Hello my friends, so everytime i install the nvidia 940m drivers on my linux laptop Lenovo Yoga Pro 14", i get the following screen:
Here is the GPU specs:
Intel® HD Graphics 5500
NVIDIA GeForce GT 940M 2GB
http://i65.tinypic.com/2a0035z.jpg
I really don’t know why this is happening because the 940m GPU appears in the compatible list.
I was wondering if you could help me because i really need the nvidia gpu up and running for heavy image and vectorial editing stuff.
Oh and by the way, i was able to uninstall nvidia drivers with the command: sudo sh ./nvidia358.16.sh --uninstall
I just want to know if there is any solution for this case because i really don’t want to go to windows
It seems that the Yoga Pro 14" has the “Optimus” architecture for enabling the Nvidia chip.
If that applies to your model too, you have to install bumblebee plus optionally nvidia-bumblebee as detailed at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee
Installing only the Nvidia driver overwrites libraries for the Intel integrated graphics and is likely to give the problems you are seeing.
With Leap repositories it should currently install Nvidia driver 352.63, not the 358.16 you appear to use.
Hope this helps.
Good news is that i was able to restart the laptop with intel and nvidia GPU after the instalation and there is no longer that error of “Oh no! Something has gone wrong”.
Anyway, i still would love to know how can i check what GPU i’m using and how does the bumblebee manages the Intel and Nvidia GPU since there is no control panel, or if there is, i’m currently missing it
EDIT: Yes, it installed the 352.63 driver, my question is, i now installed the bumblebee (openSUSE Software), and if i remove the driver 352.63 (openSUSE Software), will i be able to install the 358.16 directly from nvidia or it isn’t possible due to incompatibilities with “Optimus” Intel + Nvidia laptops.
Nice to know it’s working!
Then you are using integrated graphics when you start your programs the usual way.
To use Nvidia via bumblebee open a terminal and type:
If you also installed “primus” (should be default IIRC…) an alternative is:
primusrun <name_of_program>
Check “man optirun” for more details.
If you install the Mesa-demo-x package, by issuing command “glxinfo” and then “optirun glxinfo” you should be able to see the two different openGL renderers used by Intel (Mesa library) and Nvidia, respectively.
No need for the 358.16 driver AFAIK. If there is a valuable update it will show up as an update to the nvidia-bumblebee package.
You might also find something interesting on this thread.
Thank you for help. I was able to install the bumblebee drivers and everytime i need to use nvidia i run the command.
“primusrun NAME_OF_APP” on terminal
Anyway, i got another problem, somehow my fps on Steam are being limited to 49 fps in-game.
I tried to run Steam with “vblank_mode=0 primusrun steam”
But here is the errors i get:
vblank_mode=0 primusrun steam

I was wondering if you could help me to see what is limiting my fps Everything on game settings is disabled, vsync, fps_max 0 etc. It looks to be a problem from nvidia driver i guess…
Sorry, never used Steam so I can’t comment on specific issues other than recommending that the “steam” installer from Leap OSS repo be used, since your log reads:
Try “vblank_mode=0 primusrun glxspheres”, it should give some 300 fps on your GT 940M: if so, everything should be OK with your bumblebee install.
If you really need “game performance”, you might try this, but be aware that it is still very experimental and requires some system knowledge if something goes wrong.
