Ubuntu 13.04 fails to run - No devices detected

[ricey-uk]

Chaps,

I've just done a clean install of Ubuntu 13.04 daily (24 Mar 13) with kernel 3.8.0-14

followed by a clean install on bumblebee + nvidia (304) and it fails to run any app with optirun.

Here are some of the details:

~$ optirun -vv --debug bash

the output from bumblebee -vv --debug is here:

the above is with

but exactly the same happens with the installed 3.8.0-14

I've tried both the stable and testing repos on both kernels and the results are identical - kind of suggests it's not Bumblebee but something else, but I can't for the life of me see what it might be!

any help greatly appreciated.

This is strange, it starts loading nvidia driver, fails with no device detected, and then load intel and tons of other things it shouldn't load...

[ricey-uk]

It is very odd, it used to work on the previous (pre -14) kernels. I'm at a loss!

[Lekensteyn]

What does find /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d -ls -exec cat {} \; say? Can you put your kernel log somewhere on pastebin?

I have the same problem after updating 13.04.

When restarting bumblebeed, I get this in my syslog:

When running "optirun -vv --debug glxspheres", I get this on stdout:

Hi,

here's my kern.log from boot to the end!

http://pastebin.com/JSjYkyKD

and find /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d -ls -exec cat {} ; says:

http://pastebin.com/7d2NWedw

hope this helps, anything else that would be useful for you to see please ask :)

cheers

[ArchangeGabriel]

Confirmed, broken on Raring, with either nouveau or any nvidia flavor.

[ricey-uk]

So what did Ubuntu change? as it worked on earlier dailies with the same version of Bumblebee.

does it look like a quick fix? If indeed a fix by Bumblebee is needed. Do we indeed need to report against Ubuntu?

cheers

[circlingthesun]

As far as I can tell it doesn't seem to be a kernel problem, as I still get the same issue when booting earlier kernels.

[ArchangeGabriel]

Indeed, it looks more to be xorg.

[ricey-uk]

that makes sense as on previous dailies it worked perfectly, after the 24th it stopped on all kernels, including 3.9. That suggests that the xorg update of that daily conflicts somewhere now with this latest xorg bumblebee doesn't work with any kernel!

so, what changed? is there a quick way of telling - version numbers/change logs?

[circlingthesun]

@ArchangeGabriel, you are right. It was an xorg update that broke it. Upgrading xerver-xorg-core 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu2b1 to 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu3 breaks bumblebee. @ricey-uk, if you still have the old package cached, you can fix bumblebee via sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.13.3-0ubuntu2b1_amd64.deb.

[ArchangeGabriel]

Reported to the package maintainer, waiting for an answer.

[ricey-uk]

Hi,
have reverted to the version stated above ( downloaded from launch pad) and it's working again!

so, it does indeed seem to be xorg!

let's see what they say.

cheers
