I’ve just installed optimus-manager on my Manjaro XFCE machine to switch between Intel & NVIDIA graphics, because I couldn’t really play Steam games with Intel alone.
But when I try to launch Steam after switching to NVIDIA, nothing happens. If I try to launch it via terminal, I get this error:
Running Steam on manjarolinux 21.0.1 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Pins up-to-date!
Steam client's requirements are satisfied
WARNING: Using default/fallback debugger launch /home/[my username]/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam
I’ve already installed lib32-nvidia-utils, but the problem persists.
It works perfectly as intended if I switch back to Integrated (i.e. Intel-only) mode, but that defeats the purpose of installing optimus-manager, of course.
Here’s more in-depth info about my machine, if it helps:
Pretty sure you can set launch options for the game you want to use NVIDIA with and type prime-run %command%, then the game will launch with NVIDIA regardless of if you’re currently using Intel graphics.
Are you sure you have the correct nvidia drivers installed? you should have the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime driver,thats come with the prime-run command to let you use the nvidia card when you want it.
