Hey, have you ever run into an issue where the Nvidia driver is installed, and listed as working, but the Nvidia control panel doesn't have any options? The graphics information section is completely blank. I've done a bunch of troubleshooting, and I'm pretty sure that I've completed every single requirement. I even tried a different Nvidia driver in case that was the issue, but with that one it was really clear that it is the wrong driver since it threw a bunch of errors. I'm confident that I'm running the right driver, I have grub set up to load it early, I have all of the modules listed in the intramfs config, I ran Nvidia options config and all the other stuff, but I am still seeing blank options.
If you're on Wayland, nvidia settings doesn't support it. Although I just checked X too and nvidia settings doesn't have an options tab there neither. Is there a separate nvidia control panel than the nvidia x server settings?
Oh! So it's not even supported at all?
I don't see a different UI app for Nvidia options, just X Server Settings. So, if I can't use that, how do I control the more advanced features of my GFX card? Command line only?
I remember searching about setting a fan curve on Wayland and iirc the 'solution' I had found was running the thing on an x server on a different tty. Didn't look into overclocking
Okay, then I guess I'm done. Heh. I just wasted a bunch more time trying to get that GUI working. Time to install steam and try a game!
