you sure you have the right nvidia package installed?

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 12:07 AM

#

Yeah just plain nvidia

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 12:07 AM

#

and using the plain linux kernel?

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 12:07 AM

#

As far as I know

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 12:08 AM

#

check /etc/xorg.conf and /etc/xorg.conf.d/

#

could be weird stuff there

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 12:08 AM

#

What am I looking for

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 12:10 AM

#

oh wait, you are using optimus-manager again i guess

#

because your iGPU wasn't in the lspci output

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 12:11 AM

#

I'm not sure what optimus is

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 12:11 AM

#

pacman -Qs optimus

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 12:11 AM

#

No output

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

oh okay, i misremembered.
seems you have an iGPU, but it's not an Optimus laptop (dual GPU)

#

pacman -Qs "(nvidia|nouv)" to check what nvidia stuff you have installed.
maybe we need to blacklist nouveau

#

but it should launch anyway with this. :/

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

molten mortar What am I looking for

anything; nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig likes to mess up everything.

#

that's why i recommended you not to use nvidia to set up your layout or anything

#

but i'm not sure if it's related to this case of graphics not starting

#

OK, there might actually be an issue with the latest nvidia update

green parcel May 4, 2023, 2:40 AM

#

wait it's not software related
it appears to be your monitor is the issue

#

if other monitors don't have the glitch it's the monitor fault

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 2:43 AM

#

mm yeah

#

im just not sure why

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

but reportedly the monitor works fine on Windows

#

still, you should try another WM.

#

once you go dwm, you never go back.

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

once you go xmonad you never want to leave

#

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 2:54 AM

#

damm

#

cause i cant find anything anywhere about how to

#

also why is brave out of date lmao

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 3:05 AM

#

regular citizens flag AUR packages as out-of-date, when they are just slightly off the latest git version of the application the package is for.
however, there's often a reason for it being back 1-2 versions or so.

do you have any idea how to fix the iwlwifi error at startup?

#

it is very annoying

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 4:10 AM

#

what is that?

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

molten mortar

every single startup i get this

#

when im logging in

molten mortar May 4, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

molten mortar

(i got this from journalctl)

gloomy kraken May 4, 2023, 4:15 AM

#

probably no solution

#

check firmware issues for your specific device on the web

molten mortar May 8, 2023, 12:18 AM

#

Helloooo

#

So

#

I am still having lots of issues with glitches

#

and i am working on doing some extra research

molten mortar May 8, 2023, 12:36 AM

#

I did find one article on nvidia forums

#

wher alot of people experienced what i beleive is my same issue only on one monitor and only if the monitors wher above 120hz

#

i switched my second monitor down to 120hz

#

but im keeping my main at 144

#

will test

molten mortar May 8, 2023, 5:54 AM

#

Ok i have tested

#

at first it was very subtle

#

after a while alot of the invetory screens have burnt in

#

i also notice after about 30 mins

#

if i press Esc

#

it permantley locks me in the escape menu

#

i can click every other button except for back to game

#

This is making me think this is definatley an issue with OpenGL

#

@gloomy kraken @green parcel

#

sometimes when i reboot

#

to remove the burnt in image

#

i can still see it

#

every so slightly

#

im going to try switching the monitor experiencing the issue from 144hz to 120

#

and i will try not using fullscreen mode

green parcel May 8, 2023, 6:45 AM

#

hm

molten mortar May 8, 2023, 8:34 AM

#

@here

#

I have solved it

#

I have been playing for 2-3 hours

#

and zero glitches

#

The Fix:

#

I set both of my monitors to 120hz.

#

The way i came to this conclusion is because in a forum post a while ago. people had a simlar issue whenever they used anything above 120hz

#

atfer trying it myself the issue is solved

green parcel May 8, 2023, 8:43 AM

#

lol

gloomy kraken May 8, 2023, 12:01 PM

#

🥲 Nvidia just not caring to implement some functionality in their Linux driver, and not letting anyone else do it by keeping closed-source.

green parcel May 8, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

@molten mortar type in ... solved

green parcel May 8, 2023, 6:44 PM

... solved
