Hi,
For a reason that escapes me, even though I was able to get optirun to work with the 4.9.x kernel (although with some work and with some apps stubornly refusing to be run with, for details see this thread (for apps refusing to run with optirun) and this thread for details on how I managed to get optirun to work at all) when I run:
optirun glxgears
with the 4.10.0 kernel I am logged out of KDE Plasma 5 and sent to the SDDM login screen. So I can be as helpful as possible here is my:
lspci -k

as I have blacklisted nouveau and installed nvidia-bumblebee with zypper (which I understand includes a modprobe blacklist configuration file, namely, /etc/modprobe.d/51-blacklist-nouveau.conf, which should automatically blacklist nouveau for me anyway!). I have re-run:
sudo mkinitrd
at least twice since I upgraded to the 4.10.0 kernel and rebooted and still it does not seem to have helped. Anyone have any ideas why? By-the-way I have the dkms systemd service enabled (with
systemctl enable dkms
), I have also enabled bumblebeed (even though I was originally afraid to as I thought it might slow my PC down, but I have overcome that fear and found my PC is just as fast as ever :). If there is something I was supposed to do that I am missing then I don’t know what it is.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
