update to latest version but Bumblee X server fails (alienware R3) #549

Closed bigbike closed 13 years ago

bigbike commented 13 years ago

I updated the system to the latest bumblee version via update manager. when running optirun glxgears It just gave me:

simply running glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Try to fix it using the configuration on internet ( I submitted a couple days ago) but failed.

Manally config it, failed again.

My computer: Alienware R3: intel i7 2617m + NV GT 540m 2G

I will generate a bug report and email you. Thanks.

Please post the output of dpkg -l bumblebee nvidia-current.

Before running optirun, start Bumblebee manually with:

sudo /etc/init.d/bumblebee enable

this is an temporary issue and will be fixed soon

hanks for your quick reply, I ran the command and it gave me:

Until there is a bumblebee update available, please fix optirun manually:

wget https://github.com/Lekensteyn/bumblebee/raw/5b02bf2b51786622d42b26a6df9caeb02a90d352/install-files/optirun.ubuntu -O - | sudo tee /usr/bin/optirun > /dev/null

As for the glxgears issue, what is the output of:

ls -l /usr/lib/xorg /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/ /usr/lib/xorg/x11-extra-modules/ /etc/alternatives/*gl_conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*GL.conf /etc/alternatives/*xorg_extra_modules

When trying to fix the optirun problem, It said:

Thanks a lot, Lekensteyn! The optirun works now. However simply trying to run glxgears still fails:

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Could you try https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/issues/493#issuecomment-1662510

bigbike commented 13 years ago

Thanks ArchangeGabriel, I will give a try later. Currently I can run my graphics program via optirun. That is the most important thing. I am hoping all the problems may be fixed by next release of bumblebee. Thanks you guys' help!
