[SOLVED] Optimus/Bumblebee/Optirun fails with GTX 860M

#1 Post by yoha »

Hello. I have been experimenting difficulties with running Bumblebee on my Debian Stretch/unstable install. It used to work fine just a few days ago; I am guessing this is due to some update. Coincidentally, fonts now looks bigger and `xrandr` now only shows one available resolution (the one previously used). I tried reverting to the previous kernel version (`4.0.0-2-amd64`) to no avail (same error after installing nvidia module through dkms).

So, first, along with the Intel chipset, I have a GTX 860M that should be enabled when running e.g. `optirun glxgears`:

Code: Select all

~% lspci | grep -Ei 'vga|3D' 
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 860M] (rev ff)
However, something goes wrong, as glxgears exits immediately (silently):

Code: Select all

~% optirun -vv --debug glxgears
[ 1244.443674] [DEBUG]Reading file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Directly running `primusrun` does show a segfault however:

Code: Select all

~% primusrun glxgears
zsh: segmentation fault  primusrun glxgears
Looking at Bumblebee's status, it seems to have gone haywire when enabling the nvidia driver:

Code: Select all

Interestingly, running the following does not show anything in the logs:

Code: Select all

# modprobe nvidia
# rmmod nvidia
rmmod: ERROR: Module nvidia is not currently loaded
Does anyone have an idea what I should be trying next? Thanks by advance for any help!

Edit: the following observations tell me the bug only started appearing today (maybe due to an update yesterday):
  • I used to be able to run Minecraft fine without `optirun` (using it causing problems in this particular game), at about ~30 FPS ; it is now running at only ~7 FPS
  • `mplayer` is now unable to scale videos in fullscreen (centers them instead)

Re: Optimus/Bumblebee/Optirun fails with GTX 860M

After two days of investigation, I finally found a solution. I changed

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset"
to

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
in `/etc/default/grub`, ran `update-grub` and rebooted.

I do not remember if I added that option myself, but if anyone encounter a similar issue, that might be the solution you have been desperately looking for!
