Bug report/fix for nvidia-persistenced
Hello,
I have just switched to Artix using s6 and have been enjoying it so far. I made sure to read about s6 before using it so that I wouldn't get lost. It's pretty conceptually simple, and that helped me to work out what was going wrong here.
Basically, any time I tried to start nvidia-persistenced it would spit out
ERROR: Failed to find user ID of user '': Success
over and over again on tty1. I did some investigation and looked in /run/s6-rc/servicedirs/nvidia-persistenced/run. There, I found that it used /etc/s6/config/nvidia-utils.conf to set up the environment for the daemon. That file had a mistake in it, namely
NVPD_USER=""
Which was causing the nvidia-persistence daemon to be launched with a non-existent blank user.
By changing this to
NVPD_USER="nvidia-persistenced"
the problem was resolved.
Anyone else who is having the same issue should check the same file.
Does anyone know where to file an actual bug report for this? The nvidia-utils-s6 package was built by a bot, so I don't know who or where to tell someone.
Thanks.
