Hi,
I have updated my system today (there has been some time since the last update, since a friend struggled with nvidida drives and told me to not update for some time). After restarting my laptop, my internal monitor is not recognized at all!
$xrandr --listmonitors
Monitors: 1
0: +*DP-0 1920/521x1080/293+0+0 DP-0
Does anyone know this issue? If I unplug my external monitor and restart, the screen of my laptop just stays black. If I then connect my external monitor, everything works fine but the laptop screen stays black.
In terms of my system, following might be interesting:
$inxi --full --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host

Thank you for your time and help!
Hi @Dubbox ,
a Big question is how did you do the upgrade?
Also, please provide the output for:
mhwd --list
And
mhwd --listinstalled
Also go thorough these and provide info where necessary:
Hope you manage!
Look here:
Dubbox:
active: none
off: eDP-1
I would say there is xorg config which only target the nvidia gpu…
Did you install video-nvidia or video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime ?
Mirdarthos:
mhwd --list
And
mhwd --listinstalled

Hi, Thank you for your quick response!
I updated my system using
$ sudo pacman -Syu
the outputs you requested are as follows:

**Previous to the update, both monitors worked, I have not done anything else to the pacman update

Could you add the content of the config files?
Here 2 easy commands:bash beforehand)
export configs=("/etc/X11/xorg.conf" "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf" "/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf" "/etc/modules-load.d/*.conf")
for x in ${configs[@]}; do echo -e "\n---$x---\n$(cat $x)"; done

That is normally done at the optimus-manager… switch the gpu there.

I tried that also, (using the Icon and pressing “Switch to NVIDIA”
I get the following error-message
However, running the commands stated here does not allow me to switch. What am I doing wrong?
You re-enabled the service?
sudo systemctl enable --now optimus-manager
Maybe restart after that?
or just:
sudo systemctl restart display-manager

I just typed that command, still the same error.
Also the Icon of optimus-manager is the NVIDIA-Icon:
the startup-mode is also NVIDIA:

sudo systemctl restart display-manager
Did also not work, I also rebooted my system. (I am on dualboot, however I do not think this is causing the issue, since I have not done updates on the other system)
So the problem here is that you cannot switch to integrated gpu, because the optimus service is not running?
sudo systemctl status optimus-manager

Might it be the case that I have to get it from the AUR? (see Optimus manager doesn't work after upgrade - #28 by linub )
the output is cut off… pls update the output with that:
sudo systemctl status optimus-manager --no-pager

Yeah seems there is no community packages for optimus-manager anymore. So I guess you have to switch to the AUR.
So remove the optimus-manager, if installed from the offical repo and reinstall from the AUR:
pamac build optimus-manager optimus-manager-qt
Not sure, I don’t use it, but must be these AUR packages.
There is also the git version:
pamac build optimus-manager-git optimus-manager-qt-git

Oh finally, this was the solution!
So in summary, do not use pacman to install and update optimus-manager. If done so do the following:
$pacman -R optimus-manager optimus-manager-qt
to uninstall this version and after this install from AUR using for example:
pamac build optimus-manager optimus-manager-qt
Thank you very much for your quick and informative support!

But just keep in mind:
AUR is not offical and made by users. You are on your own here.
