I tried with AUR optimus-manager-openrc-git 1.3.1.r64.g28bdc14-1 it outputs some errors, but it works

Different forked release, behind ours and the original, does not cooperate with the rest (optimus-manager-qt needs optimus-manager>1.4)

Tell me more about how to switch, I have this output and all?

Just restart your Xorg (logout/login) right after this message, must work for switching cards.

Thanks for your feedback.

Did you logout/login, or not, before that?

Hi all, I use runit, I've installed optimus-manager-(git, plasma-qt, runit) and sddm-optimus-runit.
I started optimus service but I have this problem:

Code: [Select]

artix-runit:[root]:/home/zar_marco# optimus-manager
ERROR: a GPU setup was initiated but Xorg post-start hook did not run.
Log at /var/log/optimus-manager/switch/switch-20210610T091033.log
If your login manager is GDM, make sure to follow those instructions:
https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager#important--gnome-and-gdm-users
If your display manager is neither GDM, SDDM nor LightDM, or if you don't use one, read the wiki:
https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager/wiki/FAQ,-common-issues,-troubleshooting
Cannot execute command because of previous errors.

Hi all! I'm trying to switch from integrated mode to hybrid, but to no avail.

I use runit edition of Artix with no login system at all. That's why I manually edited my xinitrc according to the optimus-manager wiki and it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/prime-offload
ssh-agent dwm
sudo /usr/bin/prime-switch # this script is in %wheels ALL=(ALL) PASSWORD: ... list in /etc/sudoers

Since I use no login manager (and optimus-manager-runit package requires some init-displaymanager-runit package), I manually copied from git run and finish scripts to /etc/runit/sv/optomus-manager/[run, finish] and enabled it (sv status optimus-manager says that it's ok). But optimus-manager --switch hybrid says that optimus-manager service is not enabled and prime-switch says that it's ok but it prints INFO: Requested mode is: integrated and after re-login optimus-manager --print-mode still saying Current GPU mode : integrated.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Hi there I am using Runit, KDE Plasma Artix.
I have installed Nvidia Ootimus packages acvording to this guide (and another guide)
Everything is 100%:

except for when I want to change via the GUI App:

I know the runit uses sv command, I am new to runit (ex Mint user).

Also I had to add the conf file to /etc/optimus-manager/

I need to know what to do?
Do I add a script/link in the runit sv service?
Or how do I go about this?
Also, how does one check with sv which servixes are currently running?

Thank you.

I've followed this guide to get optimus-manager so that I can switch between GPUs but it doesn't work

Code: [Select]

sudo optimus-manager --switch nvidia
The optimus-manager service is not running. Please enable and start it as described at Artix Linux Wiki, and reboot

GUI also doesn't work

Code: [Select]

Please enable and start it as per Artix Linux Wiki:
'openrc init commands'
'runit init commands'
's6 init commands

I use OpenRC

Code: [Select]

rc-status default
 optimus-manager                                                                                                                        [  started  ]

Code: [Select]

kamey-x541nc:[kamey]:~$ glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL vendor string: Intel

Xrandr doesn't even show nvidia

Code: [Select]

i also had the same exact problem while also using runit, almost giving up on artix as no solution has been shown to this problem. I hope the maintaner shows us a way or something.
I'm using dwm, nvidia gtx1650, intel 10500h, dell g15 laptop, SDDM.
I hope that someone can help me as i don't want to go back to systemd.

Not getting xrandr to show nvidia is definitely the problem there. Post output of dmesg, lsmod and Xorg.0.log at https://paste.artixlinux.org.

Hi all, I installed optimus manager today and after the command

Code: [Select]

$ sudo prime-switch

I got an error:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/prime-switch", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('optimus-manager==1.4', 'console_scripts', 'prime-switch')())
  File "/usr/bin/prime-switch", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point
    for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 919, in distribution
    return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 518, in from_name
    raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for optimus-manager

As I understand it, it is related to the Python 3.10 update. And the recommended command to rebuild the package did not help in this case.
I also found out that the Optimus Manager developer updated pkgrel on the 14th of last month.

I am inexperienced in Linux and wanted to know if there is something I need to do on my end or if this package needs to be updated in the Universe repository.
