Having a ton of issues with nvidia on wayland / hyprland. I've gone through the wikis a bunch of times and still having a ton of issues, mostly with that frame buffer stuff (i think)

#

I've been going through the wiki's trying to see if I missed anything, but so far I haven't come up with anything. I'm at a loss... idk what to even look for at this point

Are you using the beta driver?

limber halo Are you using the beta driver?

limber halo Jun 21, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

That's the non-beta one

deep spade Jun 21, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

I thought so, but didn't want to assume incorrectly 🙂

#

Just a guess, but I'm currently trying to figure this part out. I set this, but maybe I missed something somewhere

#

In my opinion, the easiest way to do it is to make a .conf file for nvidia in /etc/modprobe.d/ and include options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1

#

This will also enable modesetting for wayland

#

I have those set currently... unless I've gotten then set wrong or something. Sec and I'll post it

#

Is this wrong?

limber halo Jun 21, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

It's supposed to be a _ and not -, although I'm not sure if that matters

#

Also they can be on the same line

deep spade Jun 21, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

ooh, dang. If that's the issue im going to be so friggin happy. Let me fix that and see if it changes anything

#

Dang, no change

#

Do you have the nvidia modules in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf?

#

If so, make sure you run mkinitcpio -P as root/with sudo

deep spade Jun 21, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

Looks like it? I did do the mkinitcpio -P as well

#

Also the output of these, if that tells us anything

deep spade Jun 21, 2024, 4:54 PM

#

is there anything I need to do after the mkinitcpio -P?

#

Reboot if you haven't

#

You may want to try the beta driver out, which has explicit sync support

deep spade Jun 21, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

Yeah, I've rebooted. Dumb question, but how would I go about specifying the beta version?

limber halo Jun 21, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

You'll need to install it from the AUR

#

It's in the nvidia-beta package (or nvidia-beta-dkms if you're using dkms)

#

Im seeing some discussion around it not fixing issues in hyprland... hopefully that's not the issue? I'll give it a shot though

deep spade Jun 21, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

Doing an update rn. Idk why its taking so long, but I'll update as soon as its done. Thanks for the help btw 🙂

what was the problem, I do have Nvidia problems too and I have no Idea how to fix them. Maybe we got the same issue. Im waiting for the next Nvidia update, hoping that one will be better

full galleon what was the problem, I do have Nvidia problems too and I have no Idea how to fi...

Mostly the frame buffer issue at this point. Electron applications + xwayland apps are completely unusable

#

Like they were jumping around, screen flashing, artifacting, etc

#

I just installed the beta drivers though, and while I literally JUST restarted after the install, I haven't seen the issue yet...

#

@limber halo So far no weird issues.... beta drivers might be the solution 😮

full galleon Jun 21, 2024, 9:44 PM

#

for me, non of them is working 😭

#

Idk, the version b4 worked well, But idk how to revert back + I reinstalled serveral times but nothing changed

deep spade Jun 21, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

Did you check that nvidia.conf file I posted an image of a bit ago?
