After running optimus-manager --switch nvidia and it logging me out as supposed, after the new log in, if I check the status optimus-manager --status I get:
ERROR: the latest GPU setup attempt failed at Xorg pre-start hook.
Log at /var/log/optimus-manager/switch/switch-20220502T212939.log
Cannot execute command because of previous errors.
I also tried editing the optimus conf file /etc/optimus-manager/optimus-manager.conf to make nvidia de default boot, as showed on their instructions github - optimus-manager under: “Configuration # Main configuration file”, but I get the same error when I check the status after boot.
This is the content of the error log:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I tried with both kernel 5.15.32 LTS and 5.16.18, with same results.
In their general notes github - optimus-manager over “IMPORTANT : Manjaro KDE users” (I am running KDE) they state that one should edit the /etc/sddm.conf and comment two lines: DisplayCommand and DisplayStopCommand, which I did back in the day.
I checked that file, in case it was modified in recent KDE updates, and now I don’t see any line that starts with those parameters. If the idea was to comment them out, it shouldn’t be a problem if they are not present anymore, but I notice the difference.
Any ideas where I should start?

sorry to bother with that “stupidity”. I slept so many hours today that I completely forgot about this morning
