I am trying to resintall bumblebee coz right now it doesn’t seem to use nvidia in the game. Now when I reinstall following thetutorial here as always, here is the result when I install nvidia-bumblebee:

Output of nvidia-bumblebee-367.44-2.1.x86_64.rpm %posttrans script:

It however shows the installation is completed.

Steam/games haven’t been working for nearly half a year on my machine. I wonder if other opensuser users can run steam/games well at the moment.

Can’t help specifically with your problem, but I know that the last release of Tumbleweed about a week ago appears to have broken the bumblebeed service

I see the following with journalctl -xn


Oct 30 09:31:31 LENOVO systemd[1]: bumblebeed.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Oct 30 09:31:31 LENOVO systemd[1]: bumblebeed.service: Unit entered failed state.
Oct 30 09:31:31 LENOVO systemd[1]: bumblebeed.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Oct 30 09:31:31 LENOVO audit[1]: SERVICE_STOP pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=bumblebeed comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed'

I’m on a slightly later kernel than you


Linux LENOVO 4.8.4-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 22 11:24:48 UTC 2016 (402d8c1) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I wonder if the two problems are related?

iDominic, it seems this issue has been fixed or what but today I tried to install nvidia and it installed without error.

Nevertheless, bbswtich seems to have a new bug too with kernel 4.8. See here: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch/issues/140

So still no luck on running a steam game here and it’s been 6 months. It’s just bugs after bugs, from different parties.
