HIgh CPU usage + Unrecognized GPU + No omarchy control menu/shortcuts

[icy pond]

whenever i open an app or new tab or sometimes just randomly my cpu usage goes to 100% , and suddenly im unable to use the omarchy control menu or any omarchy shortcuts, also i cannot view my gpu details in this control panel type thing

i installed linux (it was a dual boot ) for the first time yesterday and everything was fine , i had no problems with booting or anything and my two screens worked fine and were assigned different
work spaces by default.

everything was a little chopy so i decided to install drivers using this guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide , ever since then my omarchy shortcuts and all have stopped working and now both my monitor show the same workspace at the same time, the cpu problem has been there since the beginning , as far as i know everything else is working perfectly fine ,

(i dual booted using this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE0foLfYkfk)

i've only messed with the files that the tutorials and guide told me to mess with , please tell me if i've broken something

i also installed minecraft with prism launcher and the version 1.8.9 didnt work but 1.21.11 somehow did and when i eventually entered a world i got around 20fps , for context i get 120+ on windows and when i hit f3 it didnt show any information in the place where it normally shows the
gpu details (this was before the drivers installation)

my gpu is gt730 gddr5 and i have 8gb ram 2666mhz with i3 10105f (no integrated graphics )processor , can anybody help me fix this

~ ❯ lspci | grep -i -E 'vga|3d|2d' && pacman -Q nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 730] (rev a1)

Can you run

lsmod | grep nouveau 

 lsmod | grep -i nvidia
``` And paste it here

[icy pond]

~ ✗ lsmod | grep nouveau
lsmod | nvidia
bash: command not found: nvidia

[amber crow]

idk how the display is rendering without any drivers

[icy pond]

look here beneath the cpu usage it shows that the gpu vram usgae is 0bytes / 1.9gb , how is this possible my cpu doesnt even have integrated graphics

if this is beyond your ability dont bother and just explain how do i get the omarchy control menu and shortcuts back

[amber crow]

You sure you don't have igpu?

see it in fastfetch

[amber crow]

can you run it again

lsmod | grep nouveau

[icy pond]

~ ✗ lsmod | grep nouveau

when i run i get no output whatsoever you can also see it in the fastfetch screenshot

[amber crow]

I don't know what magical driver is installed

[icy pond]

i dunno man i just followed the guide mentioned above

once again if you cant figure ts out just help me with the omarchy menu/shortcuts problem

[amber crow]

You can install Nvidia drivers

First blacklist nouveau just in case

paste this in your terminal
echo -e "blacklist nouveau\noptions nouveau modeset=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Then

Run

sudo pacman -Sy linux-headers && sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

and reboot

[icy pond]

did it and nothing ahppened everything is still the same , im pretty sure i already did this in the guide + a few other changes

also during running both the commands
==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/470.256.02 -k 6.18.13-arch1-1
this command ran and maxed out my cpu usage

[amber crow]

did your system crashed

[icy pond]

nope

[amber crow]

Can you run

lsmod | grep nvidia

[icy pond]

~ ✗ lsmod | nvidia
bash: command not found: nvidia

you've already made me run it before

[amber crow]

it should show the Nvidia drivers since you just installed it

Did you not reboot?

[icy pond]

i rebooted

[amber crow]

pacman -Q nvidia

[icy pond]

i did
sudo -i
then
reboot now

[icy pond]

~ ✗ pacman -Q nvidia
error: package 'nvidia' was not found

[amber crow]

Did you installed?

[icy pond]

what

[amber crow]

the driver if you will

[icy pond]

yes

[amber crow]

run one by one plz

[amber crow]

This

I am very confused..why didn't it get listed

[icy pond]

i ran it one by one

[icy pond]

first this

then the other part

look i know you are trying to help but this isnt getting anywhere

i think we should just focus on the other problem

[amber crow]

🤷

[icy pond]

tfym

brother

lets just put the fries in the bag

[amber crow]

i wouldn't trust random YouTube dual boot guides — tons of people report issues with them. You also followed a deprecated nvidia driver installation guide. I told you what to install from the start, but there's no confirmation it actually installed correctly. Not sure if you even followed the steps properly

[thin musk]

lmao, bro you are running 'lsmod | nvidia', you should be running 'lsmod | grep nvidia'
