AMD GPU not recognised instead it's using Intel GPU

Hey everyone I have a LenovoG50-70 with an Intel Core i5-4210U (CPU), Intel HD Graphics 4400 and an AMD Radeon R5 M230. I'm running Nobara Project which is a simplified version of Fedora Linux. I have no clue as to why or how I can use the AMD GPU as to the Intel GPU. I'm trying to run Halo which is compatible. The error logs are as shown: Halo (Log)

Wine Command: /home/havsav/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/tools/proton/Proton-GE-latest/proton run /run/user/1000/doc/68815b69/halo.exe

This is the real error here; you have to give Heroic permissions to access the directory this game is in, otherwise it (the game) won't be able to see any of its files other than the main executable

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

Thanks, do you know how to give heroic permission?

CommandMC•3y ago

Flatseal (https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) is probably the easiest option

Thanks alot 🙂

CommandMC•3y ago

Note that after you've changed the permissions, you'll have to modify your sideloaded game (in Heroic) and point it to the executable again. If you don't, it'll keep this temporary path

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

Yea I'll tinker around a bit But also do you know how to actually change primary gpu? I can run a few games but I would prefer if I can run everything I have

CommandMC•3y ago

You are most likely already using your AMD GPU. DXVK defaults to using it instead of your iGPU You can add PROTON_LOG=1 to the game's environment variables, start the game, open the log found in ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/ and look for lines starting with info: to confirm

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

Thanks! Let me give it a try and get back to you

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

Actually it depends on if Nobara does this by default or not

Best way to check that is inxi -SMGxx

CommandMC•3y ago

I mean, it's GE's distro, I'd assume he would choose sensible defaults

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

amdgpu dc on those older gpu's doesn't have vga out support so maybe he still decided to stick defaults but maybe not

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

Carry on, you're on amdgpu kernel driver. Yep, Nobara has good defaults it seems

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

Yea probably

CommandMC•3y ago

Wayland by default on dual-GPU systems? That's brave

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

Actually it is not that bad; i used Wayland for a while on my Optimus as well Most things were working fine About your gpu select issue, you can try this with DXVK games. https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk#device-filter

CommandMC•3y ago

Oh it absolutely can work, I have a test system with a Nvidia dGPU running Wayland as well I just know how much of a pain those systems can be, so choosing a default that really works for everyone would've been my course of action

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

Ye, in that sense it is a bad choice

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

I'll try Thanks to everyone for all the help Cheers Hey I'm not understanding how to use DXVK I installed it from the github but idk what it does and how to use it If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated thanks

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

On Heroic and Lutris you don't need to manually install it. They both ship it and has enabling/disabling toggles. Same goes for Proton as well, DXVK enabled by default, turning it off can be done with an env variable. DXVK_HUD=1 is an env var you can use with the games to see if dxvk is working.

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

i have the latest version of proton

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

i just dont know how to enable it/configure it to use the amd gpu

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

like this?

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

No DXVK_HUD is variable itself Value is 1 But that variable itself is not for using dgpu Just run it with DXVK_HUD variable and if it says intel then do this. https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1106536748403675157/1106561307861327912

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

like this?

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

im only seeing the fps

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

Then do this. DXVK_HUD=full

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

nvm its working i guess

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

Yes, it does

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

will it work like that for all games?

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

To be clear, what you have wrote in there is a DXVK (DXVK_HUD) env variable and it only shows info to you. It will work with all dx9-10-11 games and hud variable doesn't affect any kind of gpu choosing.

tame-yellow•3y ago

works great for me

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

yes but it should be the amd gpu used for all games right?

tame-yellow•3y ago

if dxvk is on (it is by default on proton) yes if dxvk is on

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

alright then thanks

tame-yellow•3y ago

👍

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

Not all games. If a game is OpenGL ( for example like ETS2 or Amnesia games) it will render on first gpu it sees. So you will need to use DRI_PRIME=1 env variable. On steam you need to add %command% So for steam DRI_PRIME=1 %command%

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

So the variable is DRI_PRIME and the value is 1 right?

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

Yes

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

is halo opengl?

metropolitan-bronze•3y ago

correct-apricotOP•3y ago

alright thanks halo isnt launching?
