NVIDIA Corporation GF108M - HP Pavillion DV4 - Nothing works? #761

Open LordAmit opened 8 years ago

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

Edit: Solution Found - Tweak edition We worked out a solution. In case tl;dr, please check this link: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/761#issuecomment-219561042

Hi,

This is a few years old Optimus enabled graphics card. I was able to use it using bumblebee a few years ago as well, but in later versions of Ubuntu I have never been able to. I have tried setting it up using information from askubuntu, from ubuntu, from the various issues here, from different blogs. Nothing worked. Every single time I tried setting the latest nvidia driver (last attempt - last night 361) and rebooted, the login screen started flickering, pressing Alt + Ctrl + F1 to access terminal didn't work, and I had to get in Ubuntu advanced recovery mode to purge everything and back to square one. Before that, I tried editing bumblebee.conf and xorg.conf.nvidia. I tried making the bumblebee daemon work, but it kept failing at nvidia_uvm, or nvidia, or something else. I am really sorry if all these sound a bit incoherent.

Therefore, please guide me what I need to do. Here is my config: 

lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)

I am using Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS - with GDM3 Display Manager.

Please, let me know if you need any other information. I will provide any information required to solve this.

Thank you in advance.

Did you look at this?

https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/759

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

No, I didn't. Should I follow the instructions from here? https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/759#issuecomment-214837895

i2000s commented 8 years ago

Yeap, worth trying. Good luck! My M1000M is running toward it.

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

here is what I did - 

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-generic
sudo apt install nvidia-361 nvidia-361-updates

I following the steps, while replacing 364 with 361.

I was following the above referenced comment here until I got stuck on this:

sudo update-alternatives --config i386-linux-gnu_egl_conf

gave me this:

* 0            /usr/lib/nvidia-361/alt_ld.so.conf         8604      auto mode
  1            /usr/lib/nvidia-361-prime/alt_ld.so.conf   8603      manual mode
  2            /usr/lib/nvidia-361/alt_ld.so.conf         8604      manual mode

am going for auto. will provide update.

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

Update - even console mode now flickers. Can't even get in console mode.

i2000s commented 8 years ago

Sorry, I may have misled you. Check out this question and answer. The current conclusion is you may not need this out-dated Bumblebee tool at all in recent Ubuntu release.

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

I had to chroot from liveCD (Usb Version :tongue: ) to fix it. Whew! I am checking the link :) A holiday is here today, so I can go for it all day!

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

Nope, didn't work. Monitor stopped getting power after rebooting when I followed all instructions from link.

i2000s commented 8 years ago

Wait, my recent link tells you DON'T USE BUMBLEBEE at all.

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

Yes. I purged bumblebee before going through the steps.

i2000s commented 8 years ago

Then what are you doing over this issue thread? What steps? Post your error code, otherwise no one can help you. Note that the recent kernel may not be compatible with nvidia-361/364 driver which you may want to install. Maybe you can find out which nvidia driver is compatible with your system here.

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

The steps provided by cl-netbox that I found from the link you gave above?

I removed bumblebee only after you gave the link from askubuntu where cl-netbox stated that do NOT install bumblebee.

I checked using the link and it states that I need nvidia 361.42 driver, although it does not state a kernel version.

Lets clear the communication gap here. I am going to follow the steps described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee. Then I am going to run optirun and provide the error messages here. Is that ok?

ArchangeGabriel commented 8 years ago

That’s the third Ubuntu 16.04 threads after #759 and #749…

I think someone on that distro with a bit of knowledge on packaging should take a look at all this. But is there anyone corresponding to that description?

ArchangeGabriel commented 8 years ago

Maybe a bug should be filed at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bumblebee.

bluca commented 8 years ago

Screen flickering or similar problems when using the Intel Xorg drivers are very unlikely to have anything to do with bumblebee - it is most likely an issue with the drivers packaging of Ubuntu. Specifically, with the update-alternatives handling of libglx.so, or with the modprobe aliases (or lack thereof). We fixed these in Debian, but we have no control over what the Ubuntu maintainers do.

@lordamit - Yes please, do post the exact steps you are following in installing bumblebee, and the errors from the journal, that will help a lot

If anything else fails, please file a bug with: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-driver

bluca commented 8 years ago

One thing we need to do in the PPA is to add a Xenial package. I will do that.

@lordamit - make sure /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf has the blacklist lines for your versions of the drivers. The bumblebee version in the Ubuntu archive might be outdated in that regard. EDIT: also, in the update-alternative choice, make sure to choose the MESA provider, not the nvidia ones.

