Nvidia Bumblebee Installation Problem

Hello,

I’m using openSUSE Leap 15.0.

sudo hwinfo --gfxcard | grep Model
  Model: "nVidia GM107M [GeForce GTX 850M]"
  Model: "Intel Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller"


Optimus Technology is used by this graphic cards, so I installed bumblebee like suggested at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee.
I did the following steps:

  1. I did every step at the section “Install bumblebee” at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee

  2. Restarted the system

  3. I followed the section OPTIONAL: Install NVIDIA drivers
    and installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers as described at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#Easy_way_to_get_NVIDIA_drivers. I installed the x11-video-nvidiaG04 package. 1. Restarted the system

  4. I continued with the steps at OPTIONAL: Install NVIDIA drivers
    . At the step > Make sure all lines in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-gfxG.conf are commented out.*
    I figuered out that there is no nvidia file in this directory, just a file named “graphviz.conf”, so I just left out that step. Was this ok? I continued with “Add the nvidia module to blacklist” and did the rest of the section.

  5. Next step was to follow the section Additional steps for Leap 15.0
    . I did everything except of the step > If you recieve problems while using primusrun or optirun -b primus commands you probably should use the different version of primus.

  6. Section Verifying Installation
    gave me the following output in the terminal: ```
    optirun --status
    Bumblebee status: Ready (3.2.1). X inactive. Discrete video card is off.

 




optirun glxgears
glxgears: symbol lookup error: /usr/X11R6/lib64/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: __GLXGL_CORE_FUNCTIONS







 

optirun -b none nvidia-settings -c :8

ERROR: A problem occured when loading the GUI library. Please check your installation and library path. You may

Could anybody please help me out?

Welcome to the openSUSE Forums! According to this post only the “old method” works on Leap 15: https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee&oldid=118653
