Error reading current mode : Cannot run glxinfo : Failed to execute 'glxinfo' : Error: unable to open display
See original GitHub issueHello!
Optimus-manager stopped working for me after a system update recently. The output during tty mode is…
Error reading current mode : Cannot run glxinfo : Failed to execute 'glxinfo' : Error: unable to open display
There is more output too it but piping didn’t catch it. I’ll try to update this asap with that info.
System info OS - Arch Linux Kernel - 4.19.98-1-lts WM - Openbox DM- Lightdm Laptop - Clevo N855HJ Version - Optimus Manager (Client) version 1.2.2

I assume you entered that command in a tty session (the screenshot you posted looks like if you did).
Since
glxinfoneeds an X display, the error would be the supposed behavior if that’s the case. If so, could you pls try again in a terminal emulator inside a graphical session ?E/
optimus-manager --status |& <other_command>does pipe both stdout and stderr of the first command into the second one, btw 😉Yeah that Python crash has been fixed already (https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager/commit/b4d07c74c6445d794bf8f8928790826cc29b0230), the fix just hasn’t made its way into a release yet.
Use optimus-manager-git for now.