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

Hi @bluca Glad to have you here.

I will provide the exact steps and the outputs from terminal and everything else you require.

How do I provide the errors from the journal? Are those in /var/log/syslog?

bluca commented 8 years ago

the best way is from systemd's journal:

sudo journalctl -b

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

@bluca - I am going for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee instructions for version 14.04 and later - if that is ok.

bluca commented 8 years ago

Yes, but before that - you are on 16.04, right? Do you have xserver-xorg-legacy installed as a package?

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

I have not done anything else after going through this. Should I install nvidia-361-* ? That's the latest available one for from main repositories. I have not added the bumblebee ppa yet - not sure if it got the packages for Xenial.

bluca commented 8 years ago

So due to xserver-xorg-legacy bumblebee will not work as it is in Xenial. I am going to add Xenial packages to the bumblebee PPA, which have the fix for that incompatibility, in a few hours when I get home from work - would you be able to wait until then?

And if you don't mind, please do keep 304 for now, as it has a simpler kernel module situation. It does support your card even if it's really old. Then once that is confirmed to work, we can move on to 361.

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

No problem from my side. As long as I can get access to my graphics card and use it - I don't really care about the nvidia-driver version.

I am certain that it will flickr when I reboot, so I can wait for a few hours. Any estimation for the number of hours required for me to wait? It is 19:45 here in GMT+6 time, and I am available for ... 5 hours or so.

Do I need to change anything in the bumblebee.conf.d or anything else at this stage?

bluca commented 8 years ago

3-4 hours give or take, hoping not too much breaks between now and then :-)

Once you got the bumblebee version from the Xenial PPA, I would suggest we start with the default configuration, and see what needs to be tweaked in the paths.

I thought I should give the journal thing. And a notification to you :tongue:

Sorry, looong day! I've uploaded the new packages to the testing repository, including 16.04 versions. Could you please add it and install bumblebee from it, when you have time?

ppa:bumblebee/testing https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/ubuntu/testing

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

Thank you, going for it now!

bluca commented 8 years ago

Awesome! Note that the repo is still building and publishing, so it might be a few minutes until the packages appear :-) You can see the status here: https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/ubuntu/testing/+packages

After you have installed, try a simple:

optirun -v -v glxgears

If there's any error, please report back what the terminal prints.

I will be offline for ~60 minutes while the build completes.

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

So it seems. The packages appeared in the ppa website - but are not being referred even after I went through add-apt-repository, update and then

LordAmit commented 8 years ago

Okay, got it and installing!

what do I do after installation?

bluca commented 8 years ago

Try:

optirun -v -v glxgears

A window with spinning gears should pop up - else please report what the terminal prints

Just in case you were wondering. I don't think I saw bumblebee daemon running after following the same steps, except installing the latest packages from bumblebee/testing. :smile:

sudo adduser $USER bumblebee

Then log out, and log back in, and try again

LordAmit commented 8 years ago 
sudo adduser $USER bumblebee
The user `amit' is already a member of `bumblebee'.

Logging out. I hope it won't flickr!

Ok, so first of all LD_LIBRARY_PATH is emtpy, that is strange. Also, what is the output of:

sudo journalctl -b -u bumblebeed

and

sudo journalctl -b -k

Looking for anything nvidia related in the second one

bluca commented 8 years ago

Also, what is the content of

bluca commented 8 years ago

and: ls /lib/modules/uname -r/updates/dkms

Nouveau? Have you rebooted since installing the nvidia drivers? If not, you should, to blacklist nouveau

 sudo journalctl -b -k

output is too long for comment, hence this gist: https://gist.github.com/lordamit/48b1fc702180e8d1596a8af25d2509a1

oh. I did mention that I didn't reboot - since I was waiting for you to tell me.

Just in case the screen starts flickering - what should I do?

I am kinda sorta afraid of it >.>

ok, let's check first that libGL is in the right place. What's the outpout of:

ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so

LordAmit commented 8 years ago 
ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 15 01:07 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so -> mesa/libGL.so
bluca commented 8 years ago

That's good, what about:

ls -l /etc/alternatives/i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf

LordAmit commented 8 years ago 
ls -l /etc/alternatives/i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 May 16 19:21 /etc/alternatives/i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf -> /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf

Ok, update-alternatives is all right it seems. Try to reboot, fingers crossed :-)

Ok, could you please upload again sudo journalctl -b -k and sudo journalctl -b -u bumblebeed
