I have no programs that start with “nvidia” present on my system (still on nvidia-open)
No difference that I can tell. GPU sensors still don’t return values above 0 and no nvidia-settings.
No change.
services.xserver.videoDrivers = ["nvidia"];
still return the error from the start of this thread. I do want to stay on the nvidia-open drivers though due to Wayland being functional for once
I was able to reproduce this. It’s the fault of nvidia-open. If it’s enabled, all nvidia-* commands are removed.
I suggest using:
hardware.nvidia = {
package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.mkDriver {
version = "555.58.02";
sha256_64bit = "sha256-xctt4TPRlOJ6r5S54h5W6PT6/3Zy2R4ASNFPu8TSHKM=";
sha256_aarch64 = "sha256-wb20isMrRg8PeQBU96lWJzBMkjfySAUaqt4EgZnhyF8=";
openSha256 = "sha256-8hyRiGB+m2hL3c9MDA/Pon+Xl6E788MZ50WrrAGUVuY=";
settingsSha256 = "sha256-ZpuVZybW6CFN/gz9rx+UJvQ715FZnAOYfHn5jt5Z2C8=";
persistencedSha256 = "sha256-a1D7ZZmcKFWfPjjH1REqPM5j/YLWKnbkP9qfRyIyxAw=";
};
};
with
services.xserver.videoDrivers = ["nvidia"];
With either zen or xanmod_latest kernels.

Yeah, that worked but no more Wayland support… Though Wayland on nvidia-open did create problems with some games but it’s still unfortunate.
I’m pretty sure this does support Wayland as it’s working for me on Gnome. What issues are you having, exactly? and what DE are you using?
Also, I tested now using:
services.xserver.videoDrivers = ["nvidia"];
hardware.nvidia.open = true;
And it did not remove the nvidia-* commands.

KDE Plasma 6.0.5
Windows that I have autostarting, start. DE is not present. Resolution isn’t right.
Doesn’t help in my case. Adding hardware.nvidia.open = true; still yields aforementioned problem when running KDE in Wayland. Only time that KDE ran in Wayland was with nvidia-open driver.
With the non-open drivers, try these suggestion from this post:
hardware.nvidia.powerManagement.enable = true;
boot.initrd.kernelModules = [ "nvidia" "nvidia_drm" "nvidia_uvm" "nvidia_modeset" ];
Note: Config-wise, it’s enough to just add the above and rebuild, but you might also need to do this before you reboot:
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service nvidia-hibernate.service
Don’t know if this can fix your problems with KDE, but it’s worth trying.
Can you share your full config? Wayland, nvidia-settings, 6.10 kernel support all should be working on 555.58.02 - I’m running that kernel/driver version too.
The fact that nvidia-settings is missing is very suspicious - the config is dead simple, the only way this doesn’t work is if you never evaluate the nvidia module or explicitly disable it. Since you clearly didn’t do the latter, there’s probably something seriously wrong with your config.
From this line, if services.xserver.videoDrivers does not contain "nvidia", then nvidiaEnabled evaluates to false, thus nvidia_x11 evaluates to null. That’s why nvidia_x11.settings is not installed in the line you referenced.
If this is the case, maybe this will work?
services.xserver.videoDrivers = [
"nvidia"
"nvidia-open"
];

More specifically, the whole nvidia config is disabled.
That said, does nvidia-open in videoDrivers even do anything? Grepping for that string in nixpkgs results in no relevant results. AIUI, the way to enable the open drivers is hardware.nvidia.open, and we’re just dreaming up a new videoDrivers string that doesn’t exist for some reason. Without hardware.nvidia.open you’re missing some important settings anyway, so broken graphics is kinda expected.

