I have the exact same error after a fresh install yesterday! All packages are up-to-date. I did everything as always. Gnome + gdm.
Kernel: 5.7.2-arch1-1
nvidia: nvidia 440.82-21 nvidia-lts 1:440.82-21 nvidia-utils 440.82-2
intel: xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+908+g7181c5a4-1
The only thing that is different is /var/log/optimus-manager/daemon
I had the same problem. Fixed it in this order:
DE-Gnome/Kernel 5.15 Manjaro
No, it does not show anything.
And thanks to @Jerrs for mentioning the workaround for this problem!
EDIT: These (console_script) files also using
distribution('optimus-manager==1.3')
instead ofdistribution('optimus-manager')
:Hi. I have the exact problem like @KennFatt and I am also on archlinux.
I perform clean installation from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/optimus-manager-git and still nothing. But I have looked into code of /usr/bin/optimus-manager and I am not expert in python (I have written 20 short scripts and I was very happy 😄) so don’t take it as silly question.
Why is there
distribution('optimus-manager==1.3').entry_points
?If I delete
==1.3
optimus-manager works like magic.Whole script of /usr/bin/optimus-manager here:
And version is 1.3:
