Debian, I can't make nvidia-xrun work

[pimassart]

Hello (First i wanted to apologise if I make error, english is not my first language and I'm not super comfortable with linux)

I run a Debian 9 distribution on a laptop with intel and nvidia GPU. I wanted to run game via Steam Vulkan. I've got bumblebee installed and it seem to only run intel GPU via Vulkan. My research on internet seem to say that nvidia-xrun is the best way to make it work properly.

I've installed "nvidia-xrun" from github by following a tutorial, especially theses part :

apt install git git clone https://github.com/Witko/nvidia-xrun.git cd nvidia-xrun cp nvidia-xorg.conf /etc/X11/ cp nvidia-xinitrc /etc/X11/xinit/ cp nvidia-xrun /usr/bin/ chmod +x /usr/bin/nvidia-xrun

When running command like "nvidia-xrun openbox-session" on a tty I never had anything but errors. I've put the Xorg.2.log attach as you can see Xorg.2.log

One of the error is about nvidia-xorg.conf.d , I've got that file in /etc/X11 but it's a empty file Others are about a Device and Screen not found, that i couldn't figure out.

I've also try to run "openbox-session" on a tty but it don't work either.

Openbox-Message: Échec de l'ouverture de l'affichage depuis la variable d'environnement DISPLAY.

Witch can be translate in : "Failed to open the view from the DISPLAY environment variable."

Sorry for the long post, and thank you for taking the time to read me.

Just got it working (ok, I'm on Ubuntu 21.04, not Debian, but maybe this helps as I ran into the same issues and solutions above). The last step for me was making /etc/X11/xinit/nvidia-xinitrc executable. sudo chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/nvidia-xinitrc Half Life 2 is now happily rendering on the nvidia gpu.
