Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

I have an Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-45) with an AMD Radeon Vega series on an AMD Ryzen 5800H as my iGPU and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 for my dGPU. for some reason whenever i open GNOME(regardless on if it has wayland beside it and i am not going to use X11), it turns off my display, turns it back on and kicks me back into either, sddm or gdm depending on which one i have enabled. I have followed the Requirments for gnome on Nvidia including setting mutter debug kms thread to user, the GNOME troubleshoot page(specifically points 25 and 27) and requirements for wayland including setting to GBM on gnome  made sure to no avail. this is my journald. When i run

Re: Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

I havn't done much to the amdgpu driver since installation other than install mesa and other things related.

amdvlk development is stopped by amd , xf86-video-amdgpu is only relevant on X11 and even there rarely needed nowadays .
It's unlikely to solve your issue but remove all 3 .
To replace amdvlk/lib32-amdvlk install vulkan-radeon & lib32-vulkan-radeon .

On hybrid systems the primary gpu needs to finish initialising before the secondary .
On your system the secondary card (nvidia) is finished before the primary (amd) .

Please post your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

gnome wants to run on the nvidia GPU despite no outputs being attached there.
Are you somehow steering it there?
You could try to ad "amdgpu" to the initramfs MODULES list to have it load earlier and take the card1 slot

Re: Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

So xwayland is no longer crashing?
The xorg log is ~20h old, hybrid system xf86-video-amdgpu + nvidia running on the AMD chip where the only output is attached.

no, i forgot to mention that the boot i had with amdgpu in MODULES, it broke. then i had another boot to remove amd gpu from MODULES and regenrate mkinitcpio, and then another boot to get to now

Re: Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

Ok, that's useless then - please post the journal of that boot to check whether it at least had an impact on gnome.

Re: Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

alright now im confused. I tested with putting amdgpu in modules again to to clear up the confusion i made and instead of crashing it had no effect(nvidia still shows up as the first card (altough now the naming convention of /dev/dri now starts with 0)) and gnome keeps crashing)?

Re: Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

The boot has amdgpu in the initramfs, nvidia not, starts SDDM on X11 and from there a hyprland session. No gnome nor anything that looks like a crash?

gnome is dead set to run on the nvidia GPU.
Do you have any udev rules setting "mutter-device-preferred-primary"?
If not, add one: /etc/udev/rules.d/61-mutter-preferred-primary-gpu.rules with:

DRIVERS=="amdgpu", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x1002", ATTRS{device}=="0x1638", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary"

gnome is dead set to run on the nvidia GPU.
Do you have any udev rules setting "mutter-device-preferred-primary"?
If not, add one: /etc/udev/rules.d/61-mutter-preferred-primary-gpu.rules with:

DRIVERS=="amdgpu", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x1002", ATTRS{device}=="0x1638", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary"

gnome is still crashing

Re: Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

Please avoid bloating the thread w/ pointless full quotes of previous posts.

printenv
pacman -Qikk nvidia-utils
cat /usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json

are you using anything like optimus-manager, bumblebee, etc. et pp?

what happens if you remove that?

Re: Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

So after all the even most fringe paths went nowhere (you have all the little egl jsons) let's take a look at the obvious:

Re: Gnome crashing and returning to login on hybrid gpu system

Either of them in any combination and related to the hybrid or nvidia graphics.
Disable them all and see whether that has any impact on gnome being adamant about the EGL situation.
If that works, figure which one(s) you can enable w/o breaking things.
The remainder is the problem.

Or it's not because of those at all (the theory is it being related to framebuffer sharing among the GPUs but idk at all)
