So is it hanging when initializing the nVidia GPU? Can you show dmesg
and obtain a gdb backtrace from secondary Xorg?
Here is my dmesg
output.
As for gdb backtrace from secondary Xorg, I don't know how to obtain that, can you point me to some related guides? Thanks.
Never mind the backtrace, as dmesg indicates you're hitting a driver bug (or a kernel bug). Is it a new install or a regression due to kernel or driver update?
Since the kernel module fails to load you probably should report the problem to NVIDIA.
Sure, I'll try to report this problem to nvidia and see if it helps.
Also, normally nvidia should be blacklisted to avoid loading at boot, which is not the case here. Dunno if that because of the packaging in Gentoo or something you’ve changed.
usually in gentoo you do it yourself, because usually you only install what you actually use: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Nouveau_%26_nvidia-drivers_switching
Maybe this links is actually better: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVidia/nvidia-drivers
Javran, did you have any news on nvidia side since? I’m closing this issue as this is supposed to be an upstream bug, feel free to reopen or comment in any needs.
Thanks for reaching me! I asked on nvidia side once, it's likely a bug in nvidia driver somewhere between 334.16 and 334.21 that had crashed module "nvidia-smi", and the crash log can still be seen using a newer kernel (3.17.4 in my case). But the one I asked wasn't able to narrow it down to the real cause. maybe I'll try for another time.
BTW, occasionally "nvidia-smi" doesn't get crashed during startup, and if that's the case, bumblebee seems to be fine.
my nvidia card seems to take over all the works and
optirun
is waiting forever.When I try to run
optiun -vv
, I get the following message:And after that, it just keeps waiting forever, no significant CPU / memory usage change.
I have no clue about what is going wrong, but here are some files I think might be helpful:
/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
:var/log/Xorg.0.log
:/var/log/Xorg.8.log
:My video cards:
And I don't have a
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
file.
