Wayland inopérant sous GNOME geforce gtx 660M apple

Issues & Assistance
1

Hello everyone,
I'm new to garuda, not very young and I like the "Linux" spirit. Without computer training, I have been using linux distributions for a few years. My 27-inch 13.2 Imac has a hard time being satisfied with the drivers offered by default, especially with its Nvidia card. Garuda is, I believe, the one that is best able to meet my needs. I installed ddcutil with pamac to be able to use the "adjust dysplay brightness" (ADB) Gnome extension to not break the rolling release; without ADB, impossible to adjust the brightness of the screen: this is what the ADB logs return to me:

Also, I can't log in with Wayland. Maybe it all comes from the same problem with the driver of my exotic and old card.

Thank you for your help in solving my problem and for this beautiful distribution well suited also for computer dummies.

Bonjour à tous,
je suis nouveau sur garuda, pas tout jeune et j'aime l'esprit "Linux". Sans formation informatique, j'utilise des distributions linux depuis quelques années. Mon Imac 27 pouces 13.2 a bien du mal a être satisfait des drivers proposés par défaut surtout avec sa carte Nvidia.. Garuda est je crois celle qui est la plus à même de répondre à mes besoins. J'ai installé ddcutil avec pamac pour pouvoir utiliser l'extension Gnome "adjust dysplay brightness" (ADB) pour ne pas casser la rolling release ; sans ADB, impossible de régler la luminosité de l'écran : voilà ce que me renvoie les log de ADB :

Par ailleurs, impossible de me loguer avec Wayland. Peut-être que tout cela vient du même soucis du pilote de ma carte exotique et ancienne.

Merci pour votre aide pour résoudre mon problème et pour cette belle distribution bien adaptée aussi pour les nuls en informatique.

Have you tried the LTS kernel? I have the best results with that on old Macs.

yes but not better !

Hi there, welcome to the forum!
As for me, unfortunately I can only pass on some ideas for you to work on.

You could try this solution (read the whole thread, of course):

Try giving a look at the ddcutil upstream github issue list, e.g. (you can change the filter, of course):

The ADB extension GitLab site requires a certain configuration (preparation step 2), just in case…

In general, I often read (but don’t use them) that Nvidia and Wayland still don’t get along very well…

Also, please, one issue per topic.

Thanks again. For adb, I have already done what is suggested by the link you give me. The objective of being able to adjust the brightness is achieved so too bad for the messages that I don't understand :smile: I thought these posts might have helped to understand why Wayland is not working although it is checked in garuda assistant. That's why I sent the ADB logs.
And for Wayland, my real problem, it seems impossible to be able to launch it for 390xx. As Xorg suits me I will not go further.
Thanks again everyone.

Oupppssss

and for this point, I modify, I save and if I restart the same command, nothing is modified. I don't understand why, I do ctl S ctl X...??? :

run sudo systemctl edit gdm and add

* *[Service]* *ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 3* *

If your editor is set to micro, you quit with Ctrl+Q.
