[SOLVED]Optimus manager cant unload Nvidia drivers after fresh install

dGPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
iGPU: Intel HD Grapics 630
CPU: Intel i7-7700HQ (Kaby Lake)
Display Manager: SDDM

I did a fresh install on my system. Right after install, I was able to see my graphics card on

 xrandr --listproviders 

and was able to see my graphic card on Nvidia X Server Settings applet. However, after following the wiki guide to using Optimus-manager, my X server can no longer detect the Nvidia GPU. so both xrandr and Nvidia X server settings don't show Nvidia GPU but I can see it is being detected  when I run

 nvidia-smi -q 

Attachments:

 systemctl status optimus-manager.service

 lspci | grep -i nvidia 

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] (rev a1)

I am pretty new to this but I attached whatever I thought was relevant. Please let me know if you require any other files/outputs/details to troubleshoot this issue.

Re: [SOLVED]Optimus manager cant unload Nvidia drivers after fresh install

The issue is solved, I couldn't figure how to mark the thread as solved.

I looked at

journalctl -u optimus-manager.service -b0

From the output, I realised that acpi_call was not installed. Installing the package solved my issue.