You’re right, "nvidia-open" doesn’t seem to be a thing, in which case, nouveau could have been used instead of the open Nvidia drivers since the latter’s config was disabled and that’s why there were no problems with Plasma 6 and Wayland.
sure lol, I don’t have it on github yet bc I’m lazy `:P

I can’t wrap my head around that file
I was previously getting some problems with version 550, after a bit of digging in forums I found that 550 drivers were causing the random kernel panicks that I was having for some time, switching to open kernels fixed it for the time being but then I got this problem today when I tried rebuilding, thanks to you its fixed now, cheers!

Appreciate the sentiment, hopefully amd/intel release a less humongous/power hungry model at some point… 
Modesetting is mandatory for wayland.
The powermanagement setting is required to support sleep.
Otherwise this looks correct. For the record, what is the exact set of problems (including whether nvidia-settings works) you get after a nixos-rebuild boot --use-remote-sudo && systemctl reboot with:
# fuck nvidia
services.xserver.videoDrivers = ["nvidia"];
hardware.nvidia = {
open = true;
nvidiaSettings = true;
modesetting.enable = true;
powerManagement.enable = true;
package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.mkDriver {
version = "555.58.02";
sha256_64bit = "sha256-xctt4TPRlOJ6r5S54h5W6PT6/3Zy2R4ASNFPu8TSHKM=";
sha256_aarch64 = "sha256-wb20isMrRg8PeQBU96lWJzBMkjfySAUaqt4EgZnhyF8=";
openSha256 = "sha256-8hyRiGB+m2hL3c9MDA/Pon+Xl6E788MZ50WrrAGUVuY=";
settingsSha256 = "sha256-ZpuVZybW6CFN/gz9rx+UJvQ715FZnAOYfHn5jt5Z2C8=";
persistencedSha256 = "sha256-a1D7ZZmcKFWfPjjH1REqPM5j/YLWKnbkP9qfRyIyxAw=";
};
};
I also force the GBM backend and the GLX library, but I think that’s working around old wlroots bugs:
# Required to run the correct GBM backend for nvidia GPUs on wayland
GBM_BACKEND = "nvidia-drm";
# Apparently, without this nouveau may attempt to be used instead
# (despite it being blacklisted)
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME = "nvidia";
And finally I set the "nvidia-drm.fbdev=1" kernel arg to work around this bug, but that should have been fixed in the driver/kernel by now.
I don’t seem to set services.xserver.videoDrivers at all in my config, as a side note, I don’t understand how that works… My config checks if it’s in that list to switch the sway flag, though, and that’s definitely working, so I guess it ends up in there by default somehow. Either way, that setting should not be harmful.
Hey, you wanted to see it. I write with intent of only my eyes seeing it.
It’s no longer commented out.
My PC never sleeps, it’s my slave and works 24/7 mining XMR to support the network. I will add it though in case I eventually want it to have a breather.
Hope you don’t mind me skipping this part
Let’s give it a try.
Here it is:
# fuck nvidia
services.xserver.videoDrivers = ["nvidia"];
hardware.nvidia = {
open = true;
nvidiaSettings = true;
modesetting.enable = true;
powerManagement.enable = true;
};
hardware.nvidia = {
package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.mkDriver {
version = "555.58.02";
sha256_64bit = "sha256-xctt4TPRlOJ6r5S54h5W6PT6/3Zy2R4ASNFPu8TSHKM=";
sha256_aarch64 = "sha256-wb20isMrRg8PeQBU96lWJzBMkjfySAUaqt4EgZnhyF8=";
openSha256 = "sha256-8hyRiGB+m2hL3c9MDA/Pon+Xl6E788MZ50WrrAGUVuY=";
settingsSha256 = "sha256-ZpuVZybW6CFN/gz9rx+UJvQ715FZnAOYfHn5jt5Z2C8=";
persistencedSha256 = "sha256-a1D7ZZmcKFWfPjjH1REqPM5j/YLWKnbkP9qfRyIyxAw=";
};
};
I’ll give it a shot with this config.
Well my resolution while using Wayland is now proper but Plasma left to get milk and cigarettes. I can’t make a screenshot but basically
this again. I’ll make a pic from my phone and send it in a moment
Have you tried this?
