envycontrol: [BUG] nvidia mode not working

Describe the bug Nvidia mode doesn’t work properly (specifically for lightdm in my case)

To Reproduce

  1. fresh install of arch linux with base base-devel linux linux-firmware xorg-server qtile lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
  2. boot into lightdm
  3. Install envycontrol. Run sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
  4. reboot
  5. there will be a black screen with a cursor blinking.
  6. However if you’re on a dual screen setup, the login manager will be there on the secondary display instead of the primary display

Expected behavior There should be a login screen (and if plugged into an extra display it should show up on the primary display)

Screenshots Excluded because pretty self explanatory

System Information:

  • Model: [ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 2022]
  • Distro: [Arch Linux]
  • DE/WM and Display Manager (if applicable): [qtile lightdm]
  • EnvyControl version: [3.3.0]

After switching to another OS for a while (had some university work to do), the issue just randomly fixed itself when I returned today. I’m no longer able to reproduce the bug so I’m going to close this issue.

@D3vil0p3r don’t have nvidia-exec installed. So, I think my issue is completely different.
