[SOLVED] troubles with nVidia Optimus

[madjestic]

Hey guys,

After a recent update, about a week ago, I can not run nvidia any more (primusrun, optirun, nvidia-xrun). Here's what I tried so far:
- recompiling the kernel and recompiling nvidia-driver
- getting latest linux-firmware, recompiling the kernel and the nvidia-drivers
- reinstalling xorg, following gentoo guide
- reinstallng bumblebee, following gentoo guide

Nothing seems to have worked. X11/startx seems to be ok, I can run my normal system on the integrated Intel graphics, but not the dedicated nvidia graphics:

Code: Select all

$ optirun glxgears
[ 3651.492014] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) 

[ 3651.492067] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

after I do:

Code: Select all

 # bumblebeed start
[  255.190355] [INFO]bumblebeed 3.2.1-59-g7aa457f started

and then run again "$ optirun glxgears", I get the following error in the terminal where I ran "bumblebeed start":

What's the problem, what am I doing wrong, why can I not run nvidia?

Thanks,
Vlad

It has been about a month since I have played any games so I hadn't noticed this.

I will be doing some digging later to try and find out what is wrong, but I can confirm that I get the same errors as you, and I use both bumblebee and nvidia-xrun.

I am leaving work, so I can't post my logs / info right now -- but I will ASAP just so we have something for comparison. Looking at what you have posted though, your setup seems very similar.

Bottom line -- you aren't doing anything wrong, something is broke that was working.

Try emerging nvidia drivers with USE="-compat"

Try emerging nvidia drivers with USE="-compat"
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi ... at-start-/

Thank you very much -- great find. I will post the results as soon as my world emerge finishes.

EDIT:

OK -- tested the rebuild with -compat and that solved it.

I had primus installed, and that had to be removed because it requires compat, but optirun works fine -- and I mainly use nvidia-xrun.

Hey guys,

After trying the suggested workaround, I am getting the following error:

Code: Select all

 $ optirun glxgears
[   68.492514] [ERROR]Accel/display bridge primus is not installed.

- It looks like optirun still requires primus? How did you manage to run it without it?


With nvidia-xrun I am getting the following:

Code: Select all

 $ nvidia-xrun glxgears
/usr/bin/nvidia-xrun: line 34: /etc/default/nvidia-xrun: No such file or directory
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

P.S. runningnak3d, would you mind showing your xorg.conf file, please?

[SOLVED]

Setting bumblebee.conf to:

Code: Select all

Bridge=virtualgl

- fixes the issue.


Thanks!
