is there a menu at the left-bootom corner of the login-screen wher you can choose between X11 and wayland ?
Yes there is this menu, but each time i try to switch, i go back to the login-screen
okay, then we’ll use the hard way. first login as usual, open a terminal and post the output of
systemctl status optimus-manager
Thank you for your help !

nice … optimus-manager is already active. you are able to edit a file with sudo-rights ? just for my info…
Yes i can
okay, please give me 5 minutes, i’m back
open /etc/default/grub and add the following
optimus-manager.startup=nvidia
to the existing line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="…
pay attention that you just add it into the existing commands
save it and run the following commands
sudo update-grub
sudo mkinitcpio -P
reboot
you’ll force to start with nvida-gpu active with this procedure
choose x11 at login
edit: keep in mind that to uncomment Waylandenable=false in the gdm.conf file as already explained
That should not be needed because GDM should disable the wayland session if it detects a laptop with hybrid configuration with an nvidia gpu. This is specified in /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules. The fact that apparently this does not happen is more concerning.
@LeoVitorino can you post the output of ls /run/udev/gdm-* after logging into a graphical session?
I’m really sorry, it’s not working… I’m having the same problem as before, my screen is still blocking on the “DELL” logo. But I haven’t tried to connect my external screen. I will test it.
@pobrn this is the output :
/run/udev/gdm-machine-has-hardware-gpu /run/udev/gdm-machine-has-vendor-nvidia-driver /run/udev/gdm-machine-is-laptop
There should be a file named gdm-machine-has-hybrid-graphics as well. Please post the output of
lsmod | grep nvidia
ls -d1 /sys/class/drm/*
ls /etc/X11/*
after logging in.
Hi @pobrn ,
Here’s the feedback I get :
Command 1 :
lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 60907520 24
Command 2 :
/sys/class/drm/card0
/sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1
/sys/class/drm/card0-DP-2
/sys/class/drm/card0-eDP-1
/sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1
/sys/class/drm/renderD128
/sys/class/drm/version
saisissez ou collez du code ici
Command 3 :
ls /etc/X11/*
/etc/X11/mhwd.d:
nvidia.conf nvidia.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original
/etc/X11/xinit:
xinitrc xinitrc.d xserverrc
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d:
00-keyboard.conf 10-optimus-manager.conf
you did that in the exact manner ? i’m not confident.
also: is the external device connected via hdmi ? if so check the revision number (1.4 or 2.x) and make sure that they match.
Oh I’m sorry, Waylandenable=false was comment. I’ll try it again… Sorry for that
please post the output of you grub-file first
cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
and you’ve run
sudo update-grub
sudo mkinitcpio -P
???
and what about the connection ? hdmi ? 1.4 or 2.0 ?
This is the output :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3 ibt=off optimus-manager.startup=nvidia"
Last time I used these two commands as well:
sudo update-grub
sudo mkinitcpio -P
It is a hdmi 2.1 connexion.
Thank you !
is it possible that you can try using a dp instead a hdmi to connect the external display ?
I don’t have a display port on my laptop, but for my Windows session I use a “dock” with a Thunderbolt 4 connection and it works fine.
I’ve tried this connection but it doesn’t work either…
