primusrun failed with "file exists" error

woodelf commented 9 years ago

Starting this month (earlier may be), I found I cannot correctly run primusrun any more. It always failed with error. The variable _PRIMUSVERBOSE=2 does not help to provide any useful output at all. It also only shows below error message:

wood@Gentoo ~ $ primusrun glxgears
primus: fatal: failed to connect to Bumblebee daemon: File exists

However, I cannot figure out what is the exact file that causing this issue. My bumblebee daemon is correctly running, and of course, my user is a member of bumblebee group.

wood@Gentoo ~ $ LANG=C systemctl status -l bumblebeed
bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon

I'm quite sure it works fine before. Could you kindly help to solve this issue?

optirun works fine, but I really need primus to run some of the steam games.

I'm using Gentoo, and here is some of my package version info. I'm not sure if it will be helpful to diagnose the issue:

linux-kernel-3.19.3 xorg-server-1.17.1 libdrm-2.4.60 xf86-video-intel-2.99.917 mesa-10.5.1 nvidia-drivers-349.12

I've pushed a commit that fixes a mistake in error handling, can you check if it helps? If not, please run primusrun strace glxgears and supply the resulting log.

The new commit fixed this problem! Now primus works like a charm.

Good job, and thank you so much, @amonakov
