nvidia-settings doesn't work as intended on wayland

[merajmasuk]

Expected Behavior

The extension should work as it works on X11. Currently on X11 it displays GPU Utilization in percents, Temperature in Celsius, GPU memory usage in percents, fan speed and GPU wattage.

Current Behavior

When selected nvidia-settings as a properties provider, following notification appears:

Execution of nvidia-settings -q GPUUtilization -q [GPU]/GPUCoreTemp -q UsedDedicatedGPUMemory -q TotalDedicatedGPUMemory -q GPUCurrentFanSpeed -t failed:: ERROR: Error resolving target specification '' (No targets match target specification), specified in query 'GPUUtilization'

Failure Information

The failure is likely related to nvidia-settings support for Wayland, not a bug of the gnome extension itself. As trying to execute the query via cli works on X11 but not on Wayland.

nvidia-settings -q GPUUtilization -t

ERROR: Error resolving target specification '' (No targets match target specification), specified in query 'GPUUtilization'.

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

1. Enable Wayland: sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
2. Change to true WaylandEnable=true
3. Log out
4. Before logging back in, select Pop with Wayland.

Context

• Nvidia-Settings Version: 510.47.03
• Nvidia-smi version (N/A): 525.105.17
• Operating System: Pop OS 22.04 LTS

This isn't something we can fix currently - see the issue in the nvidia-settings repository
