I can't install nvidia driver on OpenSUSE TUMBLEWEED

English Hardware

Hi,
I have installed bumblebee on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. And tried to install Nvidia Drivers as https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way. But installer says
“You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 375.20 NVIDIA
Linux graphics driver installed in this system. For further details,
please see the appendix SUPPORTED NVIDIA GRAPHICS CHIPS in the README
available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.”
I have Nvidia Geforce 940MX card which is supported by latest drivers.

When I check

optirun --status

, It says:
“Bumblebee status: Ready (3.2.1). X inactive. Discrete video card is off.”

I couldn’t change discrete video card status with ON.

I have tried

 tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON

. But it still same as before.

How can I enable discrete gpu of my laptop.
Thanks in advance.

You need to follow the instructions for Bumblebee. This, after you reinstalled the Mesa packages. Do not install the NVIDIA driver the hard way.

Hi, I have found a documentation about Bumblebee:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee
Also in Russian:
https://ru.opensuse.org/SDB:Bumblebee
I have added bumblebee repository:

zypper ar -f [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Bumblebee/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Bumblebee/openSUSE_13.2/)Bumblebee

And reinstalled from this repository:

zypper remove bumblebee
zypper in bumblebee

My problem about making discrete card ON fixed:

tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON
cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch 
0000:01:00.0 ON
optirun --status
Bumblebee status: Ready (3.2.1). X inactive. Discrete video card is on.

I have first installed CUDA package as Nvidia mention:




  1. `sudo rpm -i cuda-repo-opensuse132-8.0.44-1.x86_64.rpm` 
  1. `sudo zypper refresh` 
  1. `sudo zypper install cuda`

With cuda installation I have had a graphic card’s driver package installed.
After

nvidia-xconfig

But still I can’t login.
According to Xorg.0.log:

Also I have installed Nvidia installation file too. (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.20.run)

How can I fix this issue about my graphic card installation.
Thanks in Advance

Remove the regular NVIDIA only use the nvidia-bumblebee version

Re run the .run file with --unistall parameter then install the bumblebee version

Hi;
I have some problems while installing nvidia-bumblebee package.
It gives this error while installing:

(1/1) Installing: nvidia-bumblebee-375.10-1.2.x86_64 …[error]
Installation of nvidia-bumblebee-375.10-1.2.x86_64 failed:

I guess download mirror is changed.
How can I install nvidia-bumblebee without seeing errors.
Thanks in advance.
