Nvidia not working with linux-lts

legine · 2021-03-04 05:39:44

Hello all,

I do not know what I miss.
I have an Intel - Nvidia Laptop. And so far I used the linux kernel package with nvidia prime-run.

Because of Issues with Displaylink, which made my Monitors accessible (Great thing is the are plugged through the Nvidia card.)
I had to switch to the linux-lts kernel.
I installed the nvidia-lts drivers, too and uninstalled everything from the linux kernel.
Now the Nvidia car seems not to load at all.

Following packages are installed:

nvidia-lts 1:460.56-2
nvidia-prime 1.0-4
nvidia-settings 460.56-1
nvidia-utils 460.56-1
opencl-nvidia 460.56-1

vulkan-intel 20.3.4-3
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+916+g31486f40-1

I tried to set (no effect):
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    MatchDriver "i915"
    Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

And here is my lspci:

$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)
	Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 9501
	Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP104M [GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

Any Ideas what I need to do? What am I missing?

I used the linux kernel package with nvidia prime-run.

Section "OutputClass"
…
Driver "nvidia"
…
Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
…
EndSection

This doesn't add up.
Please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus and explain how you intend to use the nvidia GPU (ie. the scenario - not what you believe to be the solution)
Then post your xorg log and the actual output you're facing on

prime-run glxinfo

My goal is that the nvidia is accessible and works in the prime setup.

The Xorg config is copy pasted from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus section "Use NVIDIA graphics only".
I am in no position to judge this. It does not work with or without it (means no config)

prime-run glxgears

The xorg log does not contain anything from Nvidia.

"Use NVIDIA graphics only" contradicts the explicit invocation, so don't use that config for your use-case.
Can you access the GPU w/ "nvidia-smi"?

The issue is not w/ X11 - there's either a problem w/ the kernel module (installation), the chip is powered down or simply late.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … de_setting and add the kernel parameter.

Then please post your system journal journal (sudo journalctl -b) and see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … _KMS_start
You can easily guess whether it's the last cause by restarting the X11 server without rebooting the system.

legine · 2021-03-06 10:16:35

Seth: Thanks a lot for the pointers. I really had a hard time to understand the wiki here.

I removed the Xorg Configs again. They did not lead anywhere, you are right.

The root cause to my issues is that the nvidia_drm drive is not loading at all at default.
If I enter

sudo modprobe nvidia-drm modeset=1

(see: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/p … tion/44423 )
And restart the X server (logout / login does the trick) my screens can be addressed with

xrandr

and

prime-run glxgears

works again.

Now I need to figure out the early loading. I have added the Kernel parameter, this does not lead that the kernel is loading the nvidia_drm drive, despite I have added the Kernel parameter to my kernel options and I have updated /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
I think I build even the initramfs again, but I am not sure now.
I will try to build it again, and then test the boot again. I will figure out what went wrong.

I still wonder why the setup worked before without any configuration on my side.

Well whatever. The Thread can be changed to solved. I did not see a way to rename the title. But I will look at it again after I posted. Really thanks for the pointers.
