Prime-Run Not Found

Support Graphics & Display
1

Hi All,

For the life of me I can’t figure out why prime-run isn’t being found on my device. I have installed:
nvidia-utils
linux69-nvidia
mhwd-nvidia-470xx

mhwd output:

Think you need nvidia-prime installed?

This does not tell us anything about what is installed or active.
What is

mhwd -li

?

If these are the only ‘nvidia’ related packages installed then you are missing a lot.
Including the definitions for mhwd profiles besides only video-nvidia-470xx.

This will install those … though who knows how you got here and what else may be wrong.

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu mhwd mhwd-db mhwd-amdgpu mhwd-ati mhwd-nvidia mhwd-nvidia-390xx mhwd-nvidia-470xx

This will (force, re?) install the correct driver profile now that you have the definitions.

sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime

Warning: No installed USB configs!

Running those other commands now. Will report back as soon as it’s done.

Ran the first command, worked fine, second command spits out script failed. Prime-Run still not working.

Because you have EOL (end-of-life), or just dead, kernels.
You should remove those.
(make sure to be booted into another working kernel first)
Actually, while we are here … you should do the same with 6.9 because it is EOL too. Its currently still supported in the Stable Branch, but wont be come next update.
Install an LTS like 6.6, and maybe a newer one like 6.10, boot into one and then remove everything having to do with all other kernels.

ex:

sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qsq linux67) $(pacman -Qsq linux68) $(pacman -Qsq linux69)

Then you may resume attempting to install your drivers.

Bingo. Thanks! I removed 66, 67, 68,69, installed 610, re-ran your commands, things seem to be working now. Thanks!

Just so you can laugh a bit - I’ve been playing Resident Evil 2 in Steam…apparently completely on my intel card . . . you’ve changed my gaming experience. THANKS AGAIN.
