nvidia-settings not working

Hi, I have a problem with my graphics card. I cannot use nvidia-settings, connect external monitor to my laptop etc.

When I run `nvidia-settings` I got error like 'ERROR: Unable to find display on any available system'.

When I run `nvidia-smi` I got:

I tried to install nvidia package, but it does not helped. I tried install *.run downloaded from nvidia site, which does not helped too.

When I run gnome on wayland, then system is working (only external monitor isn't working), but when I am trying to run gnome on xorg, everything crashes and I have to reboot computer.

My graphic card is Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 Ti

Please help me!!

Re: nvidia-settings not working

This is most likely a dual-GPU system, check the output of lspci and read up https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus
Chose a use-case, follow the wiki and ask back if you hit problems.

I don't know that "tried" means here, but that's a bad idea.
Ensure you've the nvidia packages installed and can re-install/update them w/o conflicts.

Please help me!!

Please don't do that.
The plea is implied and there's no need for additional drama.
