to install bumblebee in my SUSE under macBook 10.8.2.
when I finished installed necessary package and reboot my system, I find that the bumblebee and optirun can be started. However, when I try to run some software such as:
optirun firefox
it said:
the Bumblebee X server was not avaible , please check the
Bumblebee logfies at /var/log/bumblebee.log
and here is the log file:
wating for orders
optirun start request received
checking for X server availability before start x
x server is not started
power manager is disabled, only loading driver
driver "nouveau" has not matching kernel module installed
the driver failed to load
Does anybody have any idea how to solve this problem?
Only a guess from me. Others may be able to advise better than I can. Anyway, I’ve read that you need to make sure that ‘Driver=nvidia’ is present in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf, and check that the nouveau driver is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf as well.
thank you very much for kind advices.
I tried it for many times even with different kernels: default and Desktop. Now I can login to my system with only failsafe mode. The normal login screen stacked without any errors:
Started postfix mail trasport Agent ok
Started LSB: SUSEfirewal2 phase 2 ok
then, nothing happen…
I removed the option “x11 fail safe” from safe mode, and the login shows the same problem… do you have any idea what’s the problem?
Thought it is not indicated, I believe that is the point where the X server starts up in the boot process on openSUSE. I would guess that you have made user supplied configurations for the server which are unfortunately taking down / freezing the entire system, as opposed to simply exiting X’s initiation gracefully and then continuing on with the boot process, and dropping you back to console.
I removed the option “x11 fail safe” from safe mode, and the login shows the same problem… do you have any idea what’s the problem?
yes, whatever earlier configurations you (or the Bumblebee instillation) have made to xorg.conf (or similar file).
I think that is likely a quick parapharse/summation you’ve provided, but if it isn’t, then, and not to be overly pedantic (cause these little things really do provide improvements), you could pass on a quick note or patch to the Bumblebee developers, correcting for the grammar and spelling: "the Bumblebee X server is not available**,** please … "
and here is the log file:
wating for orders
optirun start request received
checking for X server availability before start x
x server is not started
power manager is disabled, only loading driver
driver "nouveau" has not matching kernel module installed
the driver failed to load
Again, a one or two liner patch here could improve the error output:
“waiting for orders
…
driver “nouveau” has no matching kernel module installed”
