Optimus UI - prime-select is missing

Support AUR
,
1

Hello everybody,

I successfully installed nvidia drivers on my Manjaro, but when I tried to open Green with Envy, it says:

NV-CONTROL X extension not found

It was not possible to find the NVIDIA NV-CONTROL X extension on the current Display device.

Please make sure that the NVIDIA proprietary display drivers are installed and they support your current GPU

Well, then I installed Optimus + optimus GUI via Update Manager.

However, when I try to open Optimus UI, it says that prime-select is missing.
How do I install that?

I am very new to Manjaro, so I would appreciate step-by-step help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi :wave:,

Well then, “step by step help” is something you might expect from Support services that you pay for. The Manjaro forum is mainly a community of volunteers dedicating some of their time to help fellow members.

Did I mention, these volunteers are not paid? They are not. Please keep this in mind before dictating how help should be provided.

Textual information should always provided as text rather than an image of text, which will allow it to be found in search results. Images do not allow this, and frequently create undesired server load.

Please post the exact error message (as text).

:point_right: Oh, look – a kind Moderator has done this for you.

Using *-fetch type applications may provide sufficient information for someone wishing to buy your computer, but for Support purposes it’s best to ask your system directly.

Please provide system information as described (below).

See the links provided (also below) to learn how to post code or command output as preformatted text in accordance with forum guidelines.

Learn the differences between posting as preformatted text or as a quote, and when each should be used; again, see the links below, particularly those marked with :eyes:.

Examples;

We all make typos sooner or later. Please make sure to correct them before you post; this demonstrates a certain respect for other members.

Regarding your issue;

I’m sure someone will offer to help when they are able.

In the meantime, have you searched the forum? There are many topics that might be helpful.

Regards.

Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:

Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

Output of this command (formatted according to forum requirements) may be useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form:

inxi -zv8

Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Hey,

I updated the info, as per your request.

In the meantime, have you searched the forum? There are many topics that might be helpful.

Of course, I tried to find a solution before I posted. Since I haven´t, I created this topic.

Please keep this in mind before dictating how help should be provided.

I am not dictating anything, I was simply stating the fact.

Nothing then?
Nobody knows how to solve this?

Hi,
I’m not using prime, but the inxi showed, that there is no driver for your nvidia loaded.
So check in System -> Manjaro Settings Manager -> Hardware Configuration, and install the properitary nvidia driver (video-nvidia) if not already done.

9

You did?
I did not see it.

… solve what?

Hi,

I tried to install before the proprietary driver (had to tty2 into Manjaro to do that), but once I done it, I had a black screen and base on the info I found on these forums, that means I had a wrong driver (although there is only one legacy driver for me to pick from).

So I had to reverse it back.
Now I tried also pressing “install the open source driver” - after it finishes it says “done” but after the PC restart, when I open System -> Manjaro Settings Manager -> Hardware Configuration , again, there is no change - it does not appear installed.

I would love to send you link to the screenshot, but it does not allow me.

11

You did?
I did not see it.

Yes, in the first post.

… solve what?

Answer to that is also in the first post.

12

good luck with these curt answers then - it’s only been going for nearly three weeks as of now

13

Thank you for updating your system information.

Perhaps nobody has step-by-step instructions.

As I do not personally use Nvidia, I can only suggest you look again;

You can post a screenshot elsewhere and link to it.

