While I configured proxy settings with the yast but still I get error for installing nvidia-bumblebee

Looks like you have some proxy between you and the nvidia download site,
that requires some sort of authentification that the bumblebee download script cannot handle - a college restriction??

Can you download the file directly via your browser and the address http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/346.35/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.35.run ?
You might have success with copying the then downloaded file NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.35.run into the directory /usr/src/ and rerun the installation of nvidia-bumblebee.
The script should notice that the wanted driver is already, where it should be after the script’s downloading sequence.

Ok now tHAT helps. But now I’m getting another error

I don’t know weather this is relevant or not.
When I ran mkinitrd I got following errors
1.

Omitting driver i2o_scsi

Skipping udev rule: 91-permissions.rules
Skipping udev rule: 80-drivers-modprobe.rules

akash:~ # uname -r

mkinitrd only tells you about what it does and doesn’t, but as long as there is no ‘error’ within the message, it’is just for information.

After the boot process you could call ‘dmesg’ and look for error messages concerning the graphics card.

dmesg | grep nvidia

dmesg | grep NVRM

dmesg | grep bbswitch

Please post the results and the content of the file /etc/modprobe.d/50-bbswitch.conf

Now I see some errors

How can this happen?

So, I believe my model is supported

Try changing the content of /etc/modprobe.d/50-bbswitch.conf from

options bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=1

to

options bbswitch load_state=-1 unload_state=1

and reboot.

akash@akash:~> cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-bbswitch.conf

Did you reboot?

Anyway, now try it with this content of /etc/modprobe.d/50-bbswitch.conf :

options bbswitch load_state=1 unload_state=1

Problem is, that your Nvidia card is switched off power by bbswitch before the nvidia driver is able to configure its ressources properly.
If this is happening once at boot time the whole PCI graphics configuration is botched (the ressources otherwise occupied) and
you cannot mend this before rebooting with a then powered-on Nvidia card and keeping this state until the Nvidia driver is called.

I hoped that the unload_state=1 would switch on the Nvidia card while shutting down and
thus the card would stay powered on (load_state=-1 / state unchanged) while rebooting.

Now with load_sate=1 it should be forced powered on during booting.
A bumblebee restart before rebooting can’t hurt:

systemctl restart bumblebeed

Keep your fingers crossed!

11

of-course I rebooted it

Hey in anxiety, I forgot to do this.

Hurray!!! Yipeeeeeeeeeee!!! rotfl!
Thanks Brunolab

Well how did you know my Nvidia card had been switched off by bbswitch.

12

Great it finally works!!
I had had almost the same error symptoms on my laptop and it took me quite some time to find out,
that it never had been much of a nvidia driver problem, but a problem of timing (switch on/off of the discrete graphics card) at boot time.

bbswitch is the culprit, nvidia never was, concerning at least my system.
Your

dmesg | grep NVRM

showed:

   15.920004] NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine failed for 1 device(s). 
   15.920008] NVRM: None of the NVIDIA graphics adapters were initialized! 
   15.920346] NVRM: NVIDIA init module failed!

While

dmesg | grep bbswitch

showed:

    2.873952] bbswitch: Found discrete VGA device 0000:01:00.0: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP 
    2.874137] bbswitch: detected an Optimus _DSM function
    2.874218] bbswitch: disabling discrete graphics 
    2.887270] bbswitch: Succesfully loaded. Discrete card 0000:01:00.0 is off

Now 2.874137 < 15.920004, that is, bbswitch recognized your Optimus system correctly,
but disabled the discrete graphics at time count 2.874218, and later, at 15.920008,
NVRAM complained about your NVIDIA graphics adapters not having been initialized,
which only works right, if the Nvidia card is powered on at time of initialization.

I don’t know, why the default values of /etc/modprobe.d/50-bbswitch.conf are set to power off
the discrete graphics card with load_state=0 while starting up.
bbswitch will take care of switching the unused card off later on, despite load_state=1.

Maybe the switched off discrete graphics card is the simplest way for getting a working operating system on first install?

13

Ha Ha. I didnot notice it till now altough applications can run on nvidia but when I run optirun --status, I get error

akash@akash:~> optirun --status
Bumblebee status: Error (3.2.1): [XORG] (EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

Now what does this mean

14

I have the same problem, but these solutions doesn’t work for me :’(

15

Please, post your problem on a separate thread and explain about your problem in brief instead of posting “I have a similar problem”

Do mention how did you installed the nvidia driver, what version of openSUSE you are using and what version of kernel you are using.

16

Apparently it is not enough to just change the content of /etc/modprobe.d/50-bbswitch.conf as
described above, you also have to rebuild the initrd for these changes to take effect:

mkinitrd

Reboot.

17

Thank you. It worked. lol!

18

No it didn’t help me.

But by doing mkinitrd the cards performance increased :wink:

117.897669 frames/sec - 103.943301 Mpixels/sec

I think so this is a bug

19

Ok Systemd 101

any time you change a startup file ie one that runs at startup most of the time you meed to run mkinitrd.

What this is, is that systemd caches the hardware and settings so it can boot faster. but you need to tell systemd that things changed so you run mkinitrd. So until you tell systemd things changed it will use the old settings.

So this is more user confusion then a bug.

20

Did mkinitrd, restarted the computer. Result

Anyways not a problem atleast the programs can run on nvidia
