I am trying to open nvidia settings but it immediately closes when I try opening it, when I try launching it from the terminal with sudo nvidia-settings it says: ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system. Can someone please help me?
Picture of the nvidia related drivers that are installed(if it helps)
if you have used mhwd to install the driver - restart your system
I tried restarting it and I do not know if I used mhwd to install the driver.
Welcome to Manjaro!
Please read this:
and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU you have, …
Hi, I’m having the same issue since a few months. Previously nvidia-settings was working fine.
Searching a bit on the internet I found out that the issue is created by the NV-CONTROL extension not loading properly in Xorg.
This is part of my Xorg log ( /var/log/Xorg.0.log):
[ 6.576] (II) Initializing extension VNC
[ 6.576] (II) Initializing extension NV-GLX
[ 6.576] (II) Initializing extension NV-CONTROL
[ 6.576] (EE) Not enabling extension NV-CONTROL: maximum number of events or errors `exceeded.`
On internet somebody was suggesting to disable some useless Xorg extension like XFree86-DGA but I’m they’re starting even though I put this both in Xorg.conf and in Xorg.conf.d:
Section "Extensions"
Option "XFree86-DGA" "Disable"
Option "XFree86-VidModeExtension" "Disable"
EndSection
Here’s also the output of that inxi command on my pc:

Thank you
Manjaro Nvidia driver configuration is in /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf it is not in xorg.conf.
Oh, thanks, didn’t know that. So what are you suggesting? To put that code in /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf?
