I tried that but optimus still tells me that the active card is integrated instead of nvidia.
so uninstall optimus manager + optimus manager plasma, remove the config from:
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
reboot; then install this:
pamac build envycontrol
switch to nvidia:
sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
it will prompt you for reboot so do it, and then check if you are using nvidia with:
nvidia-smi
all the settings worked without error, but after the reboot the login screen didnāt even appear, so I reinstalled optimus-manager.
so you cant switch via optimus, you also cant switch via envycontrol, so there must be something wrong with your nvidia, either with the hardware or with the driversā¦ i checked again the pacman -qs nvidia output above and find there something suspicious:
do you still have it installed?:
pacman -Qs opencl-nvidia-390xx
if yes remove again optimus and its config (dont reboot), remove the nvidia drivers:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
and check if the 390xx package was removed. if it was not, remove it:
sudo pacman -R opencl-nvidia-390xx
then install again the nvidia drivers:
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
and check if the proper version of opencl was installed:
pacman -Qs opencl-nvidia
if not, install the proper version:
sudo pacman -S opencl-nvidia
reboot
install optimus again, reboot and test
still not changing. Sorry, but Iām new to graphics cards, I was wondering if I had done something with the config before when I tried to fix it before I posted on this forum. Is there any option to restore?
I also tried to run startx, during which optimus-manager showed me that I was in nvidia mode, but after rebooting I had the same problem again.
we reinstalled optimus several times + removed its config, we also reinstalled the video drivers, so its not related to any config from optimus or video driversā¦
switch via optimus tray to nvidia, and post output from:
pacman -Qs nvidia
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"

Oh my god it is working now, thank you so much man!
Can I ask why did prime cause the problem?
i should pay more attention to the outputs, first i missed the opencl-nvidia-390xx, then i missed that you have 2 prime packages, this from manjaro and official repos:
and this from aur:
which was the one causing the problem, it was conflicting with optimus ā¦
