This is what i got

And you are sure your nvidia driver is actually working? Those warnings rather suggest your second device is indeed a CPU renderer based on llvmpipe.

What happens when you run the opengl helper like so (path may be different on fedora):

DRI_PRIME=0 /usr/lib/libexec/kinfocenter-opengl-helper
DRI_PRIME=1 /usr/lib/libexec/kinfocenter-opengl-helper
DRI_PRIME=2 /usr/lib/libexec/kinfocenter-opengl-helper

Sorry, I didn't really get what you said, but I ran this

   glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics (CML GT2)

Right.

Now run 

DRI_PRIME=0 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
DRI_PRIME=2 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

Why does glx manage to initialize vulkan but Qt not? I am at a loss for words

😅

Paging Neal. Maybe he has an idea what's up with your vulkan stack.

Ultimately the problem is that the vulkan code fails to work at all and so device enumeration runs through opengl and that has problems for some reason too (though arguably we don't need to care because the vulkan code should provide superior enumeration - if it was working).

Oh, btw another thing I have noticed with my laptop is that if only nouveau drivers are installed then other that fastfetch my GPU doesn't show up anywhere like nvtop or even some applications don't even recognise the mx350 only after installing the proprietary drivers it starts to show up. I guess this is unrelated to the issue, but I thought of letting you know anyway.

This seems to work as expected on my system.

Additionally, the helper seems to do the right thing too?

I'm inclined to say this might be something specifically broken with the NVIDIA driver. In the Fedora KDE Matrix room, I was pointed to this issue: https://github.com/NVIDIA/egl-wayland/issues/162

Yes this https://github.com/NVIDIA/egl-wayland/issues/162 might be the issue, I can get those same errors on my system too.

mesa tries to load the nouveau userspace gl driver, even though the nouveau kernel driver is not loaded. 
i asked on the egl-wayland issue for the mesa issue, but i think i found it https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12462

> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12462

Thanks I will be following that👍🏻

@angad could you try installing vulkan-loader-devel, and checking if the issue is resolved?

Well it does get resolved, but how to do know that are you a genius or something??

infocentre

See yourself looks good

usr/lib64/libvulkan.so is only included with that package and qt is trying to load Vulcan through it instead of /usr/lib64/libvulkan.so.1

oh ok btw is this normal?

no idea, probably not, since that`s an devel package, either qt needs to load libvulkan.so.1, or libvulkan.so should be moved to the regular vulkan-loader package

I think ultimately the bug is in qtwayland. I mean, there's something wrong with nvidia too, but the main problem is that the vulkan code doesn't enumerate devices and that seems to be simply because qtwayland doesn't try to load libvulkan.so.1 as first choice.

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/merge_requests/232

I'm also experiencing this bug in the newly released Plasma Desktop 6.3.2, I'll post the 2 versions of kinfo with and without sudo

sudo seems to make it work because it forces kinfocenter to use x11, if you force x11 through some other way it will also "fix" the text

packages for only computing installation

If you use nvidia glx library, I fear  you can't detect the nvidia adapter in this following case : only computing installation.

see the capture

I wonder if a a bug that I reported has the same cause or if the fix for this one will affect it in any way:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500403
Or if there, the fix still need to happen on distros' side.

I apologize, but the problem still applies to me in 6.3.3

Please open a new bug report and post the output of running kinfocenter from a terminal.

So this didn't get fixed after the update 6.3.3 update, although one thing has happened on the nouveau driver it does show GPU:2 now previously it was not even showing the NVIDIA GPU but with proprietary drivers it still shows llvmpipe

I confirm.

Setting back to confirmed since more than one person can reproduce the issue

Is that with comment 18 noted and applied?

(In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #39)
> Is that with comment 18 noted and applied?

no installing vulkan-loader-devel fixes the whole issue, it's without the package installed

It also happens to me:

```

```

But this is the output of `vkcube`:

```
$ vkcube

Selected GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, type: DiscreteGpu
```

In my case using the nvidia adapter only for computing.

now it shows zink Vulkan 1.4 instead of llvmpipe i think this is after the recent mesa update or kde frameworks update that i got on fedora

This got fixed now

I still have this problem on two of my PCs. (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/llvmpipe-is-used-instead-of-gpu/156052)

The first one has an Intel I7 2960XM and Intel HD 3000

Thanks for the detail. I'm sorry to hear this is still happening on these systems.
Can you copy and paste the output of the following two commands from one of the systems into this report? Thanks.

I had a similar problem, and it didn't involve anything with the dedicated GPU.
First, run `kinfocenter` from the terminal.
If the output includes something like:
"GPU count mismatch (from vulkan). Are you maybe missing vulkan drivers? 1 2"
Then (seeing you have an Intel integrated GPU), install `vulkan-intel` and check if the problem persists

Thanks Robi. Indeed, there is "GPU count mismatch" error in kinfocenter. Installing vulkan-intel solved the problem for me (see screen shots attached above). However this still feels a bit odd if I think about it. Even without Vulkan for Intel, Vulkan for NVidia is present. Kinfocenter can detect correct GPU name and shows it in console logs but not in the GUI.

