Can't get to GUI while using Integrated only mode in Nvidia Optimus

Hello everybody....

So i just installed the nvidia-open, optimus-switch, and bbswitch package on my Legion 7i laptop with this specs:

CPU: Intel i7-10750H (12) @ 5.000GHz
GPU: Intel CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics]
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile

I've followed the Arch Optimus guide, and somehow succeed in installing the Nvidia drivers and be able to switch to "Hybrid" or "Nvidia Only" mode through optimus-switch

$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "vga"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics] (rev 05)
        Subsystem: Lenovo Device 3fcf
        Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU106BM [GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Lenovo Device 3fcf
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

but when i want to switch to only use the Integrated GPU, when i log out, it stuck on the screen : /dev/nvme0n1pn: clean, ..... files, ..... blocks  with an infinite blinking underscore

what may be the issue?

[link]https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bu … -234494238[/link] the closest fix i saw online was that post,  it basically asks you to modify the ACPI OSI, it is quite an old post with old laptop, would it be the issue?

any help would be appreciated

Re: Can't get to GUI while using Integrated only mode in Nvidia Optimus

You don't and should not want to use any of these solutions on a system with a Turing GPU, get rid of optimus-manager, optimus-switch and bbswitch, and instead just follow: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … er_offload and particularly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#NVIDIA

As for the current underlying issue and if uninstalling those doesn't help, post the contents of the files under /etc/X11, and potentially a xorg log https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services for how to paste longer text
