Nvidia drivers from mhwd not working

To list your installed mhwd driver ... mhwd -li Then you are using the proprietary nvidia bumblebee mhwd driver. When using bumblebee your intel gpu is active by default, hence the i915 driver in your inxi output. This is by design to save power, your nvidia gpu is must be activated explicitly. Graphics: Card-1: Intel Device driver: i915 v: kernel Card-2: NVIDIA GM107GLM [Quadro M620 Mobile] driver: N/A You use the primusrun command to switch to your nvidia gpu ... bbswitch process does …

[h2556536]

primusrun had the same error

primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: Could not enable discrete graphics card

and according to bbswitch, I am running the intel gpu

the optirun commands had the same error

$ optirun --status

Please make sure you copy and paste the exact command i gave you. It seems you missed the *.* at the end ...
Also ... can you use ``` above and bellow the text?
It will make it look like this:

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions"
EndSection

Also let's see what you have in:
cat -e /etc/bumblebee/*.*

Or you can see this post also, where there is a fix even tho is for GTX 1050

Please use proper formatting to make it readable

How to write/edit a proper and easily readable Discourse forum post

To create an easily read post, proper formatting is a must! Terminal output The most important!!! For terminal output, text output which disables forum formatting for special characters, use Code wrapping (Pre-formated text): It's easily done automatically with a shortcut. Select your text and press Ctrl - Shift+C Full Paragraph text (manually) Create opening line with 3 "back-ticks" ` write or paste text and add on more similar line at the end of text. ``` Code text Bold text ``` …

[h2556536]

I did do the command, I just used improper formatting as petsam said.

Too many dollars!!
You may be rich, though you don't need to show off all the time!

[bogdancovaciu]

Reading about bumblebee made my head spin ... it seems that for each newer GPU combination, the tweaks have to be made manually ... Sadly i don't have any dual GPU system to test and play, so i can only read and give hints. This is another hint and it seems is the same model as yours.

NVIDIA-bumblebee stops working, needs to be reinstalled

Works just fine for me since forever with PMMethod=auto Some kernel releases are sketchier than others but optirun both starts and shutdowns correctly with 4.17.3-1-MANJARO even after resume from hibernate(!).

Too many dollars!!

i think that was my mistake when i put -e in the command i gave

Reading about bumblebee made my head spin

Tell me about it...

I may just revert the changes, uninstall the proprietary driver, and reinstall the free driver...

There was a similar upstream issue reported in Arch for your laptop (Dell Inspiron 7577) and bumblebee is working for them.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237423

So bumblebee works on your hardware, just have to work out why it fails on your system.

When you installed bumblebee did you remove the free driver first, nvidia may be clashing with nouveau if not.

@h2556536

reinstall the free driver

If you actually want to use the nvidia gpu for anything meaningful then the free driver is next to useless performance wise.

Have you followed this method?

I found this, I have the same problem and the same outputs, more late I will try this https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/997

Hi,

Try to do next:

1. Add nouveau.modeset=0 to kernel boot params
2. Reinstall bumblebee drivers

Anyway this steps has been nice for me:

Dell XPS 9560 - Intel-Nvidia Bumblebee drivers install issue

Ok, I got it worked So, again about my laptop and system (Dell XPS 9560 - end of year 2017): System: Manjaro 17.1.7 Desktop env: Gnome Kernel 4.49.92-1 CPU: Core i7-7700HQ Integrated GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 630 (Kaby Lake GT2) GPU: GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile Steps: Create file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and write content blacklist nouveau Add to kernel params acpi_rev_override=1 Install bumblebee pacman -S bumblebee Enable it systemctl enable bumblebeed Start it systemctl start bumble…

I have reinstalled Linux on my laptop a lot times and the above options always works for me with KDE and Gnome.
Eventually I tired and now I have both systems:
Windows for games
Linux for work
Believe, it's better than try to play in Linux currently now

I don't know why, but I'm feeling that Linux will be nice for gaming too after 2-4 years
Currently now Wine able to work with Proton as a proxy for DirectX with Nvidia drivers only (without Intel or hybryd).
And as I know even Microsoft supports Wine, there just one issue - Bumblebee not working with Proton as you expecting or not working definitely.

Yes, and another stuff:
If you unable to run some apps with bumblebee -b none nvidia-settings -c :8, then try to use primusrun.

Good luck!

I think I ran into the same issue with my new Dell XPS 15 7590 laptop containing an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (I believe).

UPDATE: The nouveau.modeset=0 kernel parameter didn't change the issue for me.
I'll try this guide next.
