[Solved] Nvidia card detected but the driver doesn't work on it

I just fixed the ibt=off issue for nvidia drivers and my laptop now boots. Nice.
However, drivers are not correctly installed ?

Inputting nvidia-smi in terminal, I get:
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

I installed drivers with the following command from the Lutris docs github:
sudo pacman -S --needed nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader

I also installed cuda-tools so gpufetch can work and this is the issue I get with gpufetch:
[ERROR]: cudaErrorNoDevice: no CUDA-capable device is detected
[ERROR]: Unknown Intel device id: 0x46A6
Please, create a new issue with this error message on https://github.com/Dr-Noob/gpufetch/issues
[ERROR]: No GPU was detected! Available GPUs are:
- GPU 0:
  * Vendor: Intel
  * PCI id: 8086:46a6
- GPU 1:
  * Vendor: NVIDIA
  * PCI id: 10de:2520
Please, make sure that the appropiate backend is enabled:
- CUDA backend:  ON
- Intel backend: ON
Visit https://github.com/Dr-Noob/gpufetch#2-backends for more information

And finally, running lspci | grep VGA gives me this:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)

I also tried the troubleshooting step #6 in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Troubleshooting (I do get that message) without any result.

Oddly enough, when I start a game, the light on my power button switches to orange, which means the dGPU is active but obviously with 30 FPS in Stormworks medium settings and my laptop not sounding like a jet engine confirms it isn't running at all.

What do I do ?

Re: [Solved] Nvidia card detected but the driver doesn't work on it

If I were you, I would start here...

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

I did. The problem is I have a really hard time understanding 100% of the wiki.
I have a hard time reading any documentation in general in my life so it's best that someone explain it most of the time for me.

Also I come from a very simple distro so I didn't expect the wiki to be easy to read for someone with barely any linux experience (arround 4 months of almost daily use)

Re: [Solved] Nvidia card detected but the driver doesn't work on it

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device 1334
        Kernel driver in use: nouveau

The kernel module is built for the current kernel, but you're still running on nouveau.
I guess it's in the initramfs and that wasn't updated to include the nvidia module and the blacklisting modprobe config.
=> rebuild the initramfs (mkinitcpio)

Edit:

That's no good precondition for using archlinux.
You're probably much better off w/ a different distro.

Just did mkinitcpio -P, do I need to do anything else ?

Well I wouldn't be on arch if it wasn't for some of my programs not working on any other distro. So far only Arch (not even arch-based distros) works with them. So I kinda have to learn it.

Re: [Solved] Nvidia card detected but the driver doesn't work on it

Ensure to have done so while the boot partition was mounted.
You can

cat /prom/cmdline

to see whether you're booting from a dedicated partition ("/boot/" does then NOT show up)+
Also

lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep -E '(nvidia|nouveau)'

to see what's currently in the initramfs

So I kinda have to learn it.

Indeed. So simply lose the precondition

Re: [Solved] Nvidia card detected but the driver doesn't work on it

Sounds to me like you didn't remove the kms hook like the nvidia wiki page tells you to. Since you're using nouveau, that's what gets included in the initramfs, so you're stuck in a loop.

I was booted in the system while I did that so it was mounted

You can

cat /prom/cmdline

to see whether you're booting from a dedicated partition ("/boot/" does then NOT show up)+

This gives me

cat: /prom/cmdline: No such file or directory

Also

lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep -E '(nvidia|nouveau)'

to see what's currently in the initramfs

I noticed there is no GA card listed in this, prehaps I did something wrong ?

Re: [Solved] Nvidia card detected but the driver doesn't work on it

Update: GPUFetch now actually recognizes the GPU, however, no 3D acceleration is made on it.
GLXGears works on llvmpipe and Vulkan is rendered on intel mesa.

Edit: Added Optimus-Manager-Qt and set to nvidia. Now glxgears runs on nvidia. Can confirm with fans ramping up on my laptop and with glxgears -info showing renderer as 3060 Mobile.

Thanks guys

Re: [Solved] Nvidia card detected but the driver doesn't work on it

Ftr:

cat: /prom/cmdline: No such file or directory

Typo, used the wrong left hand: "proc"
