ERRORS

External monitors not working

Important

Nvidia drivers are not compatible with Wayland, you must use Xorg or similar

• Check the graphics car you are using: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

1. Check if they are even detected: xrandr --listmonitors
   1. If they are just go to: wiki.archlinux.org and follow the steps
2. Otherwise:
   1. Identify your GPU: lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"
      • NVIDIA: sudo pacman -Syu nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-settings
      • AMD: sudo pacman -Syu
      • Intel: sudo pacman -Syu
   2. Reboot: sudo reboot now

Tip

Try to plug the external monitors via Thunderbolt instead of HDMI

Enabling Nvidia GPU

I created the following Topic at the official forum, which dealed to the solution: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/nvidia-geforce-3060-rtx-mobile-not-working/59686/6

BTW, just do the following:

• First I removed optimus-manager-qt-git and optimus-manager-git

sudo pacman -Rs optimus-manager-git optimus-manager-qt-git

• Then I installed envy-control:

cd /your/path 
git clone https://github.com/bayasdev/envycontrol.git 
cd envycontrol 
sudo pacman -S python-pipx # this is to create an isolated environment 
pipx install .

• Now get the path to execute the script:

pipx list # search for the envycontrol # in my case it was: sudo /home/gitblanc/.local/bin/envycontrol --switch nvidia 
sudo /path/to/envycontrol --switch nvidia

• It is imperative to reboot for the changes to take effect: sudo reboot now
