Bumblebee not working #815

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

So I've been searching for quite a while now how to solve this problem. Nothing seems to work and it's really frustrating. I have an Acer Aspire E5-575G56Y with an Intel i5-6200U and a NVidia 950M and I'm running Antergos. And I just can't seem to get Bumblebee working. The initial problem was, that I was getting a "GPU driver could not be loaded" error. I tried different things and then it seemed to kinda work, I wasn't getting the error anymore but starting games wouldn't really work and it was very inconsistent, meaning sometimes it would work and sometimes I would still get the "GPU driver not found" error. Now I'm back to getting the error message everytime. Hope someone can help me.

This is what I get, when running the Bumblebee debug, while trying to turn off the nvidia gpu right after a reboot. After that it stops working completely until I restart the laptop.

Isn't this the same than #810?

ghost commented 8 years ago

Yeah that seems to have fixed the not being able to turn it off issue, thanks! :) It still acts weird when I try to run games with it though. Is there a way to check what gpu an application is using?

Some applications show what "GL renderer" they use. If you see something with "Mesa DRI Intel", then it is your iGPU, otherwise it is likely your dGPU.
