Problem with Nvidia Graphic Card and Second Monitor | F40 | Nvidia

[diaalvarezmi (Diego Alvarez)]

Hi guys

I just installed Fedora KDE 40 in my HP laptop, but I am having problems with the Nvidia Card. I already installed the drivers and the RPM fusion free and non-free repositories as suggested in the official documentation, however, the graphics drives is still the one from the intel processor.
This is the information about my laptop:

and this is the result from executing nvidia-smi:

This is how the nvidia x server panel looks like:

I have tried to reboot my laptop while having the 2nd monitor connected but so far I have been unable to use the second monitor.
This is the result from inxi -Fzxx command:

I would appreciate any help that allow me to use the second monitor and set the laptop graphic card as main graphics processor.

[computersavvy (Jeff V)]

I edited your post and added the preformatted text tags on the inxi results so it retains the on-screen formatting. The nvidia-smi output should have also been posted as text the same way.

Those tags are available with the </> button on the toolbar and it is encouraged as much as possible to copy & paste text from the screen using that button to retain formatting and make the text searchable for later readers.

[diaalvarezmi (Diego Alvarez)]

Hi Jeff. Thank you so much for your prompt reply and suggestions. I’ll keep them in mind in future posts. I edited the previous comment and now it is possible to see the results from nvidia-smi command as proper code.

@diaalvarezmi

however, the graphics drives is still the one from the intel processor.

Please post the results of : dnf list installed \*nvidia\* for us.

Note:

• Also keep in mind once we see the driver come up, that there is a switcherooctl in effect to optimize for battery useage, The Nvidia card does not need to be on all the time. Heavy applications can make use of it.

Nvidia drivers on Fedora 40 | Switcherooctl |

So I’m on Gnome, so I do not know the behavior of KDE, but Heavy apps like Blender or Steam, games are already set up to use the dGPU, but Krita is not. Here’s a look. [Screenshot from 2024-06-21 16-01-30] [Screenshot from 2024-06-21 16-01-17] In this example Blender is already set up to use the dGPU, and Krita has the option to do so. You can set this up for applications and games to use the one you would like at launch by editing the .desktop file using switcherooctl or DRI_PRIME=X …

Nvidia Driver installed properly but not used? | Switcherooctl |

Ok, this does tend to happen with some applications. There’s 2/3 ways to enable/force the use of the GPU onto an application. The popular way of using DRI_PRIME=1 %command% for Steam games Other applications can also use this with just DRI_PRIME=1 <APPLICATION NAME> There is the switcherooctl method by utilizing it directly: switcherooctl <application> /path/to-file/ Or the Desktop way: On Gnome Desktop you can right click on the application launcher and choose: [Screens…

• Once we know the driver is loaded properly, we can begin to troubleshoot from there.
• The next steps would be to understand if the Intel driver is loading before the Nvidia driver.

[hamrheadcorvette (hammerhead corvette)]

Things look about right, Is there an application which you know you need the Nvidia driver for?

• Blender
• Inkscape
• Krita
• Steam

If you have such, can you run one of them and test by running nvidia-smi or launch the application like this:

If the application uses the Nvidia driver natively, it will look ike this:

[diaalvarezmi (Diego Alvarez)]

Hi Hammerhead, sorry for my late reply, I installed Krita, opened it and checked the result of nvidia-smi while executing Krita, but there was no difference with the previous result. The only change was the temperature field of the graphics card, slightly higher, at 31C. I checked Krita’s system information for bug reports and this is the result:

It seems like the program is not using the Nvidia Graphics card neither it detects it…

@diaalvarezmi

I installed Krita, opened it and checked the result of nvidia-smi while executing Krita,

Did you right click on it and specify to launch with the discrete GPU ?

Should look like this:

It looks like you are on KDE, I’m not sure what the command is there, but it should be a right click option ?

Ok, It looks like there is no graphic option for that in KDE, but an alternative might be using DRI_PRIME=1 krita command. When executing the command, the terminal looks like this:

[computersavvy (Jeff V)]

It seems to not work with DRI_PRIME= as either 1 or 2 so have you tried with using 0 instead?
Inconsistent value (2) for DRI_PRIME. Should be < 2 (GPU devices count). Using: 1

Hi, thank you for your suggestion. The result is pretty much similar when running DRI_PRIME=0 krita :

I would remove the driver and reinstall at this point. There’s not much more to do really.

• Remove current driver: sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\* --exclude nvidia-gpu-firmware
• Install the new drivers by following the documentation.

[diaalvarezmi (Diego Alvarez)]

Hi, thank you for your reply. I reinstalled the driver following this documentation instructions:
https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA
Also I followed the sub thread on the signing of the akmods keys
https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Secure%20Boot

Now it is possible to see the Wayland process running, however, the wattage on the graphics card reading remains unavailable.
Also, after running DRI_PRIME=0 krita, Krita does not appear on the processes, only Wayland.
When I check onto the details of the system, looks like the processors graphic card is still the main graphics processor

@diaalvarezmi

allow me to use the second monitor and set the laptop graphic card as main graphics processor.

Some laptops are designed to offload intensive graphics operations to the dGPU, but then pass the results to the iGPU for display. Also, many laptops are only tested with Windows. inxi does show 3 ports for the iGPU, including the display (eDP-1) along with DP-1 and HDMI-A-1, while the dGPU has just DP-2 and HDMI-A-2.

• do you dual boot with Windows and if so can you use the dGPU as the “main” graphics processor in Windows?
• is the external monitor connected directly or thru an adapter, docking station, or external USB hub, and what type of connection is used on the monitor (HDMI, DVI, DP, etc.)?
• what graphics ports are provided (note that some laptops use USB3 ports for DisplayPort ) that require a 3rd party package:

Problem with Nvidia Graphic Card and Second Monitor | F40 | Nvidia

Tnat is not going to work as Device 1 is the intel card. See below. Change it to 2

Check once again, The Device number is the number you need to use for DRI_PRIME=

On Gnome we have switcherooctl which basically just works, bbut I believe this is a gnome only things. . .

[computersavvy (Jeff V)]

@diaalvarezmi

however, the wattage on the graphics card reading remains unavailable.

The GTX 1050 does not support differing power levels and only performs at full power 100% of the time. You cannot get that reduced power info.

Note that I have 2 different cards in this system and they report differently as well. (one does not report fan speed)
