Re: Problems with the video card and touchpad on Samsung lap

Eddy,
Since I don't have a system in a similar state as yours I can't do any testing. Any advice I give will just be me guessing at what to do. Someone else might have a better idea.

I would suspect that the cleanup should only run if there are other nvidia packages already installed, so you might just want to remove all nvidia packages if you haven't already.

To shut down the x server I think this would be the easiest approach:
go to a terminal (e.g.. ctrl+f1), and do

Code: Select all

sudo service gdm3 stop
(assuming you're using gdm3)

Then unload the nvidia driver:if it's loaded

Code: Select all

sudo rmmod nvidia
Try running the installation again now. I'm not sure why the nvidia installler cleanup script is failing, but hopefully it's just because your X is running.

I can't give you any specific advice though.

thank for your help i tried what u've said but did the same result..

anyway before the failing of the script I get this message window:

Code: Select all

The 'nvidia-installer program was found i your sistem. This is probaly left over from an earlier instalation of the non-free NVIDIA grafics driver, installed unsing the NVIDIA *.run file directly. This installation is incompatible with the debian packages. To install  the debian packages safely , it is therefore neccessary to undo the changes performed by 'nvidia_installer' .
Run 'nvidia-installer --uninstall'?
yes      no
'
after i answer yes i got the screen were the script is failing...

I think I messed up the bumblebee installation...can I undo an installation or something like that? Or maybe other solutions..

Eddy,
since I don't have access to a system with similar issues it's difficult for me to help you. Please don't bump things by reposting. People visit the forums when they have time.

Anyway,
bumblebee-nvidia depends on bumblebee (= 3.0.1-1); however:
Package bumblebee is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing bumblebee-nvidia (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Is there a bumblebeed in your /etc/init.d? If not, is it possible to install the bumblebeed before anything else, and launch it using

Code: Select all

sudo service bumblebeed start
?

Other increasingly desperate things to try are

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f
to make sure any missing deps are installed, followed by

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure bumblebee
Other than that, try reading
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bu ... leshooting

https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee

https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bu ... ing-Issues

although I suspect you already have.

You may also want to have a look at the Linux Mint forums since similar issues presumably may arise on their Linux Mint Debian Edition. Just be careful about ppas.

Also, what about using the bumblebee-nouveau instead of the nvidia driver? Does everything install ok then?

Yes :

Code: Select all

ls -l | grep bumblebee
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  2123 Sep 21 10:32 bumblebeed

It gives me the same errors from the installation...any way, you recommend me the repository install or the manual install? and how can I try nouveau if i've installed all the nvidia packages? they are too much to uninstall theme one by one... it seams that the bumblebee won't be easy to repair...thanks for your time!

Eddy,
I'm happy to hear that it worked out in the end for you, and I apologise for not following up towards the end (I'm lecturing at a university in the southern hemisphere and the finals start next week -- busy days for everyone).

You may want to summarise what you did in the end (that worked) in a last post and then mark the topic as solved.
