[solved] HP Zbook G8 - RTX A2000 graphics card

I mistakenly thought this was wayland specific (see below for another post). I trimmed down this initial post for better reading.

On this fresh laptop I can't seem to activate the dedicated graphics card. I figured running `glxinfo` through `prime-run` would be the way to test out whether all is well.

  prime-run glxinfo
name of display: :0
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  50
  Current serial number in output stream:  51

`nvidia` cannot be loaded, apparently:

  _ modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
  lsmod | grep nvidia
[1]    7511 done       lsmod |

To get `sway` running I had to add some kernel parameters (nvidia-drm.modeset=1 and ibt=off), otherwise the system would freeze upon calling `sway --unsupported-gpu`.

Below some information:

Could it be a power state issue, where the card is stuck in D3cold? Windows handles the card properly.

Not sure how to proceed from here. There was a related topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=275393. I seem to be using the right driver (https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/189746/en-us - 515 for A2000). I have also tried `aur:nvidia-beta` to no avail.

Pretty sure the entire PRIME run concepts still have quite incomplete support on Wayland, even with FOSS drivers

Arch

I might have muddied the waters by mentioning wayland here, as the driver doesn't load in terminal either. Currently attempted to boot: 

local/nvidia-open-dkms 515.48.07-3
local/linux 5.18.2.arch1-1
local/linux-headers 5.18.2.arch1-1

Modprobe gives:

 _ modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device

Dmesg still shows similar errors (I removed ibt=off from the kernel parameters as I read that for nvidia-open on the latest kernel that should be functioning)

 _ dmesg | grep nvid

Some other things I tried:
- downgraded nvidia to 510.45-1 (didn't work on kernel 5.18.2)

Manjaro

I assumed this was a model issue but to check that hypothesis I ran Manjaro Live (proprietary drivers). This seems to load the nvidia module correctly:

After a fresh try I saw the same error occurring for nouveau:

nouveau ... can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config space inaccessible)
nouveau ... unknown chipset (ffffffffff)

I'm a bit at a loss right now, good to know that the GPU is usable under linux, but my experience with dual-graphics laptops is limited. I have no idea which differences between the two distros lead to the different behaviour.

Re: [solved] HP Zbook G8 - RTX A2000 graphics card

It seems I made a mistake while trying out the various options. `nvidia-dkms` + `linux-lts` works properly, where `linux` doesn't (as indicated on the wiki, for the current kernel). I think I forgot to run `mkinitcpio -P` to make sure the `nvidia` module was included. I'll leave my experience and shame for anyone that might experience the same issue!

Re: [solved] HP Zbook G8 - RTX A2000 graphics card

Hi!!
you have been very kind in sharing your experience. It is not clear to me, however, how you solved it? If I understand correctly then installing an updated manjaro or Endevour os should work out of the box?

Re: [solved] HP Zbook G8 - RTX A2000 graphics card

No, they used Arch Linux and followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting appropriately

Please open a new thread if you need further help with this.
