[SOLVED]Nvidia GPU integrity check for Hyprland

jojo06 · 2024-01-10 17:21:08

I was uninstalled nvidia for sway but now im using hyprland. Not intentionally but in my neofetch my GPU appears. Hyprland says its possible to launch hyprland with nvidia gpu but make sure, you follow the wiki and made it right. I would give it a try but if its done by itself, dont want to break it. And want to check the integrity if its wrong/problematic I need to uninstall or repair it.

pacman -Qs nvidia

local/ffnvcodec-headers 12.1.14.0-1
    FFmpeg version of headers required to interface with Nvidias codec APIs
local/libvdpau 1.5-2
    Nvidia VDPAU library

neofetch

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Resolution: 1920x1080

neofetch just tells you that nvidia exists. With those packages (..unless you installed from the nvidia website which you shouldn't' do) the nvidia card is likely not going to do much (unless it's the only GPU and you're actually running it on nouveau now).

If you want to set it up so that it's possible to be used follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation and add

nvidia-drm.modeset=1

to your kernel parameters.

Well, i have one GPU, before than it and even now (it appears so) im using nouveau. I dont have conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and not gonna create because will go for Xwayland. And i guess its not necessary for now.

nvidia-settings < do i need to use this for configurate automaticly ? I must be misunderstood the wiki says we can either use grub or mkinitcpio to load nvidia. I thought we need both. Dont i need to add `splash` to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT ?

Forgive me for asking this but instead of MODULES() array descriped in the wiki im all set with HOOKS=() so is it okay to go on and add to the HOOKS or should i add to the MODULES or more than that, edit/move all from HOOKS to MODULES ?

And its so close to hyprland wiki descripton. But in there it says add to the MODULES like this: `nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm`

And it says i need to create nvidia.conf and add `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` that one to it. Which way should i follow ?:

You follow V1del's advice and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation
The "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" is relevant for wayland support and to suppress the simpledrm device (the latter is *only* achived through the kernel commandline)
And you're not running nvidia-settings for hyprland at all, it's mostly an X11 tool.

jojo06 · 2024-01-10 20:52:21

Sure thing. Removed kms from hooks and added `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` to modules and nothing else. So its general nvidia setup, how can i check is it working proplery for hyprland ?

seth · 2024-01-10 20:53:50

Does hyprland start?
Does "lsmod | grep nvidia" say you're loading the nvidia modules?

jojo06 · 2024-01-10 21:58:03

`lsmod | grep nvidia` return nothing.

Hyprland starts yes, but with a few unwanted warning/errors (that might be not related)

`lsmod | grep nvidia` return nothing.

Means you're not loading the nvidia driver.
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

jojo06 · 2024-01-10 22:35:32

I did not reboot.
Just for knowledge; why do we are not use `grep nvidia` and/or `grep nouevau` ? Its too many lines and i might found it:

I was looking to also get into it and learn each time. Now I saw some, dhcp and ip stuff. So im kinda worried about sharing it, thats why Im trying to avoid sharing. Not trying to be smartass, dont get me wrong.

There's nothing generally private in there. What exactly did you install? nvidia and nvidia-utils? Did you regenerate your mkinitcpio initramfs images after removing the KMS hook?

Alright, good to know. I installed nvidia. But when I check with `pacman -Ss nvdia-utils` its also installed for dependencies I guess. I was not because you didnt mentioned, for this setup i thought we will not gonna do it.

`sudo mkinitcpio -P:

==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia_drm.modeset=1'

mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(nvidia-drm.modeset=1)
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf keyboard keymap block lvm2 filesystems fsck)

seth · 2024-01-11 09:15:36

Remove that nonsense from the MODULES array and read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters (again)

The reason why we're asking for the full journal is because there's no way to know what exactly the problem is gonna be and it's tedious to ask you for a dozen random greps, possibly on a moving target.

Yes, i read it. Now its done. With order: Removed nonsense from MODULES and regenerated the mkinitcpio. Added `splash` to to the `LINUX_DEFAULT` and and regenerated the boot-mkconfig.

And sure thing, if its not private at all: http://0x0.st/HILm.txt

seth · 2024-01-11 09:45:19

Wtf do you want w/ "splash"? "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" is still the important kernel parameter.

Also neither is in the kernel commandline.
Wtf is "boot-mkconfig"?

jojo06 · 2024-01-11 10:22:35

Im sorry, in the link it says the `splash` will ad to the LINUX_DEFAULT= section. For `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` i thought thats what `splash` for.

For regenerating boot i use command `sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` as wiki said.

EDIT: Man i must be real cozy. Sorry for all of that. Add the `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` in the `LINUX_DEFAULT` after 'splash' regenerated mkinitcpio and grub and:

lsmod | grep nvidia

guns@roses ~ % lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_drm            118784  15
