Today my Nvidia gpu stopped showing it's stats, always being just at 0% and always at 52C temp.
Any idea what caused this?

#

Nvidia gpu displaying 0%

#

These pics where taken when the gpu was running a 4k 60fps youtube video btw and I know my gpu isn't THAT good

#

And the gpu still works, and there's nothing wrong with my intel gpu

#

Update: the nvidia applet was gone but adding it back says this.

Nothing to update

junior plaza
#

Show us driver manager window

brave citrus
junior plaza
#

and output of

nvidia-smi

when running a game or a video

junior plaza
#

is your browser a flatpak version?

brave citrus
#

Its the firefox that came installed with Mint

#

It used to show stuff on my gpu tho

junior plaza
#

Alright, show us

inxi -SGxxx

brave citrus
rotund verge
#

show us dpkg -l | grep nvidia

brave citrus
#

Maybe something got deleted?

#

2 days ago Cinnamon itself randomly was deleted so some weird stuff happend with my pc

junior plaza
#

What does

prime-select query

say?

brave citrus
#

on demand

#

Which is true, and it still works

junior plaza
#

try switching to nvidia

sudo prime-select nvidia

rotund verge
#

try this sudo apt reinstall nvidia-prime-applet

brave citrus
brave citrus
#

Maybe because it's currently running?

junior plaza
#

sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-prime-applet

rotund verge
#

the nvidia-prime-applet is marked as rc, meaning it's removed but config remains

brave citrus
rotund verge
brave citrus
#

not rc anymore

rotund verge
#

hmm so something worked

#

now reboot

brave citrus
#

oki

#

It now works and doesn't

junior plaza
#

what if you click on err?

brave citrus
#

It opens nvidia settings

#

The 0% also seems to be working again

brave citrus
#

Wtf

#

First Cinnamon and now this

rotund verge
#

wait what it got removed again?

brave citrus
#

No

junior plaza
#

Check autostart apps, maybe you got 2 entries for prime applet

brave citrus
#

It works now, but the fact that it got removed in the first place I didn't do that

#

And it happend twice now in 3 days time

#

Lets see, I recently installed the Synaptic Package Manager, could that maybe be part of the problem?

rotund verge
#

yeah just always have a timeshift before updating or debugging, i prefer to update every weekend (if theres any) thats it

brave citrus
#

But I didn't really do anything deep as far as I know

junior plaza
#

Have you changed nvidia driver versions recently?

brave citrus
#

No
I tried installing grapheneos on my phone though here, but I barely needed to to anything to the pc

#

Thats about the only thing I used the terminal for recently

rotund verge
#

so its working fine now right? any more issues?

brave citrus
#

Well I'll try switching back to on-demand again and see if it works again

rotund verge
#

sure

brave citrus
#

But if you have any tips for the "randomly removing stuff" issue my pc apperantly has...

rotund verge
junior plaza
#

I know when you install something it can remove something else if there are conflicts, but it generally tells you when and what it removes

brave citrus
#

When I switch back to on demand it doesn't work anymore

#

The error is gone, but the % is back to 0 again

rotund verge
#

ooo and one day i was try to setup i3 but guess what after sudo apt autoremove/clean, some or all cinnamon components were removed but then just have to purge uninstall the i3 and reinstall the cinnamon again 😅

rotund verge
brave citrus
#

But it worked just fine a couple of days ago

#

Maybe it's the heat??

#

That or my GPU magically got a MASSIVE upgrade so running anything for it isn't a problem anymore

#

But it also can't be a hardware problem because it does show it in Performance mode...

#

I have no clue anymore

rotund verge
#

neither me

#

can it be a mint bug

brave citrus
#

Then I wouldn't be the only one with it tho

rotund verge
#

so is it solved?

brave citrus
#

Not really, but I don't think we'll get any further

#

Should I put it on abandoned?

rotund verge
#

ur choice

brave citrus
#

BUT WHEN I OPEN TABS SPECIFICLY IT SHOOTS UP TO 100%??????????????????????

#

Man I hate pc's sometimes...
