I found our smoking gun…
going to remove these blacklists and reboot.
[jpycroft@ManjaroRGB ~]$ cat /usr/lib/modprobe.d/* | grep blacklist
blacklist nvidia
blacklist nvidia-drm
blacklist nvidia-modeset
blacklist nvidia-uvm
blacklist nouveau
blacklist nouveau
What? I see something not right here… what is this file content? Why do you have Bumblebee installed?
as expected…
I only knew about the blacklist it /etc/modprobe.d
had no idea it also existed in /usr/lib
after reboot it’s all working.
thanks @bogdancovaciu & @omano for assistance
What about Bumblebee? Where were the blacklists?
the /etc/ folder is user interactible (let say that); the /usr/ you shouldn’t manually touch it, hence my question you skipped.
I had bublebee & primus installed as i was using my APU for linux and was going to do virtio passthrough later on.
but decided to swap to my nvidia GPU for linux and not run windows trash.
the blacklist was in /etc/modprobe.d/bublebee.conf
I’ve now uninstalled bumblebee/primus and deleted the bumblebee.conf file
Alright, now that makes sense, here is your solution
