ERRORS
External monitors not working
Credits to https://discovery.endeavouros.com
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"
- Check if they are even detected:
xrandr --listmonitors
- If they are just go to: wiki.archlinux.org and follow the steps
- Otherwise:
- 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
- NVIDIA:
- Reboot:
sudo reboot now
- Identify your GPU:
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 removedย
optimus-manager-qt-git
ย andยoptimus-manager-git
sudo pacman -Rs optimus-manager-git optimus-manager-qt-git
- Then I installedย
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:ย
sudo reboot now
