What system, driver, their version ? Bumblebee version ?

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

toshiba qosmio x770, Geforce GTX 560M, nvidia driver 304.22 beta (with 295.40 didn't work too), bumblebee 3.0.1

ArchangeGabriel commented 12 years ago

Arch or Ubuntu (or else) ?

Could you paste the result of following commands : sudo modprobe bbswitch sudo modprobe nvidia_current sudo modprobe nvidia Also, could you give the content of /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf ?

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

ubuntu 12.04 btw kernel is 3.5

from "sudo modprobe bbswitch":

FATAL: Module bbswitch not found.

from "sudo modprobe nvidia_current":

FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found.

from "sudo modprobe nvidia":

FATAL: Module nvidia not found.

I'm a newbie in ubuntu, I started using it last week, and I really want this to work. Thanks :)

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

bumblebee.conf:

(Removed by ArchangeGabriel, it was the default one, so nothing interesting here)

ArchangeGabriel commented 12 years ago

Ok, so I guess you're using xorg-edgers ?

Please do the following : sudo apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch-dkms nvidia-current Copy the output by the way.

Then : sudo gedit /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Change Driver= by Driver=nvidia and KernelDriver=nvidia-current by KernelDriver=nvidia.

After that, reboot and try again optirun.

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

I guess, I'm not sure...

I tried "optirun glxgears" and now it has another error:

[ 77.087504] [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect. [ 77.087531] [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?

ArchangeGabriel commented 12 years ago

Hum, ok so change back Driver=nvidia to Driver= and KernelDriver=nvidia-current to KernelDriver=nvidia. And please copy the output of : sudo apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch-dkms nvidia-current

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

Yes sure, I forgot before, sorry.. And by the way, it's in portuguese, so sorry about that:

ArchangeGabriel commented 12 years ago

Ok, same issue than #216, could you please ppa-purge Up-Ubuntu repos and try again on stock kernel.

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

how can I do that? I'm sorry, trying really hard to learn

ArchangeGabriel commented 12 years ago

Can you give me the content of : /etc/apt/sources.list

Ok, then do the followings : sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo apt-get purge bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia bbswitch-dkms nvidia-current sudo ppa-purge ppa:upubuntu-com/nvidia-unstable sudo ppa-purge ppa:upubuntu-com/kernel-amd64 Please make sure that the 3.5 kernel is completely and properly removed and that you're booting on the stock 3.2 one.

Reboot and verify that your system works, then do the following : sudo apt-get install bumblebee

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

well it actually worked with kernel 3.2.0-27 and nvidia driver 295.40

is there a way to update kernel back to 3.5 and bumblebee still working?

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

Thank you :D

ArchangeGabriel commented 12 years ago

Why do you need Kernel 3.5 urgently ? If you really want it, better use ubuntu team ones, which you could install this way :

mkdir kernel3.5.0 && cd kernel3.5.0
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/linux-headers-3.5.0-030500_3.5.0-030500.201207211835_all.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/linux-headers-3.5.0-030500-generic_3.5.0-030500.201207211835_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/linux-image-3.5.0-030500-generic_3.5.0-030500.201207211835_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/linux-image-extra-3.5.0-030500-generic_3.5.0-030500.201207211835_amd64.deb 
sudo dpkg -i *.deb 
cd ..
rm -r kernel3.5.0

But if it's just to run the latest kernel, it's not advised, it has just been published last weeks, and is recommended only for developers and advanced users.

Metalhead666 commented 12 years ago

I noted kernel 3.5 faster than 3.2 in my laptop, and I love speed :)

Thanks, for everything :D

ArchangeGabriel commented 12 years ago

That's normal, and I'm personnaly using bleeding edge packages because I like to have the latest up-to-date things. But when you live this way, you can't come and complain that things don't work.

Closing since everything is fine now.
