Hi. My system doesn’t boot with nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter. With nvidia-drm.modeset=0 system boot normally, but my external monitor doesn’t worked on wayland session

Hm you have there a pending reload after a full system update. Did you try to reboot, or turn off and on your device?

Regards,
S.

Yes, i do. The problem appeared a long time ago, but I loaded with the parameter value 0. Now it has become most relevant due to the fact that the session is loaded into Wayland after the update. I can of course change it to X11, but maybe that’s not the whole problem.

use nvidia_drm.modeset dont use -

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Early_loading

For basic functionality, just adding the kernel parameter should suffice. If you want to ensure it is loaded at the earliest possible occasion, or are noticing startup issues (such as the nvidia kernel module being loaded after the display manager) you can add nvidia, nvidia_modeset, nvidia_uvm and nvidia_drm to the initramfs.

Try loading the Nvidia modules early to see if it makes any difference. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dracut#Early_kernel_module_loading

Setup a dracut config:

sudo micro /etc/dracut.conf.d/early_nvidia.conf

Add the modules to the config with the “force_drivers+=” option:

force_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm "

:point_up: Be sure to include those “padding” spaces between the quotes.

Save and exit the file, then regenerate the initramfs.

sudo dracut-rebuild

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#DRM_kernel_mode_setting

Additionally, with the driver version 545 and above, you can also set the experimental fbdev=1 parameter, which is required to tell the NVIDIA driver to provide its own framebuffer device instead of relying on efifb or vesafb, which do not work under simpledrm.

It looks like you could try the fbdev=1 kernel parameter as well if you want to. I’m not sure if it will help or not, but if you are stuck maybe it’s worth a shot. Just stick it right after the modeset one:

... nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1

Then regenerate the Grub config.

sudo update-grub

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn’t work

Maybe this post will be helpful:

If not, try adding more specific information about what is happening so people can get a better sense of what the problem is.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t works too.
Step for reproduse:

  1. Set nvidia_drm.modeset=1 by Garuda Boot Options Assistant (or manual edit kernel params)
  2. Try to reboot
  3. Stuck on boot. Last message that i get is “Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen…”

I also tried to see kernel boot logs and saw error: kernel: [drm:nv_drm_atomic_commit [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Flip event timeout on head 0

10

This has come up a few times, for example here: ERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Flip event timeout on head 0

Try the fix they recommended in that thread:

it doesn’t works too. i had following logs about nvidia:
