Optirun doesn't launch any applications #234

Does changing KernelDriver=nvidia-current to KernelDriver=nvidia in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf and rebooting change anything ? |
|
I did what you suggested and it didn't change anything. I'm still having the same problem. |
|
What is in /var/log/Xorg.8.log? Have you tried adding the ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates PPA, updating and upgrading? |
|
Yes, I have added ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates PPA. Infact, the last time I updated my system I had an update from ubuntu-x-swat and after updating I started having this problem. Here is the /var/log/Xorg.8.log that you requested - http://pastebin.com/LWasCzxD |
|
You still have to use |
|
Okay, so I did what you mentioned but it didn't help. The problem is still there. Oh and I just noticed that |
|
Is it possible to upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version? Say, 12.04? You can also downgrade the driver (use /var/log/apt/history.log to determine version) if you are fine with security holes in the old, but working driver. |
|
I downgraded my nvidia-driver and everything is back as it was. Thank you very much!! :D |
|
Opening to track the new driver issue. |
|
If you have a little time to try it, please upgrade your driver again, and be sure that the two followings things are set in bumblebee.conf : Don't forget to reboot after making changes. If it doesn't work, please paste Xorg.8.log and syslog in pastebin. This will help us understand better what is the problem and eventually fix it for you and other possibly concerned users. |
|
I have the exact same problem - just ugraded nvidia driver and now optirun does not work.... |
|
Followed the instructions above: Rebootet, and problem solved thanks!!!! |
|
A future update of bumblebee in Ubuntu should work around Ubuntu's awkard naming. (that is, ignore the KernelDriver value if it cannot be loaded). |
|
@husfeldt : Was it EXACTLY the same, with same error messages ? That point is very important for us. |
|
@ArchangeGabriel : Sorry for the late reply. I updated my nvidia driver, made changes to the bumblebee.conf file and optirun is launching applications. Here is Xorg.8.log --> http://pastebin.com/hgN7GbHS |
|
I don't know about FPS, I've never been able to have the same twice, even with same driver version. You have an external monitor connected, isn't it ? Is it running on the nvidia or intel card ? Intel I guess ? Could you try to change this in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf: |
|
No, I don't have any external monitor connected. |
|
Weird... Your card is detecting a CRT and a DFP... Did you try the change ? |
|
There is no mention of |
|
Sorry, my mistake, it's in /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia |
|
Okay, I changed |
|
Verify if it's working, check the FPS, and paste the new Xorg.8.log. |
|
Optirun is working. FPS is still in the range 90 to 125. Here is the new Xorg.8.log --> http://pastebin.com/KM5tzYa1 |
|
Do you see a difference in perfs somewhere else than in glxspheres ? |
|
The games does seem to be running a bit smoother now but then again I can not be too sure. Is there any other way I could measure the performance? |
|
There is no esay way to mesure perfs with bumblebee currently, but if you don't have any true problem with them, just let it go. It's only if you can't run something or have too few FPS that you may bother. |

Bumblebee Version: optirun (Bumblebee) 3.0.1
Problem : I updated my system and after update I'm unable to run any applications with optirun. It just doesn't do anything. It starts the process and then kills it. I tried supertuxkart with --debug and this was the output.

However, nothing seems to be wrong with battery backup. It is working fine as before.
Thanks ahead!
