[SOLVED]nvidia gforce 210 software render

barney · 2023-12-18 01:49:24

Two days ago I have noticed that I am using software render. I have 'flag' in the KDE taskbar, and when I hover over it I get the message "Software render in use".
Before that everything was working fine. Probably this have happened after a update.
Output of lsmod | grep nouveau:
http://0x0.st/HYfr.txt
Output od dmesg:
http://0x0.st/HYpF.txt
Xorg log file:
http://0x0.st/HYpC.txt
If there is a need for further information I will gladly provide it.

There's nothing wrong in those logs, you're running xf86-video-nouveau on the nouveau kernel module and are NOT using the swrast driver.
Did you maybe switch from X11 to wayland?

loginctl session-status
glxinfo -B

No, there was no change in the system configuration.

loginctl session-status

http://0x0.st/Hg-L.txt
glxinfo -B

Ok, glxinfo clearly indicates that the OpenGL installation is broken - most likely you've some stale nvidia libs around?

So the nvidia libraries are linked but the packages and /usr/lib look fine.

I was busy the last few days, that is why this replay is so late.

printenv | grep LD

gives nothing.

ls /etc/ld.so.conf* # edit

gives:

/etc/ld.so.conf

/etc/ld.so.conf.d:
00-nvidia.conf  fakeroot.conf

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-nvidia.conf is owned by nvidia-340xx-utils 340.108-1

barney · 2023-12-24 15:16:33

I have removed nvidia-340xx-utils package and now everything is working fine. Thanks @seth.

seth · 2023-12-24 15:16:56

So you're (intentionally?) using nouveau but still have nvidia-340xx-utils around - if you want to use nuveau, remove that package.

Edit: fuck
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

I want to use the old nvidia driver, but that driver is not working on my system, so I returned to the noveuau, but the package nvidia-340xx-utils have somehow remained on my system. That was the problem.

seth · 2023-12-24 15:23:11

that driver is not working on my system

The GPU is still supported, isn't?
Hwo/why does it not work?
(No, wayland isn't an option)

I am not shure, I don't know what is the code name for nvidia gforce 210 GPU. To check if it is supported the WIKI page requires the code name for the GPU.

Whe I have installed the nvidia-340xx package, the system have booted into the login prompt, so I have reinstalled the nouveau package.

seth wrote:

I was never using the wayland.

seth · 2023-12-24 15:37:49

You've an NVA8 chip, ie. Tesla
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html

So yes, the chip is supported by the 340xx drivers.

When I have installed the nvidia-340xx package, the system have booted into the login prompt

You mean the multi-user.target?
This is probably just some misconfiguration.

If you want, try to re-install the nvidia drivers (make sure the dkms module got built w/ "dkms status") and if you've ongoing issues, open a new thread (you may link it here) and post your system journal and xorg log there.

I will try and if I have issues I will open a new thread.

I have installed the nvidia-340xx-dkms package. I have noticed the message that the file /usr/share/nvidia-340xx/20-nvidia.conf should be copied to the /etx/X11/xorg.conf.d/. That was the problem in my previous install of the package nvidia-340xx-dkms, I have not copied the file.
On the wiki page for the nvidia driver there is notice that modeset=1 and fbdev=1 should be set for the nvidia_drm module. I don't have that module. I suppose that that remark is irrelevant for the 340xx driver?

seth · 2023-12-24 20:09:25

You might still want to add "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" to get rid of the simpledrm device, in case that causes you trouble.
"glxinfo -B" says you're using the nvidia driver?

I didn't have troubles, but I have added the parameter.
