My hwinfo --gfxcard output

When i try to use prime-select and choose nvidia,i’ve got this:


modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_drm': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

ERROR: Unable to query GPU information

PCI BusID of NVIDIA card could not be detected!

The part of dmesg show me this errors:

               NVRM: BIOS or the Linux kernel, but the PCI bridge

How can i fix it? I try easy and hard way for installing driver, but no luck.

Is there only one graphics card in your system or have you not shown the complete output of **hwinfo --gfxcard?

Its a Intel/Nvidia controller:

16: PCI 100.0: 0302 3D controller

So how was nvidia installed?

I think you need bumblebee:

I found this thread https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/534701-bumblebee-not-working/ here on the forum.

Post No. 17 (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/534701-bumblebee-not-working?p=2895047#post2895047) sounds promising.

Maybe worth trying?!

Thx for all!

No, i just put part of output.

So how was nvidia installed?

Last time it was easiest way, from Nvidia repo.
@susejunky - Thanks for you researching! It helps!

So,finally - I unninstalled bbswitch,bumblebee. Also i’ve got an nvidia update(maybe it also helps) to 430.14-15.1. I also have blacklist noeveau in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf .After rebooting, i used

sudo prime-select nvidia

and relogin. Now it all works! Thanks a lot!

Fine !!!

I have slightly different hardware (Intel HD Graphics 630 + GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile) and use GitHub - bubbleguuum/SUSEPrime: Provide nvidia-prime like package for openSUSE (a fork of openSUSEs SUSEprime) with openSUSE Tumbleweed. It works fine even with bbswitch (0.8-7.86 from the Tumbleweed repository) installed.

The README which comes with that software states:

“Do not use this script with other prime tools such as Bumblebee or the original suse-prime.” and “If Xorg starts with a black screen or not at all … eventually uninstall package xf86-video-nouveau.”

So probably the main reason for your problem was having SUSEprime and bumblebee installed in parallel. However i do have different hardware …
