PRIME is not working

xrandr --listproviders

Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x46 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0xd4 cap: 0x7, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:nouveau

here it looks like everything is in order. my system recognizes my two different cards.

prime-run glxinfo

name of display: :0
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  153 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  39
  Current serial number in output stream:  40

and here is the error output when i try to run my dedicated graphics card.

I did everything in the wiki said in order:
- I installed nouveau drivers
- I set the offloading and created `xorg.conf` file in `/etc/X11`.

I did them correctly but still it's not working.

and this is the error code i get when i try to prime-run minecraft-launcher

Re: PRIME is not working

you don't want nouveau but the nvidia driver and nvidia-utils if you intend to use nvidia-prime.

and please use [ code ] not [ quote ] tags for output.

Re: PRIME is not working

when I tried to install the appropriate version of nvidia driver on my lts kernel it gave me this error

==> Making package: nvidia-390xx 390.138-8 (Sun 27 Dec 2020 11:55:49 PM +03)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: nvidia-390xx-utils=390.138
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> nvidia-390xx-utils=390.138
  -> linux-headers
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

I think it doesn't support lts-kernel and I couldn't find this driver's lts kernel version.
maybe I should install linux-headers

Re: PRIME is not working

You esp. need to install nvidia-390xx-utils before nvidia-390xx and it's advisable to use nvidia-390xx-dkms so you won't have to re-install the nvidia-390xx package w/ every kernel update.

Re: PRIME is not working

...and 390xx won't work with prime-run, you'll need to pick other methods from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus
