Nvidia drivers and compiz

robjosie · 12-25-2020, 10:16 PM

critical error can someone tell me how to rectify this error please.

Brains · 12-26-2020, 12:50 AM

Seen this many years ago, for me it was an issue with the version of OpenGL. You'll notice in the screenshot for the "Rendering Backend" you are using OpenGL-2, hit the drop down menu and try OpenGL-3 if it's available.

robjosie · 12-26-2020, 02:29 AM

Thanks Brains for your reply . i found 3.1 Ive now applied it .Screen is now flickering randomly .The screen flicker is every few seconds.any idea of this problem please

Brains · 12-26-2020, 06:27 PM

I have never owned an Nvidia Optimus system. As the first of those last two screenshots suggest you have an Optimus system.
Theoretically, when using compiz the software (Prime/BumbleBee) should switch from the integrated (on chip) graphics to the discrete (Nvidia) graphics for the better 3D rendering. Hopefully someone with an Optimus system can offer some tips, but from my perspective, this is an issue with Prime.

EDIT: It's possible the integrated graphics are better with OpenGL-2 and the discrete graphics are better with OpenGL-3. So when there is no need for the discrete graphics and the operating system is using the integrated graphics which can't handle OpenGL-3.

Just a question please how can i remove compiz and install wayfire,Has anyone tried Wayfire would like to know your thoughts .I am still gathering info.

computersavvy · 12-30-2020, 08:27 PM

Although you are blaming compiz I suspect it is actually related to the graphics card and driver. Please post the output of

Code:

 lspci -vxx | grep -20 VGA

so we can see what GPUs are actually installed and the drivers in use.

Hi there thanks for your reply ,yes im sure the drivers are the problem i was sure i have installed 455 drivers .Not sure if this info is important but i have optimus manager enabled as well .

computersavvy · 12-31-2020, 06:31 PM

Optimus manager? I am not familiar with that, and it certainly is out of place. You have a prime config, not optimus with those 2 GPUs.
I would like to see exactly which nvidia packages are installed.
Please post

Code:

 dnf list installed '*nvidia*'

Also are you running wayland or xorg?. I suspect xorg since the nvidia driver is active.

I had a huge problem today i did 400 updates after reboot the screen went black ,so now im back to sqare 1 lol no optimus manager no COMPIZ i will show what drivers are installed now .Thanks for your help. i have followed the 30 things to do after istalling manjaro and at the end he says to test for errors $ sudo systemctl --failed ....Now i get this error systemd-backlight@backlight:acpi_video0.service loaded failed failed Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:>

This shows the driver is back to the open source nouveau driver.
You said you did a fresh install so you will have to reinstall the nvidia drivers.

Do you have gtk3 installed, or only gtk2?
Have you checked the README as suggested?
I am afraid I cannot be of much more assistance since I don't use manjaro.
