Hi,

I do some config in nvidia-settings and save my settings to my user folder. I reboot, my laptop forgot all my settings, then I run command: nvidia-settings -l, all my settings in the configuration file under my home folder take effect.

So I hope that this command, nvidia-settings -l, to be executed when the system boot.

I have tried xinitrc, /etc/init.d/rc5.d, auto-run desktop file set by teaks. All failed.

Thanks

Hi
Then add that command to the file in your home folder called .profile (notice the period . is first) this will be used at user login.

Hi,

Not work. For .profile, is #!/bin/bash necessary? Is execute permission necessary?

Do you mean that the .profile file is under /home or /home/my_name ?

Thanks

Hi
It’s in your username directory, /home/my_name, it’s there by default… it should just run it no need for the whole shebang.

As a test I added the following to my ~/.profile;


export FAN_SPEED="65"

nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1 -a [fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeed=${FAN_SPEED} > /dev/null 2>&1

Fan speed is set to 65% on login… all works fine here on the GNOME DE…

Hi,

On my side, it still does not work. Could you try on command nvidia-settings -l after you do some settings and save the settings in nvidia-settings.

Thank

Hi,

On my side, it still does not work. Could you try on command
nvidia-settings -l after you do some settings and save the settings in
nvidia-settings.

Hi
What card/driver [version] are you using?

What are you changing via nvidia-settings, are these changes
propagated into the ~/.nvidia-settings-rc file?

My card is GTX1070, the driver is installed by Yast.

I did save my config on card to ~/.nvidia-settings-rc file, I opened the file and I find the changes were propagated.

You can try it by changing the brightness.

Thanks

I adjusted the brightness of card, then saved the configuration. I edited the configuration file on value of brightness, then run command nvidia-settings -l, I could see the change of brightness on screen.

Thanks

Hi
No brightness control here…controlled by the screen itself…

So what is the brightness line in your ~/.nvidia-settings-rc look like?

You may need to add a line like I do for the GPU fan…

You can open nvidia-settings, at left pane, click DP-0 under GPU-0, then at right pane, click Color Correction tab. Then you will see the brightness slide bar

Hi
Seems like a timing issue, I setup a script with a delay of 20 seconds to run nvidia-settings -l and this works, set the time to 10 seconds I see the change, but it resets back to default desktop.
