are you using an nvidia driver?
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
yes
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
are you using hyperland or hyperland-nvidia?
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
i am using hyprland
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
hyperland-nvidia has nvidia specific fixes, try using that instead
i think those drivers are already up to date

have you used the AUR before?
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
not sure

extended-salmonOP•2y ago
is there any video base documentation
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
videos are tough because they can get outdated quickly. what questions do you have while going through this?
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
I get overwhelmed
And start jump reading lines

i see, let me point out some lines to focus on

hi
sorry i didnt get time to try what you told me
but i found that the that the thing is not related to gpu
i desabled m nvidia gpu from bios and now i am on amd integrated gpu and it still shows artifacts

might be an issue with hyprland
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
Which is why I said to install hyprland-nvidia
absent-sapphire•2y ago
they are using AMD integrated graphics tho
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
If it goes away with the nvidia patches, problem solved, it they don't it's probably hyprland
genetic-orange•2y ago
But it still happens when they use amd graphics? So that obviously wouldn't fix it
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
it's an iterative process that i'm suggesting. try to stay on hyprland with the correct patches, then switch off if you have to. i think it's worth a try
genetic-orange•2y ago
But obviously you don't need nvidia patches when running on amd?
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
his dedicated graphics card would, i'm saying try with the dedicated one and the correct version
genetic-orange•2y ago
But the same artifacting shows up on amd only
So that rules that out surely?
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
not necessarily, we don't know that it's the exact same
he only videoed on amd
genetic-orange•2y ago
@Mannat Singh is it the exact same on both amd and nvidia?
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
Yes it is
genetic-orange•2y ago
Okay I'd assume hyprland issue then
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
But I have notice artifacts on amd
genetic-orange•2y ago
Mhm
To answer your original question btw, you can just
sudo pacman -Syu to update nvidia driversextended-salmonOP•2y ago
I have try to communicate with hyprland help server and I haven't got reply
I have tried that
I got a suggestion in hyprland server that I should put my Nvidia gpu on performance mode that will fix it
But also didn't work
I manage to fix
you are right it was amd and hyprland thing
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
wait, do you mean that you switched off of hyprland and now it works?
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
YA
gradual-turquoise•2y ago
Glad it's working!
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
I talk to the custom provider of my hyprland land
There was script thing that was cosing that
We both were first Tring to look AK from green side and after changing our perspective we found the error
