[Solved] KDE Plasma reporting graphics processor as "llvm pipe"

I reinstalled Arch Linux due to the various problems that had been developing with my 6 month old badly-maintained installation. The nvidia drivers were installed through

sudo pacman -S nvidia

and appear to be loaded successfully.

System settings is reporting the graphics processor as "llvm pipe" while it should be reporting it as my graphics card "Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050ti". I have experienced some artifact, but am unsure if that's a result of this.

After switching to X11, the graphics processor is reported correctly. For some reason on wayland, the application menu and log out screen are both transparent. where in x11 they are not.

For Wayland to work properly you need to do https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting did you do that?

If that's not it, Intel Core i5-2400 has an IGP, correct?
Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

After configuring this all the issues are gone.
