I haven’t used any kde linux but I have tried Linux mint and Fedora. They work perfectly but they’re not for me
As I mentioned above, I haven’t used Linux much before. If there is a debugging tool to help you I can post the results to help you. Just let my problem be solved
That’s a good point, Linux Mint and Fedora are not archbased. You can test Kubuntu and see if KDE runs without problems. It’s possible that it’s a KDE/nVidia issue, try a live iso with garuda-gnome
.
We are human debuggers so post your Xorg.0.log
like I wrote in the last post.
A quick search reveals many issues with that particular GPU under Linux, including Debian. But it’s difficult to know whether this is more than other NVIDIA cards…
Try disabling Flipping.
Here my logs:
- Link: Pastebin.com - Locked Paste
- Pass: DYDw60ZE6d
Use a X11 session to have X11 settings there
Ok, I changed the settings and will check if it happens again, but I noticed that the X11 session is extremely laggy at the moment, even if my problem is solved, I don’t think I can use it this way. What should I do to solve this
Sounds like you have a flipping issue if it only works with it being off.
Lets try this if you want flipping back on and try to get things working properly:
First try this fix at the start of this thread:
*ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Flip event timeout on head 0
if that doesn’t fix it itself try this along with it:
Add nvidia-drm.modeset=1
in your kernel parameters. (You should be really doing this if you want to be in Wayland anyways) . You can change kernel parameters in the Garuda Boot Options program. (make sure to apply and reboot).
Xorg.0.log
is clean.
Do you need anything else?
No. FGD
has a good tip and Kayo
has the right suggestion. Have you tried this?
I’m currently using X11 on the recommended nvidia settings, the error is the taskbar freezing at random times so I need to use it a bit
Thanks for the catch. I somehow missed that post. most likely the nvidia-drm.modeset=1
kernel parameter would be the fix then for trying to have things working right with flipping back on.
How do I adjust this? By the way, after your suggestion, the black squares following my cursor that I mentioned in my file system are gone and my taskbar has not been broken for a long time.
adjust what? which suggestion? Try to be more clear.
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
the one you tried, or the one you need more help with?
I followed FGD’s suggestion and made the video card driver setting he told me to do in x11. My taskbar hasn’t frozen in a long time and the display error on my file system is gone. I’m asking you how to set the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 value you mentioned.
Ok. Try putting that flipping option back on and follow these steps:
Go to Garuda Boot Options like I said (its a program).
Enter in your sudo password to get access to it.
There is a text field for “Kernel Parameters”. After putting a space after the last parameter listed, enter in the parameter I gave you nvidia-drm.modeset=1
After that, hit Apply. Then you can close it out and reboot.
