Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
Now when I rebooted the computer, I get a white screen with an error message
Not fixed :/
In rescue mode i run journalctl -xb and going through the output I find some red text I assume is related to the problem:Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem occured and the system can't recover.
Please log out and try again.
And some in white about nvidia:nouveau 0000:01:00.0: unknown chipset (137000a1)
No clue if related..nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
Not fixed :/

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
Are you able to get to command prompt?
edit the following file (if it is not there, then create it, with exact name)
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off
Try this too.
Pass this key=value to the linux command in your menu entry.
Press "e" in Grub
navigate to the end of the linux command and add the following below...
pcie_port_pm=off

Did the above. Still getting the same white screen with an error message after reboot.
The nouveau message is now gone from journalctl -xb output

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
By the end of the linux command do you mean at the very bottom of that file? Sorry, I'm a newbie..
I put it there at the bottom on a new line after all the other stuff, booted via F10 and still getting the same error.

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
edit a menuentry by pressing e
the commands on each line have parameters passed to them
https://imagebin.ca/v/3iCz8LznvcB9
add pcie_port_pm=off
Then press F10 to boot
Note: edited values here are not saved

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
Try uninstalling the driver first.
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98.run --uninstall
Let me know if you get it uninstalled and can boot back into your system.
I am still looking into this.hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
Yup. I uninstalled Nvidia and commented the blacklist-nouveau file lines and I'm getting in to graphical mode now.
When I was looking into this before myself, I came to the conclusion I have hybrid graphics chipset. Since the command lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga" returns 2 lines of output. But I did try the bumblebee guide aswell with no luck as you probably saw in my earlier posts..
Really appreciate the help by the way

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
No problem.
I know we can get this to work.
Let me look into it abit more.
There is a great video online but nvidia-detect does not display anything for your video card. Is this like a brand new Nvidia Video card?
Method 1 (Package Version) Note - nvidia-detect does not bring any result thou for your card.
This video is worth watching and following the steps exactly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5RJzZxQ62U
Method 2
This is the manual install which I know we can get working. I am still looking into it.
Lets not give up on this.
Please do watch the youtube video and try and go step by step to see if you can get it working that way.

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
Hmm.. I'm going to feel like a moron for not mentioning this before if this has something to do with this problem, but I'm seeing the following errors when I run dmesg command. Could this be related?
Code: Select all
ACPI Error: [_UPC] Namespace lookup failure, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20160831/dswload-378)
ACPI Exception: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During name lookup/catalog (20160831/psobject-227)

GTX 1050, I guess it's pretty new stuff. I got this laptop just like a month ago.maximus1978 wrote: There is a great video online but nvidia-detect does not display anything for your video card. Is this like a brand new Nvidia Video card?

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
I went though all the steps in the video you posted. Results in the same white screen error.

Curious?
What did nvidia-detect give you?
Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
The same error I mentioned before. When I restart the computer and just as it should go into the graphical login view I get this error in a white background:maximus1978 wrote: This error exactly?

Oh no! Something has gone wrong.

Please log out and try again.
Running nvidia-detect as instructed in the video had the same result as before:maximus1978 wrote:What did nvidia-detect give you?

root@Laptop:/home/user# nvidia-detect
No NVIDIA GPU detected.

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
I actually just messed something up it seems. I went to purge all the stuff installed on the video so I could get back in graphical mode and now I get into the login screen but when I enter the password (correctly ), it doesn't let me in. Just refreshes the login view.. I guess it's time to do a reinstall again and start fresh...maximus1978 wrote: Please type and post result.

lsmod | grep bbs returns nothing. Probably because I purged everything nvidia related. My bad.
uname -r returns 4.9.0-3-amd64

Re: Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers
GTX 1050 support was added in version 375.20. Stretch has 375.82, no issue there.
With Bumblebee and Optimus done correctly, the Intel GPU will always provide the display. All Bumblebee optirun does is hand off the 3D rendering to the Nvidia GPU to do in the background, and then give it to the Intel GPU for display. If you followed the wiki for Bumblebee, the worst that happens is that the handoff does not work, you don't lose the GUI, since the Intel is always supplying that.
If you lose the GUI, that shows that you did not follow the wiki step by step. Usually that's because you created an xorg.conf configuration file like you would for a standard Nvidia GPU. DO NOT do this for Bumblebee! You should not need an xorg.conf file at all.
The other big mistake is not watching the terminal output for a build error and just assuming it worked. Seen that here many times.
