the script is installed correctly, so mane you didn't launch it as "vmware-bumblebee"?
What I mean is, you have to launch VMware workstation or player from the script, not from the menu link.

I have got VMware Player but i don't understand i started vmware with ./vmplayer
bash file but it still gives error?
Ok, run it as: ./vmplayer -x
And post the output
Ahh, got it. OK, the original "vmware-bumblebee" script that you downloaded from this project - where's that? do: ln -s ./vmware-bumblebee ./vmplayer ./vmplayer
then it should work. This tool has 2 components - one that you run, and a 2nd that it installs from inside itself. You did the install correctly (which is why you're getting that error), but now you have to call the main part to run vmplayer properly.
By doing this special linking, the script will know you called "vmplayer" rather than vmware workstation.
The design is made this way so that it works with more versions of VMware workstation and play (10 through 12 all appear to work for me, but I only have a lab for 10 and 12 on ubuntu).
I'm trying to understand...
I downloaded this project and i copied vmware-bumblebee-master
to /usr/lib/vmware/bin/
and after i renamed that folder from vmware-bumblebee-master
to vmware-bumblebee
in bin
folder.
But after you said do this ln -s ./vmware-bumblebee ./vmplayer
but it creates just a link about that folder in bin
.
Maybe you should add a small tutorial to readme.md
:) I'm sorry i'm not good at linux just a programmer and want to learn linux... Also want to play games on my linux :P
Added instructions to the readme as you requested. :) Short answer for your problem is: you downloaded and installed it into the software, rather than into your home directory.
try removing /usr/lib/vmware-bin/vmware-bumblebee, then just calling ~/vmware-bumblebee-master/vmplayer
it should work that way. If so, try the new instructions in the readme for more seamless long-term access.
Oh thanks... Now it works but i don't understand something again :)
Now i can run with ./vmplayer
... but it didn't effect on games?
I have got GTX960M. I tested Minecraft on Win10 Workstation 12. I tested without this project it gives 14 FPS on Minecraft after installed this project and opened by typing ./vmplayer
it still gives 14 FPS...
Nothing changed isn't it weird?
This script just enables the NVidia Bumblebee drivers to launch vmware connected to the NVidia card, rather than the intel card.
You then have to tell the VMware software that the virtual machine is capable of hardware-accelerated 3d in the .vmx file. In VMware Workstation, you do this by editing the machine, going to "Advanced" and then editing the "Display" setting, but you might have to edit the VMX directly in Player
It's enabled but i think this script doesn't enables the Nvidia Bumblebee driver to launch vmware connected nvidia card :)
first, make sure that "primusrun glxinfo |head" shows different output than "glxinfo | head". The first should show bumblebee launching the Nvidia card, the 2nd should show the i915 card.
If that works, and you're still not certain if my script is launching bumblebee properly, you can force it with the "--yes" flag. You can run "bash -x ./vmplayer --yes" and paste the debug output in here.

Idk is there any problem?
On your line 235, it doesn't match line 510 of the script, which should be: XAUTHORITY=${XAUTHORITY} $SUDO -- ${bbrun} ${SHOPT} $VMware
Your system ran:
but should have run: /usr/bin/gksudo -k -- /usr/bin/primusrun bash -x /usr/bin/vmplayer
Can you pull the latest version of the script from github and rerun? I'm hoping it's just a recent change you're missing.
I tested with latest version of the script and results are:
Vmware openning great. Vmware starting operating system (windows 10 pro) then windows logo appears... then windows (or vmware idk) gives this error: https://i.hizliresim.com/XXm4r7.png
And here's log: https://hastebin.com/oyujepades.py
I'm sorry but what means this:
ERROR: NVIDIA_DEST variable is empty, we should have inherited from the user vmware script!
also how do i fix this?
