What is the preferred graphics card app for monitoring a graphics card? My system has crashed twice today and it wasnt under any kind of heavy load. Im wondering if it is my graphics card but I really didnt see a GPUZ equivalent for Linux. I threw in an old 1060 to see if it would work but it didnt even post.
nvidia-settings ?
I’m not seeing that in the application menu or discover. Im gussing it is this?
sudo dnf in nvidia nvidia-kmod-open-desktop nvidia-settings
I don’t know if a 1060 will use the nvidia driver. Does it use the legacy driver? What is it using now?
OK, I just checked and it looks like the 1060 does use the nvidia driver., so the command you posted should work fine.
Ok, I just remembered that I didnt update drivers after I reinstalled the OS. It got to be a late night when I had all that trouble. Sorry for the trouble, Im gonna install the drivers and see how it goes.
when I installed the drivers these two things came up.
groupadd: invalid group ID '/usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced'
useradd: invalid user ID '/usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced'
warning: user nvidia-persistenced does not exist - using root
warning: group nvidia-persistenced does not exist - using root
login.defs specifies UID allocation range 101–999 that is different than the built-in defaults (1–999)
login.defs specifies GID allocation range 101–999 that is different than the built-in defaults (1–999)
Anything to worry about here?
Ill try that out, Maybe it will tell me whats going on with Dayz.

Yes, it needs that user and group added.
The driver install from OMWelcome says I am up to date.

How do I go about adding that user and group?
It looks like 950 is clear to use, but I don’t know if you can just manually install the user and group to make this work.

sudo groupadd -g 950 nvidia-persistenced
sudo useradd -u 950 -g 950 nvidia-persistenced
test with
id nvidia-persistenced
I don’t know how to tell the program to use that, unless you reinstall it. Who knows? It may just use it after creating it.
This is what I got doing that
[uriah@openmandriva-x8664 ~]$ sudo groupadd -g 950 nvidia-persistenced
groupadd: group 'nvidia-persistenced' already exists
[uriah@openmandriva-x8664 ~]$ sudo useradd -u 950 -g 950 nvidia-persistenced
useradd: group '950' does not exist
[uriah@openmandriva-x8664 ~]$ ^C
[uriah@openmandriva-x8664 ~]$ id nvidia-persistenced
uid=977(nvidia-persistenced) gid=977(nvidia-persistenced) groups=977(nvidia-persistenced)
[uriah@openmandriva-x8664 ~]$
Looks like it already existed, even though it said it failed to create it. The user is 950 and the group is 977. I don’t know if that will matter. You can go to /etc/group and just edit the number of the group to 950.
I aint touching shit, I just fired up DayZ and played for over 20 minutes with out it crashing.
I just dont get it, everything should be exactly the same as it was 3 days ago but now it works.
