Why does my GPU not appear in Task managers

Issues & Assistance
1

First: Please stop closing my questions before i can answer. Thanks.
Then for SGS that wasnt a question why my gpu doesnt work instead it was a question why Taskmanagers do not show the GPU. But after your “answer” i think now that it is a problem at my end. I thought Task managers cannot show GPU usage.
For anyone who asks, this is my previous question:

I use for example Stacer. Here my Inxi -Faz like asked by SGS

Maybe there is a tool like for Nvidia?

And again.

Hello.

Post your terminal/konsole in- and output as text (no pictures) from:

inxi -Faz

Without it, you will not receive any help from the Garuda team or your topic is likely to be closed without notice.

Before you open a new help request, read relevant sections of the Arch and Garuda wiki.
Thoroughly search your issue and any error messages in the forum and on the web.

Report everything you have already attempted to solve your problem.

I dont know that Nvidea Tool and if i would know a AMD version, i would not ask this question.

And then i apparently had luck with my previous questions, all my questions except one where without inxi -Faz

Yes.

It was a hint that you might look for it yourself.

They shouldn’t have been answered. It is required. There is important information contained in that data that helpers need to assist you.

As to your question read here:

AMDGPU - ArchWiki (archlinux.org)

Pay attention to the section on monitoring.

@elloquin is quite correct, in many cases it is impossible to help a user with a technical problem without them providing their system specs. That is why our forum requires an inxi -Faz on any technical help request.

If you refuse to provide the information our forum requires, your post is likely to be locked (as specified in the Garuda help request template).

Perhaps your own inability to follow the forums posting guidelines is contributing to you having your threads locked??? Your snark filled remarks towards those providing assistance on the forum is also likely to predispose moderators towards binning your threads.

"It is impossible to help a user with technical problems without them providing their system specs"
Well, my first and closed post wasnt really a technical problem post it was a question to why Linux Taskmanagers do not show the GPU. And since even here i only got commands or a specific GPU usage tool (in my case Radeontop) and no taskmanager, my question is still open actually.

And for my rudeness to the one person last time (named anon92996653 (he/she deleted his/her account)) It was a misunderstanding and i already apologized.

But why would you provide you inxi -Faz it,s easy to do ?

Well, since i thought (and still think) that my previous question had nothing to do with me or my specs, i saw no reason to include my inxi -Faz

15

You continue to miss the point. All help requests (which your original question was and still is) require you post that information. Nothing to get triggered about it is just a forum rule.

Personally i find it stupid to include the inxi -Faz into posts that have nothing to do with system specs but okey, in future every post from me, regardless of what the content is will include my inxi -Faz

There is a subtle difference you still don’t seem to be grasping. :hugs:
