Have been using bumblebee since early 2014 when I got a Lenovo y50-70 with a GTX860m and now I have a Lenovo y520 with a GTX1050. Have always used testing (stretch/buster). Installed bumblebee always in the same manner. NOTE: I have a multiarch system and also play games with steam and wine-staging. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus primus-libs:i386. Never used VirtaulGL as it is not in the official debian repositories bbswitch is imo the best option and probably why it is the Debian and Ubuntu repos. The Nvidia NON-GLVND drivers installed are: bumblebee-nvidia glx-alternative-nvidia libegl-nvidia0:amd64 libegl-nvidia0:i386 libegl1-nvidia:amd64 libegl1-nvidia:i386 libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 libglx-nvidia0:amd64 libglx-nvidia0:i386 libnvidia-compiler:amd64 libnvidia-eglcore:amd64 libnvidia-eglcore:i386 libnvidia-fatbinaryloader:amd64 libnvidia-fatbinaryloader:i386 libnvidia-glcore:amd64 libnvidia-glcore:i386 libnvidia-ml1:amd64 libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler1:amd64 libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler1:i386 nvidia-alternative nvidia-cuda-mps nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-bin nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd:amd64 nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd:i386 nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd-i386:i386 nvidia-installer-cleanup nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-kernel-support nvidia-legacy-check nvidia-modprobe nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-common nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-icd:amd64 nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-icd:i386 nvidia-opencl-common nvidia-opencl-icd:amd64 nvidia-settings nvidia-support nvidia-vdpau-driver:amd64 nvidia-vdpau-driver:i386 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
and these mesa packages: glx-alternative-mesa libegl-mesa0:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libglapi-mesa:amd64 libglapi-mesa:i386 libglu1-mesa:amd64 libglu1-mesa:i386 libglx-mesa0:amd64 libglx-mesa0:i386 mesa-utils
Make sure there is NO /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf I made the following changes: PMMethod=bbswitch LibraryPath=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/nvidia:/usr/lib/nvidia
In /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia you can try uncommenting the line with BusID "PCI:01:00:0", for Debian it should not be needed.
Install linux-headers-amd64 and build-essential if you haven't done so.
If everything is installed properly you can test it with optirun glxgears
Hope this helps
@Roesjka just this morning I have reinstalled all and I have follow the debian bumblebee installation procedure from scratch. And now optirun glxgears
command works.
I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
I have follow your suggestion and I have set PMMethod=bbswitch
in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf. (I was not aware of this option, and prior to your suggestion it was set to auto).
Now I'm trying to understand if there is some option to optimize the fan. After 20-30 minutes of works the fan starts even if the CPU doesn't work. So I'm trying to know if is a GPU o CPU problem.
Do you have configure something about it?
There is a utility special for Dell notebooks, you can try it to see if it works. sudo apt-get install i8kutils Normally I use synaptic and use the terminal to install some specific packages. Started off with slackware in 1995, SuSE 6.0/6.1 in 1999, Ubuntu in 2006 and finally Debian since 2011. Last year I tried Manjaro but that distro is not reliable for gaming, at least not like Debian testing.
Hello, I recently bought a Dell inspiron 15 7000 notebook with Nvidia MX150 and a second intel card:
I'm using debian testing and given the optimus technology I installed Bumblebee and mesa utils (I followed the official debian doc here):
sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus
Running the
glxgears -info
command everything is ok, the window appears with the gears turning. But if instead I launch glxgears with optirun, nothing happens, no errors, and the window with gears does not open:I do not think there are errors .... This is the optirun and bbswitch state:
If I run something randomly with optirun, like Firefox and re run the above commands:
Shell 1:
Shell 2:
it seems that with Firefox (a random thing) launched with optirun Bumblebee is active ...
Can I therefore deduce that it is a glxgears problem that does not appear, but is everything well configured? Or something is wrong?
Can you advise me some tests to do?
Thank you
UPDATE
I have installed virtualgl_2.6_amd64.deb but when I run optirun -vv glxgears I get this errore and the gears doen't appears
Do you have any ideas?
