It appears you have other nvidia-related packages installed.

sudo pacman -Rns cuda psensor

Please remove that as well.

sudo pacman -Rns amdgpu-experimental

(note: the only thing this package does is flip some switches to enable amdgpu on early GCN cards [southern islands and sea islands])

Exodus · 26 December 2023 06:53

About to reboot. I’ll switch to the Amd card and see if everything works.

cscs · 26 December 2023 06:54

We may want to finalize some things afterwards.

If for whatever reason the gfx is not functional please see

To drop to TTY or boot to runlevel 3 where we can still interact with the console.

Exodus · 26 December 2023 07:41

I’m back. AMD gpu is in an all is good. What is the next step?

cscs · 26 December 2023 07:42

Lets just check inxi again

inxi -Fazy

(see the kernel, driver, etc)

andreas85 · 26 December 2023 08:07

Do you see grub ?
Does a live manjaro work ?
Tip: Try to look into your UEFI.
Sometimes there is a switch to select primary graphics-card.

Latest LTS Kernel

Exodus:

Graphics:
  Device-1: AMD Navi 22 [Radeon RX 6700/6700 XT/6750 XT / 6800M/6850M XT]
    vendor: XFX driver: amdgpu v: kernel arch: RDNA-2 code: Navi-2x

AMDGPU looks enabled and in use.

The root partition is still pretty full.

If my search is correct you have some BIOS updates available.
Important looking ones too.
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550-GAMING-X-rev-10/support#support-dl-bios

Exodus · 26 December 2023 09:45

Alright. I also have to download AMD drivers, correct?

cscs · 26 December 2023 09:48

No, amdgpu is an in-kernel driver.
Only the assorted graphics software is required, like mesa and xf86-video-amdgpu which you have already.
As shown by your inxi output the driver is already being used.

We can reinstall video-linux again for good measure if you like.

sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-linux

What you do need to do is free up space.
If you cannot free very much by regular means (emptying trash, clearing browser profile, etc), then you might make use of qdirstat to visualize where space is being used.

That and do your BIOS updates.

Exodus · 26 December 2023 09:51

Thank you so much for everything. I will focus on deleting stuff and update Bios.
Quick question, how would I know which Bios to download, there is a few to choose from.

cscs · 26 December 2023 09:52

As long as the model matches yours and there are no specific caveats/warnings to do otherwise then the latest should be the one.

Cheers.
Happy linuxing.

soundofthunder · 26 December 2023 10:07

The OP has another post on the same overall topic.

Perhaps that can be deleted or merged with this one as appropriate.

Exodus · 26 December 2023 10:13

I had it flagged to have be deleted. My deepest apologies.

soundofthunder · 26 December 2023 10:18

I have no doubt you’re forgiven.

Having topics split over two (or more) threads just makes it harder for anyone else with a similar issue to follow it and hopefully find a solution. Cheers.

Mirdarthos · 26 December 2023 10:21

You mean a single topic, right? Because each topic gets it’s own thread. Like this one, which started out differently but evolved…

soundofthunder · 26 December 2023 10:26

Yes.

Pedantic Persbees.
