Hi everyone, I don’t know why and when, but at one time nvidia prime stopped to work. So when I run prime-run glxinfo I get
name of display: :0
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 0
Current serial number in output stream: 31
Maybe it was because of some upgrade, but some day it worked.
Some hardware and system info:

Also I have that ~ sudo journalctl -b0 | grep 'nvidia'

As I understand this BadAlloc becomes on anything nvidia or prime related

only the intel-graphics is active by now. is envycontrol installed, if not
pamac install envycontrol
run
sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
reboot and repost the output of
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE && glxinfo | grep server
also check
systemctl status optimus-manager
So good news, I installed envycontrol, and now:
~ prime-run glxinfo | grep server
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
~ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE && glxinfo | grep server
x11
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
And more importantly, nvidia-related apps now work well
But
~ systemctl status optimus-manager
Unit optimus-manager.service could not be found.
Seems like I need somehow to enable it to have abiliti use intel for just desktop purposes?

no, everything is perfect. you don’t want optimus-manager in your case. case closed
Ok, will use EnvyControl to switch graphics
Thank You!
