[SOLVED] Cannot hotplug eGPU (for compute) anymore

Hi, I have a Razer Core X eGPU, with a NVIDIA RTX 3060Ti inside.

Whereas some time ago I was able to just plug the eGPU and use it for e.g. Pytorch, now I cannot anymore and I have to boot the laptop with the eGPU already plugged-in.

I just checked that, with a Ubuntu 22.04.1, the hotplug works.

The way I check that hotplugging works (independently of Nvidia driver support) is that I check if the NVIDIA device shows up in lspci.

So with the current 6.0.12-artix1-1 kernel, after I hotplug the eGPU, there is no NVIDIA mention in lspci.

Does anybody have some hint about what could be changed, e.g. in kernel compilations settings, or in kernel boot options, to have it working again?

Hello,

I propose to check the output of "dmesg" command at the time of the hotplug event, if there is something interesting printed there.

@SGOrava Thanks for your reply!

When I plug the eGPU, these lines appear in dmesg:

Code: [Select]
[  126.869990] thunderbolt 0-0:1.1: new retimer found, vendor=0x8087 device=0x15ee
[  127.400842] thunderbolt 0-1: new device found, vendor=0x127 device=0x1
[  127.400845] thunderbolt 0-1: Razer Core X

And there is nothing else triggered by the event (no other lines after, and all the lines before were already there before the event).

Whereas, under the same circumstances, Ubuntu 22.04.1 (on a Live USB) outputs this:
