Desktop hybrid intel RTX with wayland KDE, GPU not working. (solved)

ACE7F22 · 2024-06-29 06:14:48

I've been trying to fix this for days, thoroughly reading tutuorials, guides, and wiki pages for Prime, Nvidia, Wayland, nouveau, etc. I added the "blacklist nouveau", and "nvidia_modeset=1", updates, I've followed just about every step I can find. I'm getting "N" when checking "sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset", and "xrandr --listproviders" is giving me "0". I tried "xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink 5161 8882", and it says "Could not find provider" which is the GPU. I honestly don't know what I'm missing, and I'm on here out of desperation. x.x

Also, I looked hard, and didn't see "kms" in the file to remove the hook. Like, how do I remove something that isn't there?
"HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode keyboard keymap modconf block filesystems fsck)"

Asus Strix z790-H
Intel Core i9 12900K
MSI RTX 4060

HDMI plugged in to MB.
Bios configured to use iGPU as primary. (Steam on Windows will use the RTX when launching a game, so I know it can pass the rendering through the MB.)

Arch Linux installed on separate drive, booting from UEFI>Grub>Wayland-KDE-Plasma. Not a VM.
(update, as of sep., I reinstalled Linux using "systemd boot", everything else is the same)

I have nvidia drivers and utils installed, as well as konsole, prime, code, dolphin, firefox, steam.

Multilib is enabled.

I've tried launching Geometry Wars from steam to test, and the game just crashes immediately.
(update, this may be irrelevant. I can run "Distance" no problem, but I don't think it's using the Nvidia GPU.)

The system shows the info for my GPU, just won't actually use the GPU.

Directly from Konsole
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation AlderLake-S GT1 (rev 0c)
DeviceName: Onboard IGD
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 8882
Kernel driver in use: i915

Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device 5161

Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

Ps, I hope to get this thoroughly figured out, so it can be a resource for anyone else confused on this topic.

Please don't bump, edit your previous post if nobody has yet responded.

First off all, forget about anything xrandr on wayland.

I'm getting "N" when checking "sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset"

Well, make that a "Y", enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting - use the "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" kernel parameter to also disable the simpledrm device.

I've tried launching Geometry Wars from steam to test, and the game just crashes immediately.

Why do you think that has anything to do with nvida or prime, notably if you didn't prime-run it?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … _using_GPU

DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo -B
prime-run glxinfo32 -B

and post the actual steam crash output.

nb. that blahblah-steam means you're NOT running on wayland but on xwayland ie steam will run in a nested X11 server.
Have you tried the behavior on plasma/X11?

ACE7F22 · 2024-06-29 19:33:43

"xrandr" being ignored moving forward. However, I just checked the "Prime" page, and most of the scripts and instructions use "xrandr". How do I set up offloading without it? How do I list providers?

Got the modeset working now. I missed adding a file in "modprobe.d", my bad.

I've read several comments stating that prime/nvidia just works automatically from steam, so I tested with a simple game just to see if it works. I hit play, it gives a splash screen, acts like it's loading for a few seconds, then goes back to the steam screen. I don't know how to launch it from konsole, or access the crash report.

I'm asking directly because I keep running into walls where people are giving fixes for laptops, GPU only set-ups(ignore iGPU), xorg, nouveau, AMD, and it seems the answers aren't relevant to my set up. I thought Wayland was simply better than xorg, but the documentation seems to suggest that the same steps apply with "xrandr".

To be clear, I want my desktop to use the iGPU for everything that's not demanding, and anything that is demanding, the GPU renders, and offloads to the iGPU to display with everything else. I'm assuming this would be perfect for virtual machines as well, having the iGPU for the main machine, and pass the GPU through to the VM. I read that without a secondary gpu, you can't render both a desktop and VM.

I'll try x11, but I though Wayland was better, and preferable.?

You end up using some software emulation via zink on the nvidia GPU. As mentioned, enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting - use the "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" kernel parameter as it's a hard requirement to use nvidia w/ wayland, prime or not.

glxinfo32 is in https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib … esa-utils/
You'll most likely require the multilib repo - and for the nvidia drivers also lib32-nvidia-utils to run some steam games.
You can use the nvidia GPU / prime w/ steam following the second link in my previous post.

I'll try x11, but I though Wayland was better, and preferable.?

I'd ask "better at what and how", but as pointed out: steam runs on X11 anyway.

ACE7F22 · 2024-06-29 22:24:01

I have "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" in a "nvidia.conf" file in "/etc/modprobe.d" with the line "options nvidia_drm modeset=1", and nvidia_drm added to modules in mkinitcpio.conf. Am I missing anything?

added lib32-mesa-utils, already have lib32-nvidia-utils.

Reading into xorg vs Wayland, I got the understanding that Wayland is newer, and has compatibility layers for xorg, "xwayland" I think? I assumed that Wayland was just an improvement, or step up from xorg.

I'm currently trying to figure out how to launch the game with "prime-run" or something. I'll update if I make progress, but for now, just wanted to respond and say thanks for the help so far.?

This approach is leaving the simpledrm device in place and you've to regenerate the initramfs for your actions to apply, but the glxinfo32 output properly uses the initramfs.

wayland is a different display server protocol, the thing you can compare to the Xorg X11 server is your wayland compositor (sway, hyprland, mutter, kwin, …) and whatever benefits it might offer you are lost when you're running an X11 client in a wayland session (for that client) while all it's deficits will be in full force.

try previous version of nvidia driver this one is not a "stable one" few people have pb with it..

I apologize for the late reply. I've been trouble shooting, and been in and out of the hospital. I intend to give a more thorough update later, just wanted to say I haven't abandoned this, and not ignoring you all.

I appreciate the info and advice.?

Hi, I'm back, sorta. Sorry for not being able to stay on this.

So, I have Nvidia modeset = "Y"

I tried running a steam game with the "__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%" launch option, and it didn't seem to make a difference.

Ok, steam game launch options "prime-run %command%" works. I think this issue is solved, and thank you everyone for the support.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
