Force every app to use iGPU instead of dGPU on laptop.

A_Arch_Linux_User999 · 2023-05-16 14:44:22

Hello, I've been having an issue with GNOME Shell and NVIDIA drivers.

I have a laptop with an Intel iGPU, NVIDIA dGPU with the display attached to the Intel iGPU. However despite my best efforts, gnome-shell continues to run on my NVIDIA GPU eating up all of my battery life. I would like to have my machine run everything on the Intel iGPU unless I specifically use prime-run or "Launch with Discrete Graphics Card". Steam also seems to run with NVIDIA GPU.

My Intel iGPU is card0
My NVIDIA dGPU is card1

My information comes from NVIDIA-smi and intel_gpu_top

I have tried:
-Removing kernel nvidia_drm.modeset=1
-Adding a udev rule with 'ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/dri/card0", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary"'
-Adding Intel Xorg config (note, I am on wayland, this was just to be sure **and it does seem like Xwayland DOES run on Intel iGPU**)
-Installing all Intel drivers (i.e. mesa, intel-vulkan and their lib32 versions)

Having NVIDIA GPU do all of this unnecessary work is really killing my battery life. I'd mostly like to have the GPU off unless I'm specifically choosing to use it for a specific app.

This has all the signs of an Optimus/PRIME system . have you checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus ?

While mentioned as not having helped for GNOME in particular, see this thread and respons for another avenue to try: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p2094847

To be clear: my multi-gpu setup works fine.

Prime-run works as expected, many applications like Firefox run under the iGPU unless launched with prime-run or the dedicated graphics option in gnome, and my system is stable under Wayland (however X support is actually **BROKEN** and won't launch anyone which sucks as I actually need native xorg in order to run a specific app as Xwayland has an issue where it'll only update the window surface if I go into the activities menu where you can see all applications).

My problem is that gnome-shell runs under the NVIDIA dGPU and has turned the battery life of my system into less than an hour in some cases. I want gnome-shell to run under the Intel iGPU and for the GPU to be powered off unless I launch an app with it.
Step 1 is, of course, to get gnome-shell running under my Intel iGPU which I haven't been able to successfully do yet.

Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

About the Xorg issue, after making that post I went into the Xorg log and found that it was complaining about No Screens and the lack of an Intel module. I installed the xorg-drivers and got Xorg to work and run only under Intel. Great!

Now my USB mouse doesn't work even in the Wayland-based GDM... (although my touchpad does)
and I want Wayland and not just Xorg to run on the iGPU...

Here is my Xorg log:

...My problem is that gnome-shell runs under the NVIDIA dGPU and has turned the battery life of my system into less than an hour in some cases. I want gnome-shell to run under the Intel iGPU and for the GPU to be powered off unless I launch an app with it.
Step 1 is, of course, to get gnome-shell running under my Intel iGPU which I haven't been able to successfully do yet.

Sounds a lot like this gnome-shell issue, which doesn't appear to be Wayland-specific despite title:

A_Arch_Linux_User999 · 2023-05-17 15:53:23

Xorg isn't an issue right now, the issue is that:
1: NVIDIA GPU is always active and in D0 power mode even if I don't launch anything that uses it.
2: Wayland will only run on NVIDIA GPU

No. You *know* nothing.

Xorg used to fail because you explicitly told it to use the intel driver which was not installed.
You stop tellign it that, it won't try to use it and - most likely - succeed to use the modesetting driver.

As for the nvidia D3, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … Management

"Wayland" will run on nothing, you're looking for mutter and it'll run on whatever GPU you direct to to run.
If it indeed runs on the nvidia chip, that's because you globally export DRI_PRIME - or at least to the session.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … figuration

V1del · 2023-05-17 16:14:24

Technically that gnome-shell leaves a process active should not generally lead to the GPU being left in the higher power states, just from a mechanism perspective that's the same thing that happens on Xorg. If anything else other than gnome shell runs on the nvidia GPU that would be problematic. To be frank I'm not entirely sure how this will be handled on a wayland case going forward and whether compositors can mark themselves as "idle" processes so that nvidia does not consider them to be important enough to not go to sleep.

As I type this, my battery approaches 0% thanks to the derailment of the point of the conversation and the NVIDIA GPU eating up all my power doing LITERALLY nothing (atleast according to nvidia-smi).
Removing this Xorg config results in Xorg also running on my NVIDIA GPU.
Do you think I haven't tried this?
Modprobe and udev rules didn't work.
Setting DRI_PRIME in /etc/environment did not result in anything not running on the NVIDIA GPU.

V1del · 2023-05-17 16:24:46

All of this is normal, that you see a Xorg process running on xorg is normal and that you see a gnome-shell process running is normal. As mentioned above not sure how the deal is on GNOME, but in the Xorg case, despite the Xorg running on the nvidia card it should enter the lower power state. You probably want to look at it without nvidia-smi though, since that will wake up the device. Use

cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/power_state

to check which state the card is actually in and monitor your actual power draw with powertop or so.

seth · 2023-05-17 16:31:58

There's possibly confusion about what "running on" means.
There's no confusion that the OP is a running Dunning-Kruger effect and hopefully msanaged to boot parts of their brain when we continue this tomorrow.

Seth, please do not continue to reply to this conversation. You have failed to contribute in any meaningful way or tell me something that I already didn't know.
To answer your question: running on my NVIDIA GPU = rendering using it and being reported via nvidia-smi
Not sure why that wasn't abundantly clear.

V1del · 2023-05-17 17:39:46

It isn't really clear, as stated that you will see a process is generally normal and expected. A 1MiB process of gnome-shell will definitely not be the rendering process that's too little VRAM to do any significant rendering. And the logistic behind the PRIME implementation are that the nvidia device should stay in a low power state if VRAM doesn't exceed a certain threshhold which should be 20MiB by default. The question is whether your GPU actually wakes up which mandates you check the power state in the sys directory directly or check whether power draw is wildly too high even when it should be off.

A_Arch_Linux_User999 · 2023-05-17 17:41:28

After further troubleshooting, I somehow swapped the card numbers for my iGPU and dGPU (i.e. NVIDIA dGPU is card0 and Intel iGPU is card1) so now NVIDIA is eating up more power than ever (probably nvidia-open).

This is all too hard. Maybe I'll just complete kill the GPU on my host system and passthru to a Windows VM.
Thank you to the users who attempted to help.

On boot, when idle, my dGPU eats up 10 watts.
Is that a lot?
