Screen Resolution Issue

Can you show me how I make this?

Thanks.

sudo apt install -t jessie-backports primus bumblebee nvidia-driver

Although you should have already installed those packages if you followed my earlier advice.

Please also confirm that there is no xorg.conf or any files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ending in ".conf".

42578 · 2018-01-20 12:43:08

I already had done this:

sudo apt install -t jessie-backports primus bumblebee nvidia-driver

I don't have this file: xorg.conf.d

OK, let's check the drivers:

lspci -knn | grep -A2 '\''[030[02]\]'

42578 · 2018-01-20 13:35:43

I have this:

So the Intel drivers are definitely installed and in use then, that's good.

Hopefully, stevep (or any other NVidia users) will be able to confirm that output is correct for an Optimus system.

Can you use the GPU?

optirun gfxgears

42578 · 2018-01-20 15:50:16

I have this:

[ 7150.243903] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

[ 7150.243977] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2018-01-20 15:59:58

My apologies but it seems you need the bumblebee-nvidia package if you use the NVida drivers.

However, apparently the nouveau drivers can be used with bumblebee, which I didn't realise.

This may be a better option (if performance is not a priority):

sudo aptitude purge nvidia-drivers

Then add your user to the "bumblebee" group:

sudo gpasswd -a $USER bumblebee

Now log out & back in again and try the `optirun` command once more.

42578 · 2018-01-20 16:36:59

If I run this commands I will be able to run games in 60fps?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2018-01-20 16:41:08

^ Only one way to find out

If you use `optirun $game` then that should run $game with the GPU, I think.

I've never owned a computer with a discrete GPU though so I'm not really sure tbh.

42578 · 2018-01-20 16:45:55

Ok, I will try it.

42578 · 2018-01-20 17:10:41

I run the command:

sudo aptitude purge nvidia-drivers

And I have this:

We could not find any package where the name or description matches "nvidia-drivers"

Typo...

sudo aptitude purge nvidia-driver

I made what you told me and I have this:

~$ optirun gfxgears
[ 139.403250] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

[ 139.403333] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

First make sure that you are in the "bumblebee" group:

groups

If you are then try editing the file at /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf (as root) and change the KernelDriver line to:

KernalDriver=nouveau

Then restart bumblebee and retry:

sudo systemctl restart bumblebeed
optirun glxgears

This is actually covered on the Debian wiki page, did you bother to read that?

https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee#Common_issues

That mentions the "nvidia-driver" but we are trying nouveau (for the moment).

42578 · 2018-01-25 20:39:41

Yes, I read.

I have this error when I type optirun glxgears:

[ 73.080168] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the

Change this line in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf:

42578 wrote:

Driver=

To:

Driver=nouveau

If that does not work then check your drivers again:

lspci -knn | grep -A2 '\''[030[02]\]'

We need to see "nouveau" as the kernel driver in use.