Output of kinfocenter without vulkan-intel:

Physical device 0: 'NVIDIA T600 Laptop GPU' 570.576.0 (api 1.4.303 vendor 0x10DE device 0x1FB6 type 2)
GPU count mismatch (from vulkan). Are you maybe missing vulkan drivers? 1 2

This issue is still present, my nvidia gpu does not show up under gpu 2 but i does show it is correctly installed in the terminal.

I am running Endeavour OS 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ou5WTuAQygdqJ3BTC1IPOpGYz4bkKMIr/view?usp=drive_link

I can confirm vulkan-intel fixed it. Thanks!

The nvidia gpu should be listed as second gpu. To fix this you need to install lib32-vulkan-mesa-layers and lib32-vulkan-intel as well

It looks like the problem is here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/blob/master/kcms/about-distro/src/GPUEntryFactory.cpp#L53

See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qfile.html#platform-specific-issues

On Unix, there are some special system files (e.g. in /proc) for which size() will always return 0, yet you may still be able to read more data from such a file; the data is generated in direct response to you calling read(). In this case, however, you cannot use atEnd() to determine if there is more data to read (since atEnd() will return true for a file that claims to have size 0). Instead, you should either call readAll(), or call read() or readLine() repeatedly until no more data can be read.

So if we rewrite the 'while' loop into something like this, it should work:

QTextStream in(&file);
QString line = in.readLine();
while (!line.isNull()) {
    if (line.startsWith("nvidia"_L1)) {
        return true;
    }
    line = in.readLine();
}

> Oleg, would you like to submit a merge request with that change?

Sure. Can you guide me how to do this for the first time? I have registered an account on invent.kde.org but I don't have permissions to push branches or create merge requests. Shall I just send a patch?

Great!

In a nutshell, you:
1. Check out the git repo with the code
2. Create a local branch with your patch
3. Create fork of the remote repo
4. Push your branch to your remote fork
5. Create a merge request from that branch

I still have this problem with my ATI Radeon HD 4650 (RV730 PRO). It's still showing llvmpipe after the plasma 6.4.5 update. 

It's still showing llvmpipe in the About this system page.

I wonder what you get from running /usr/lib/kinfocenter-opengl-helper ?

The file /usr/lib/kinfocenter-opengl-helper doesn't exist. I'm running Fedora Kinoite so maybe that's why. 

Idk if this is useful but here's the difference between the last version it was working and the next update. 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499882#c45

I've found the program elsewhere 
/usr/libexec/kinfocenter-opengl-helper 
[{"name":"AMD RV730 (DRM 2.50.0 / 6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64, LLVM 20.1.8)","vkDeviceType":0}]

So OpenGL looks good, it correctly detects the GPU. Then llvmpipe must be coming from Vulkan. But your GPU is from 2008, it doesn't even have Vulkan support. I wonder if you have any Vulkan drivers installed (vulkan-radeon, amdvlk or something similar)? Also, can you run vulkaninfo? What is the output from vulkaninfo | grep "GPU id :" ?

I think you're right about llvmpipe coming from Vulkan. I had (and maybe still have) the same problem with an Intel HD 3000 (doesn't support Vulkan either).

Ok, so you have mesa-vulkan-drivers installed without actual hardware support for Vulkan. Therefore mesa reports llvmpipe instead. As a workaround you can remove mesa-vulkan-drivers package, restart and see if it solves the problem. 

The interesting part is that people were thinking of ignoring "llvmpipe" output already. See stripLlvmpipe() method:

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/blob/master/kcms/about-distro/src/GPUEntryFactory.cpp#L177

But I believe this method is skipped in your case because of this 'if':

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/blob/master/kcms/about-distro/src/GPUEntryFactory.cpp#L200

It was designed for a different case, where there are Vulkan-capable GPUs without drivers installed. Your case is the opposite. 

Are you comfortable compiling from source and testing? I believe if you simply remove this 'if' (and keep everything what's inside) it will handle both cases correctly.

I can confirm that removing mesa-vulkan-drivers fixed the issue. I will try to compile kinfocenter without the if to see if it fixed the issue.

I've tried but I can't compile kinfocenter because of some weird permission issues. I think it is related to the fact that I'm using an immutable system :/

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/merge_requests/270

Just dropping by to say that in Fedora 43 + KDE Plasma 6.5.1, the bug of showing llvmpipe on older hardware still persists.

I've had this 'llvmpipe' issue for a while too, possibly since Plasma 6 - currently using 6.5.2 - on an older machine with a Radeon HD 6870 (Barts GPU). The last generation to have no hardware Vulkan support, I believe. I removed mesa-vulkan-drivers and the 'Graphics Processor' listed in KDE Info changed from 'llvmpipe' to 'AMD BARTS', the same string listed as the OpenGL renderer in glxinfo.

However, removing this package means that Vulkan Info fails when looking at the Vulkan section in KDE Info.

Anyone who has older GPU without Vulkan support can you please post the output of the following command (with mesa-vulkan-drivers installed):

vulkaninfo | grep -A1 deviceType
