[SOLVED] The nvidia-dkms not worked for me

moshen212 · 2024-02-04 15:20:27

Hi guys

I installed Archlinux by archinstall on my Victus 15 laptop with nvidia RTX 4050 graphic card and I install nvidia-dkms driver for it, all things is okay but all output of any command show me info about Intel graphic card !!!

$ glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer*"
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
OpenGL vendor string: Intel
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) Graphics (RPL-P)

Also I ran the switch command but shown error:

$ optimus-manager --switch nvidia
ERROR: the latest GPU setup attempt failed at Xorg pre-start hook.
Log at /var/log/optimus-manager/switch/switch-20240204T183454.log
Cannot execute command because of previous errors.

Did the module actually build when you installed it?

Unrelated, but you likely don't want optimus-manager. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME

moshen212 · 2024-02-04 15:28:45

Yes modules already installed, also I suppose as you this laptop have one graphic card but below command present two VGA devices:

$ lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 04)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD107M [GeForce RTX 4050 Max-Q / Mobile] (rev a1)

Then did you go through all of the steps listed in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation ?

Yes, I'm well aware of what hybrid graphics are, nobody said anything about there being one graphics card.

dkms status
modinfo nvidia

optimus-manager is a crutch and of no benefit at all for your system which is eligible for and defaults to RTD3, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … Management
That's why Scimmia told you to get rid of it (and any residual config it might have left behind)

No, I install nvidia driver by archinstall wizarder

$ dkms status
nvidia/545.29.06: added

$ modinfo nvidia
modinfo: ERROR: Module nvidia not found.

seth · 2024-02-04 16:52:05

dkms and modinfo disagree [edit: with you, not each other]

pacman -Qs kernel

So the correct answer to this question is that you have no idea.

I see progress of installing packages such as dkms and nvidia-dkms that successfully done

That's not building the dkms modules.
You've the headers, so https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynami … ld_modules and report on the success of that.

moshen212 · 2024-02-04 17:44:39

Thank you guys, My problem solved

The `linux-lts-headers` package missed by archinstall script and in process of installation this package, the `dkms autoinstall` ran.

After restart I checked current VGA device is Intel
But by below command changed VGA device to nvidia successfully:

optimus-manager --switch nvidia

After removing also make sure there's no modprobe config left behind in the initramfs - in doubt re-generate that.
