Nvidia drivers does not load & want to make hybrid graphics

[juba0x00]

I was using manjaro KDE, today I’ve installed Manjaro gnome
the GPU was working properly after installation, I wanted to install envycontrol to make it hybrid and connect my external monitor.
after installing it and playing with the drivers, I missed it up.

• now the laptop boots without loading the nvidia drivers, how to load it ?
• and how to setup hybrid graphics

We dont know what this means. Undo what you did.

‘hybrid’ (using prime) is how it is already.
tools like envycontrol are only (sorta) needed if you want to choose to boot into a system using solely one gpu or the other.

Using the regular prime profile you simply call the nvidia using prime-run.
ex:

glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'
prime-run glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'

most of the changed I’ve reverted it back like removing mhwd config from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
but I don’t know what is the correct to do.

@cscs

glxinfo | grep ‘renderer string’

glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'                                                                        ─╯

prime-run glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'                                                              ─╯

I dont know what you did.

If you installed envycontrol and selected something … undo that, remove envycontrol, etc.

Similarly if you created/edited configs in /etc/X11/* then you would need to undo that as well.

All that would normally be required is to select/install the relevant *prime* profile in mhwd.

(and then use prime-run)

• the problem is: the nvidia driver is not loaded like mentioned in

I’ve installed older kernel (6.1), the nvidia driver is loaded

I dont see how these can all be true at the same time.

Furthermore … do you mean that prime works now ?
