Can't get Ironhide to install #37

Open mizeraka opened 13 years ago

mizeraka commented 13 years ago

Hi. I have tried to get ironhide working on my Lenovo Y470 with GeForce 550M optimus videocard. I have not been able to get it to work despite multiple attempts over the past few weeks. Once I did get the gears to show up during the installation, but never again.
I am always getting a, " The Ironhide Xserver failed to start." message. I have followed the excellent post by wavded, but never been able to replicate his success. I have never been able to get bumblebee to work either. I think the new bugreport tool reports all my logs, but I'll put them here again just in case. The Xorg log always says: 191.234 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please 191.234 NVIDIA(0): check your system's kernel log for additional error 191.234 NVIDIA(0): messages and refer to Chapter 8: Common Problems in the 191.234 NVIDIA(0): README for additional information. 191.234 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!

the interesting parts of the kernel log say: Aug 31 20:49:49 A kernel: [ 13.530257] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

Also of note is the fact that the ironhide-en/dis ablecard scripts actually seem to work if ironhide itself is not installed yet. With ironhide installed, those scripts don't seem to do anything. I had been getting the "Failed to insert nvidia-current.ko" message if I ran those scripts with ironhide installed, now however I simply get no output.

I'm opening this ticket so I have a place to send my bugreport. Thanks, Andy

Just tried bumblebee again, and got similar errors. The Bumblebee Xserver failed to start, the bumblebee.log says: [ 54.58] Optirun start request received.

and the kernel log shows the same thing as above.

try running the ironhide-settings utility and change "Always enable the nVidia card before disabling" to 0/no... and the reboot

mizeraka commented 13 years ago

OK, I did that... I'm still having problems.

I no longer get that "Failed to insert nvidia-current.ko" error, since I changed the "Always enable the nvidia card before disabling"

I still get "* The Ironhide Xserver failed to start. Please check /var/log/Xorg.8.log ", when I run ironhide-configuration or when I try to run anything under optirun. I don't see the same errors in my kern.log as I did before.

the Xorg.8.log has the same errors as before:

Thanks for helping, do you have any other suggestions, or do you need other info from me?

Please try to update to version -ubuntu35 .. it should be available within the hour.. made a bug...

mizeraka commented 13 years ago

I tried version -ubuntu36, and I am having the same exact problems. Namely, I get failure of the Ironhide Xserver to start. I resubmitted my bugreport attached to this bug number (37).

I was looking over the bug report #2 by wavded and I notice that if I ls -la /dev/nv* I see crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 2011-09-07 23:47 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 2011-09-07 23:47 /dev/nvidiactl

But when I do "sudo ironhide-enablecard", followed by "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/nvidia-current /usr/lib/nvidia-current/bin/nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info", I get NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (Input/output error). WARNING: Unable to use the nvidia-cfg library to query NVIDIA hardware. ERROR: Unable to query GPU information

tail /var/log/syslog yields:

Same here, IdeaPad Y470.

My ironhide-enable/disablecard scripts do work, I see changes in lspci and in battery life. But XServer doesn't start with exactly same errors as above.

P.S. I also was able to run glxgears once in the past :-)

mizeraka commented 13 years ago

Yeah, issue #59 is also a guy with a Y470 trying to get ironhide to work. I wonder if it is something to do with a proprietary version of the GeForce 550M that is installed in the Y470. I would be interested to know what your ironhide-enablecard / -disablecard scripts look like. I am shutting the NVIDIA card off with:

echo _PS3 $(acpi_call "_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._PS3") echo _OFF $(acpi_call "_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF")

and turning it on with:

echo _ON $(acpi_call "_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ON") echo _PS0 $(acpi_call "_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._PS0")

broo2s commented 13 years ago

Just:

echo $(acpi_call "_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF")

and:

echo $(acpi_call "_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ON")

, but I'm a total newbie in the Optimus technology, ironhide, bumblebee, etc. I'm not sure, what I actually did, but seems above command works, because it removes "[VGA controller]" from lspci output and it greatly improves my battery life. What does your second command (PS0/PS3) do?

mizeraka commented 13 years ago

LOL. I have no idea what thosr secondary commands do. I never found any real instructions about acpi_call. I just copied that from the examples... I think they were the ThinkPad examples.

Hi Mizerka,

I just got the same laptop the other day and trying to get this to work. Seeing the same errors as you. Were you able to get this to work?

mizeraka commented 12 years ago

I never got it to work. The best I could do was to get the NVIDIA card to switch off to conserve battery power. I couldn't get bumblebee to work either. Now I am just waiting and dual booting into windows. I still found that Unity works okay. Good Luck, Let me know if you make progress, but don't get too mad at the laptop, because it is a nice laptop other than the poor Linux support for Optimus. mizeraka

Thanks.

Its so sad that this does not work. I was looking forward to working on linux with the laptop. Alas I will have to go the dual-boot route as well.

Thanks for the quick reply though.
