues with optimus-manager consider updating the Python sessions.py script that chooses how to reboot the system.

KDE USERS ONLY
Sessions.py error looks like this:

`/bin/sh: line 1: i3-msg: command not found`
`/bin/sh: line 1: openbox: command not found`
`/bin/sh: line 1: awesome-client: command not found`
`/bin/sh: line 1: bspc: command not found`
`/bin/sh: line 1: qtile-cmd: command not found`

example location: */usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/optimus-manager/sessions.py*

        "systemctl restart sddm.service" # sddm logout
        #"i3-msg exit",  # i3

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button–NOT the Quote " button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    type or paste code here
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    type or paste code here
    </pre></code>

I’ve done it for you this time. :wink:

Thank you! I’ll be sure to use the appropriate markdown next time.
