Hello,
I’m new on Manjaro, i think i’ve a problem with my nvidia configuration. When i launch nvidia-settings the only part of configuration is about my graphics card, nothing about X11 server.
Console prompt: (nvidia-settings:4554): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 21:50:38.389: g_object_unref: assertion ‘G_IS_OBJECT (object)’ failed
Any idea to correct this problem ? I hope you can help me out.
thank you.
Welcome to the forum! 
That only happens when the NVIDIA drivers are not installed properly.
Please post your system info as outlined here:
Please also see:

Not launching nvidia-settings with the nvidia either I’d guess.
prime-run nvidia-settings
But last I heard nvidia-settings is kinda dumb and requires sudo ?
(sudo prime-run nvidia-settings)
And it also used to need an extra flag when run with optimus/bumblebee ?
(sudo prime-run nvidia-settings -c :8 )
I’ve tried the 3 commands, with the same result as before…
glxinfo | grep OpenGL1

Seems my card is not detected.
Of course it wouldnt like that …
glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'
prime-run glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'
Oh … and looking back … I assumed you shared installed mhwd profiles, but you didnt actually say.
What command presented you with this (unformatted) output?:
PS.
Please make use of either the </> code button, or even better, wrap things in tics, like so:
```

That’s only tell taht i’ve a proprietary drivers for my nvidia card.

When i try to load prog with DRI_PRIME=1 i’ve the kind of message:
libGL error: glx: failed to create dri3 screen
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
Incorrect
Correct.
This shows prime-run working fine.
But you said prime-run nvidia-settings still produces the same errors?
I suppose we should make sure you are up to date:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu
Done, but nothing change… Same problem when i launch nvidia-settings …
When i run glxgears and prime-run glxgears, the result are the same, normal ?
I think i’ve a problem because result with glxgears are the same with/witouhe prime-run and when i use blender sometime it crash and on my window session blender is faster than on manjaro.
Someone have any idea, or finally i’ve no problem and manjaro is just slower and buggy ?
Maybe give the terminal output of the nvidia-settings command you start with prime-run. So far it seems to work from the command output you provided, when you use prime-run it uses Nvidia.
I’m not sure you get the full Nvidia options with “hybrid GPU” as the main card is not Nvidia.
This is “normal” GTK error/warning when you start a GTK application from terminal, most of them will produce such warning.
Hello Omano,
Thanks for your response, when i run nvidia-settings with prime-run the termina prompt:
Console prompt: (nvidia-settings:4554): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 21:50:38.389: g_object_unref: assertion ‘G_IS_OBJECT (object)’ failed
It’s normal for glxGears that i got the same measure wit/without prime-run ?
GLXGears could be run on a toaster so unless your main GPU is a toaster, you should see same result.
Try with a 3D game.
You could try with that (or others they provide):
Download it, extract it to a folder in your Home, and run it from terminal, once without and once with the prime-run command. You will probably need to make it executable before trying to running it.
chmod +x Unigine_Heaven-4.0.run then run it once ./Unigine_Heaven-4.0.run and then run it with Prime Run prime-run Unigine_Heaven-4.0.run.
See for yourself the difference.
Blender maybe requires more recent video card or some configuration. Document yourself about it first GPU Rendering — Blender Manual
I don’t see the 1050M in the compatible GPU list: CUDA GPUs - Compute Capability | NVIDIA Developer. I see other “M” cards supported though.
yeah … it isnt a very good test at all.
If you were going to use it … you would probably want to remove the vblank options … as by default it would be locked to screen refresh rate (or 60 fps). But it still shouldnt be considered a benchmark tool.
vblank_mode=0 glxgears
Thanks Omano and CSCS,
Ok, so all finally works.
It’s really confusing, in my main menu I can set the power mode but that doesn’t mean that I’m using my nvidia card or the integrated card finally.
For blender I will still look a little, on windows it is almost twice faster.
Thanks you