As you cannot (yet) create a live link, you can instead paste the full url in this format:

```https://forum.manjaro.org```

which will allow others to copy/paste the url if they wish.

I have changed the topic title.

The more concise title may help to attract some positive response from the Community.

Remember also that the forum is frequented mostly by volunteers who might only login whenever they personally have a problem which they cannot fix.

Regards.

As you state

You should NOT jump into AUR and NOT while using stable branch (default).

→ [Need-To-Know] About Manjaro and AUR

No driver for Nvidia is active - but the output suggests that your card is supported by the 470.xx driver series

The message you supplied provides a hint to what you need to do

Manjaro is largely a self-service Linux distribution. Response to any topic is provided by community members like yourself - so you cannot request hand holding and extensive guiding - but any community member may choose to and if that happens you should thank the member(s) involved :bowing_man:

→ Manjaro Hardware Detection - Manjaro

Manjaro Settings Manager GUI - provides a GUI to install drivers

→ Manjaro Settings Manager - Manjaro

The CLI utility mhwd can be used as well

Selecting the driver based on a database

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

Specify the driver to install

sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx

@Gizm0

Further to this;

does not appear on the;

This is a strong indication that your Nvidia graphics are not supported by the current Nvidia 570 drivers.

You will likely have better success with the Nvidia 470 drivers, as mentioned.

Update:

Listed as Quadro K1100M your graphics seem only compatible with the Nvidia 390 drivers:

Some possibly useful links from the Manjaro Wiki:

A quote from Nvidia for consideration;

And this is achieved by following the command-line directions given by @linux-aarhus (above).

The card is not mentioned in the 470 driver, but in the list for the 390.

Indeed, listed as Quadro K1100M in the Nvidia 390 for Linux compatibility list. Post updated.

18

@linux-aarhus + @soundofthunder + @AlexBoldt - Thanks for help.

So before I tried to install 390xx drivers, I updated the kernel (just to be sure).
However, if I try to use:

sudo mhwd -a pci non-free 0300

It ends up with:
Error: invalid use of option: -a/--auto (I tried to play around with it, thinking it might be just a typo, looked at the manual for this, command seems to correct, yet it does return the error)

Similarly:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-390xx
ends up with:
Error: config 'video-nvidia-390xx' conflicts with config(s): video-nvidia

Based on that I assume I should first uninstall the current drivers.

sudo mhwd -li

reveals I have these installed currently:
video-linux 2024.05.06
video-nvidia 2025.01.13

When I try

sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia

It will end with script failure:
:: removing linux612-nvidia breaks dependency 'NVIDIA-MODULE' required by optimus-manager-git
Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed!

Am I trying to uninstall it in wrong way? Should I uninstall the optimus manager before trying to uninstall the current drivers?

Yes. After you have added the new drivers, you can then rebuild optimus-manager-git to recognise them.

20

I realise the the command (written from memory) had a spelling error, the correct is

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

That aside - you will need to remove the custom package.

Then remove the video nvidia drivers

sudo mhwd -r video-nvidia

Then install the correct driver

sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-390xx

I am not sure you need the optimus package you built to begin with, as the package envycontrol is in the repo.

sudo pacman -Syu envycontrol

This highlights the importance of verifying any commands given in the forum before using them. Mistakes (typo’s) are easy to make, but it’s just as easy to check the Wiki page or the manual of whatever command you might use.

This is a good habit to adopt because - depending on the command being used - a simple mistake can potentially be devastating.

Most commands have a manual easily accessed with;

man <command-name-here>

The majority of these are also duplicated on the Arch site; though it’s sometimes easier to fire up your favourite browser and search for arch man <command>.

Regards.

So now I could install the drivers, but I ended up with black screen after loading the OS - this has happened to me before I started this thread as well.

I uninstalled the
optimus-manager-git then restarted the PC.

Then I uninstalled the current driver:

sudo mhwd -r video-nvidia

Installed the supported one:

sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-390xx

and restarted the PC.

I will try again to tty2 inside and install the bumblebee version, if possible.
How can I list latest available drivers for my graphic card?

23

Heureka!
I made a progress (successfully installed the correct drivers - bumblebee version - they now even show properly as installed in the System -> Manjaro Settings Manager -> Hardware Configuration), but that returned me full circle to my very first post:

When I try to open the GreenWithEnvy, it still says:

NV-CONTROL X extension not found

It was not possible to find the NVIDIA NV-CONTROL X extension on the current Display device.

Please make sure that the NVIDIA proprietary display drivers are installed and they support your current GPU

Reason Why I installed Optimus is because I found that as a solution to this problem somewhere on a forums here. So how can I properly install the NV-CONTROL X extension?

I will post how I installed the proper drivers - it might get useful to someone down the line, I had to put it together from various posts:

How to uninstall Nvidia drivers when you have a black screen after OS has been loaded:
1.) You need to TTY2 into the system while booting OS (just when the Manjaro logo will pop-up):
Ctrl+Alt+F2, - use the same command again if you end up on a black screen and nothing is happening
2.) use your credentials and log in
3.) once inside, see what you have installed:
sudo mhwd -li
4.) If you will try to uninstall it now, you will get error:
Error: config 'video-nvidia' is not installed!
To avoid that, try adding the ibt parameter:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and in this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside the quotes, after a space, add this parameter:
ibt=off -Dont remove anything from there!, just add it to existing parameters, save the file (Ctrl+O, then Ctrl+X to exit nano), update grub:
sudo update-grub
reboot
5.) Now you should be able to uninstall the driver:
sudo mhwd --remove pci [video driver name]
6.) install the proper nvidia drivers, then reboot:
sudo mhwd -i pci [video driver name]
in my case:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebee
7.) Reverse changes from step 4
