Logging out in nvidia mode in KDE + SDDM yields black screen after 1.3 update
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
As the title, logging out while in nvidia
mode in KDE + SDDM will yield a black screen. Ctrl + Alt + Fx works fine when the screen turned black, but attempting to restart SDDM will always yield a black screen.
System info
- Your distribution: Arch Linux
- Your desktop manager: KDE Plasma
- You display manager (SDDM, GDM, LightDM…): SDDM
- The version of optimus-manager you are using: stable release (optimus-manager 1.3 on AUR).
- Your custom optimus-manager configuration file at
/etc/optimus-manager/optimus-manager.conf
:
[intel]
DRI=3
accel=
driver=modesetting
modeset=yes
tearfree=yes
[nvidia]
DPI=
PAT=yes
modeset=yes
options=
[optimus]
auto_logout=no
switching=bbswitch
pci_power_control=no
pci_remove=no
pci_reset=no
startup_mode=auto
startup_auto_battery_mode=intel
startup_auto_extpower_mode=nvidia
Additional information:
I have checked through all of the logs (optimus-manager logs from the folder and from journalctl
, SDDM’s journalctl
’s log, kernel log, Xorg’s log, etc.) and nothing seems to be out of order (SDDM reports that the greeter started normally, optimus-manager didn’t pick up the logout).
However, I have tried the following combinations and all of them worked well:
- Logging out from
intel
mode. - Switching from
intel
tonvidia
and vice versa. - Switching from
intel
tointel
. - Switching from
nvidia
tonvidia
.
EDIT: This is not the case when using version 1.2.2.

@Hyper-KVM was 100% right about the cause, there was an issue with the state logic causing Prime screen offloading to not be set up again after a logout.
Should be fixed in -git now, let me know how that goes.
The reason why this is happening is because the post_xorg_start hook only runs if switching GPUs or after pre_daemon_start hook.
