Cannot use my Nvidia card after full system update

#1

Hello, running pacman -Syu today broke several things on my system:

  • Pressing super (or the windows key) does not launch rofi anymore. Is that the normal behaviour of the new Archlabs release ?
  • Polybar does not start when I boot my system.
  • I cannot use my Nvidia card anymore. I have an optimus laptop that was set up without bumblebee. I used the optimis-manager AUR package to manually switch my system between the nvidia / intel cards. This is the most annoying issue I have as I have no clue how to solve it.

ere is my hardware:

$ lspci -nnk | grep '\[03'    
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Mobile) [8086:3e9b]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile] [10de:1c20] (rev a1)

I use the official nvidia driver from the arch repository. Running nvidia-smi give me the following:

$ nvidia-smi      
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Any idea what I should do ? Thank you in advance for your help.

For the mod key thing see: Mod key used to run rofi?

For the polybar thing I believe you’ll need to install an extra package as per: ArchLabs 2018.12 Release specifically the skel and scripts instructions.

Would be interested to know about the nVidia thing if anyone can help.

#4

For issue #1 run pacman -S archlabs-ksuperkey

For issue #2

# preemptively remove conflicting packages
pacman -R archlabs-user-skel archlabs-pipemenus archlabs-oblogout archlabs-polybar

# remove any lingering old skeleton files
rm -rf /etc/skel

# install the base group and additional packages for openbox
pacman -S archlabs archlabs-skel-openbox archlabs-pipemenus archlabs-polybar --needed

If you get errors while installing the new packges like file exists then you’ll need to

rm /path/to/conflicting/file

For #3
I don’t believe this is an issue related to us, I’m not sure what has happened but I appreciate the info you supplied. Looking at the output from your nvidia-smi seems to indicate you don’t have any nvidia drivers installed, can you run the following and post their output

# list packages matching 'nvidia' in search
pacman -Qsq nvidia

# which kernel
uname -a

# what files do you have in /etc/X11
ls -R /etc/X11

I see you have an intel gpu as well, do you use the nvidia gpu at any point? or are you happy to just use the intel one?

Virtualbox full screen corruption [SOLVED]
#6

First of all, thank you to take times for me.

Everything is back to normal for polybar but removing the packages and installing them back.

For nvidia, here is the output you requested:

[nakrule@mordor ~]$ pacman -Qsq nvidia

Yeah, I have an Intel GPU that I use for all tasks except gaming. If that help, we can try to nuke it and only use the Nvidia one. I though removing and installing the Nvidia drivers may solve my issue, as this is what people do in this situation according to stack overflow. But even with Rd option, I cannot delete them:

[nakrule@mordor ~]$ pacman -Rd nvidia
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: optimus-manager: removing nvidia breaks dependency 'nvidia'

I don’t understand what pacman check for a dependency check with the d flag.

#7

I don’t recognize this file 10-optimus-manager.conf and I would wager this is where your issue is coming from

I would first just try removing these files or renaming them to something ending in .bkp this will stop X from loading them.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-optimus-manager.conf

Then reboot or restart Xorg and see if the issue continues.

Regarding the -d flag for pacman, the manual says (note the last sentence)

-d, --nodeps
          Skips dependency version checks. Package names are still checked. Normally, pacman
          will always check a package’s dependency fields to ensure that all dependencies are
          installed and there are no package conflicts in the system. Specify this option twice
          to skip all dependency checks.

The file 10-optimus-manager.conf comes from the AUR package optimus-manager. It’s a tool I use to manually switch between my Intel and Nvidia GPU since this gives way better performance that bumblebee (from 110 to 260FPS in CSGO for example).

But you’re right, this is definitely the issue. I renamed the files and my system was booting, but a new created 10-optimus-manager.conf was present. So I removed the optimus-manager package and again deleted the 10-optimus-manager.conf file.

Now, then I reboot, startx give me a black screen without any error message. Switching to another tty, I can see that the output from nvidia-smi looks fine (driver version 415.25).

I suspect the remaining problem is related to my screen, as xrandr return “Can’t open display”. Should I remove my xorg.conf file and reboot ?

Yea, at least then your system will boot into Xorg without issues, from there you can try setting up the optimus manager again.

Sometimes a kernel or driver change can cause these issues, usually related to configuration files that don’t get updated when the package changes, starting fresh will hopefully fix it.

I would also check out the package AUR page and read the comments, see if any apply to your problem

The bit regarding the default target, try

systemctl set-default graphical.target
#10

It’s almost working I guess. After removing my xorg.conf file, I was still not able to startx into my system. I tried a lot of things and this is the only way I found to have a graphical environment with the nvidia driver loading correctly:

  • optimus-manager is removed, but I still have the 10-optimus-manager file, else I cannot start X correctly (black screen).
  • Without this package, the nvidia driver load correctly.

This is what I have in 10-optimus-manager.conf:

Section "Device"
	Identifier "intel"
	Driver "modesetting"
	BusID "00:02:0"
	Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection

I must say I’m a bit out of idea. I don’t understand while X does not start properly without this file.

#11

Is this related? I notice the BusID is odd looking in your 10-optimus-manager.conf

I’m looking to get my own janky eGPU expresscard 970 setup working on AL rather than having to boot into Mint to play Morrowind and stream/record coding sessions.

#12

According to lspci, I should use 01:00.0. However, setting this in value in the file 10-optimus-manager result in a black screen when starting X.

#13

Have you tried doing that in the root config for X /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it’s loaded first before alll the files in xorg.conf.d might just be a timing thing.

#14

Yes, that is the file is renamed with .bkp in the end. I guess I will have to save my whole system and start a new install. Will still check this week-end if I manage to get it working.

#15

Have you tried the bumblebee package instead of the prop nvidia?
