Hi, I probably do some silly mistake, but I can't manage it to work. I have NVIDIA GeForce GT630M (2 GB memory, 96 CUDA cores) and I followed http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#The_repository_way to install original drivers to be able to use full power of the chip. $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)

Uh. This is Optimus technology, isn't it? Yes, it is: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m. I think you need to install the butterfly package as well, as it is mentioned in https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#Easy_way_to_get_NVIDIA_drivers. See also http://bumblebee-project.org/.

I installed it (version 3 from šumski's repository). I did it over again with same result (see below). When I installed x11-video-nvidiaG02, it also installed x11-video-nvidiaG03 and related nvidia-... packages. And yes, I'm member of video and bubmblebee groups.

...

I installed the x11-video-nvidiaG02 package and run as root nvidia-xconfig, but after reboot X doesn't start. From boot log: BTW, on the page you mentioned is nothing written about running the "nvidia-xconfig" command. I never had to do this.

I installed nvidia-settings providing config tool hidden in tray. If I run it or not doesn't change result. It is IMHO run during installation of the driver.

...

nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

This is correct, it is always shown when loading the driver and has nothing to do with its function. The license taints the GPL'ed kernel (by being not open source), but it works.

OK

This might be because of the dual video chipset in your box. I only found a russian text about it, http://ru.opensuse.org/SDB:NVidia_Optimus, but no translations.

It has only Nvidia graphic card. BIOS has no setting related to graphic card.

...

I haven't try to use firmware downloaded from Nvidia's site, I'd rather use the repository. Now I'm using xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau.

Hi, I probably do some silly mistake, but I can't manage it to work. I have NVIDIA GeForce GT630M (2 GB memory, 96 CUDA cores) and I followed http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#The_repository_way to install original drivers to be able to use full power of the chip. $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)

Uh. This is Optimus technology, isn't it? Yes, it is: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m. I think you need to install the butterfly package as well, as it is mentioned in <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#Easy_way_to_get_NVIDIA_driver s>. See also http://bumblebee-project.org/.

Previously not. After reading it, still don't get the point...

BTW, in supportedchips.html in this directory you can see that x11-video-nvidiaG03 supports the GT630M chip so that you can uninstall the G02 variants, just to avoid that they fight each other.

in your first post? There are two graphics controllers, and bumblebee should allow switching between them.

Hehe... HP's product page lists just the Nvidia as graphic card, so that I automatically supposed it has only one card. Neither product specifications mention 2 graphic controllers. Confusing.

...

Nvidia generates this xorg.conf: I use nvidia drivers, and I have no xorg.conf. If you work on real hardware, there are way too many "vmware" and "vbox" entries in this file.

Yes, and now we see that the driver does not find any device.

Yes, but why?

I use VirtualBox (if that matters), but I have no idea why there is any vmware section - I haven't installed it and I'm not going to install it. I also lost boot splash screen although all packages should be installed. Well, never mind at all. ;-)

Ahem... are you installing the driver inside a VirtualBox VM? If not, you can delete all this, and all the VMWare things too. It is there to give openSUSE some help when started inside a virtual machine, not on a host that runs VirtualBox or VMWare Player. I suggest you rename xorg.conf to something that xorg does not look for, like xorg.conf.nonsense ;-). So xorg's autodetect feature will be startet, and might become successful.

I installed openSUSE to real HW, HP ENVY dv6 notebook. I also use it as VirtualBox host. You mean, that xorg.conf should be recreated during startup? ;-)

You might have to run mkinitrd again to have a splash screen fitting to the detectd X display device. If there is any...

OK, did you read then? Or any other file in this directory?

Previously not. After reading it, still don't get the point...

The driver may be installed normally on Optimus systems, but the NVIDIA X driver and the NVIDIA OpenGL driver may not be able to display to the laptop's internal display panel unless a means to connect the panel to the NVIDIA GPU (for example, a hardware multiplexer, or "mux", often controllable by a BIOS setting) is available.

You may need an external display to use the nvidia driver...

Hm. :-/

...

...

BTW, in supportedchips.html in this directory you can see that x11-video-nvidiaG03 supports the GT630M chip so that you can uninstall the G02 variants, just to avoid that they fight each other.

Why didn't I stayed with Intel graphics?

I do not know :-) But the make the fewest trouble on laptops.

...

...

I installed (for my G96 [GeForce 9400 GT]): - nvidia-computeG03-319.32-15.1.x86_64 - nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop-319.32_k3.7.10_1.1-15.1.x86_64 - x11-video-nvidiaG03-319.32-15.1.x86_64 all from http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3

Now I have only the 03 packages. When I run # nvidia-debugdump --dumpall FATAL: Module nvidia not found. NVIDIA: failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Error: nvmlInit(): Driver Not Loaded # nvidia-modprobe FATAL: Module nvidia not found. # rpm -qa |grep nvidia nvidia-settings-290.10-1.9.x86_64 nvidia-computeG03-319.32-15.1.x86_64 nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop-319.32_k3.7.10_1.1-15.1.x86_64 x11-video-nvidiaG03-319.32-15.1.x86_64 # rpm -qa |grep bumblebee bumblebee-2.4.1-4.1.x86_64 I feel lost. :-(

Don't :-). Better check if all the files are there. For example, with "rpm -ql nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop" you see the files that should be there. Among these, ther is the module that you cannot load.

The following command should be entered in one line:

for DAT in $(rpm -ql nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop) ; do if [ -e "$DAT" ]; then echo "exist: $DAT"; else echo "missing: $DAT"; fi; done

As a shell script, you can use:

#!/bin/bash for MOD in nvidia-computeG03 nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop \ x11-video-nvidiaG03; do echo "checking: $MOD" for DAT in $(rpm -ql "$MOD"); do if [ -e "$DAT" ]; then echo "exist: $DAT" else echo "missing: $DAT" fi done done

No error here. I reinstalled the packages anyway to be sure. ;-)

If any file ist missing (according to "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." this should be the case with ), re-install the package with "zypper in -f "$packagename. For me, it happened sometimes, that uninstalling one version of a kmp removed a file that belonged to another kmp too. So maybe the uninstall of the G02 packages caused the removal of the nvidia.ko file.

# nvidia-modprobe FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/3.7.10-1.16-desktop/weak- updates/updates/nvidia.ko): No such device # find /lib -name nvidia.ko -print /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.16-desktop/weak-updates/updates/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.1-desktop/updates/nvidia.ko WTF? Should I blacklist the nouveau driver to force loading of nvidia?

NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 319.32 Wed Jun 19 15:51:20 PDT 2013 2013-08-06T08:20:17.400659+02:00 veles kdm[948]: X server died during startup 2013-08-06T08:20:17.401228+02:00 veles kdm[948]: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled

This might be because of the dual video chipset in your box. I only found a russian text about it, http://ru.opensuse.org/SDB:NVidia_Optimus, but no translations.

It has only Nvidia graphic card. BIOS has no setting related to graphic card.

Pardon? Didn't I read

$ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)

in your first post? There are two graphics controllers, and bumblebee should allow switching between them.

Hehe... HP's product page lists just the Nvidia as graphic card, so that I automatically supposed it has only one card. Neither product specifications mention 2 graphic controllers. Confusing.

...

...

Nvidia generates this xorg.conf: I use nvidia drivers, and I have no xorg.conf. If you work on real hardware, there are way too many "vmware" and "vbox" entries in this file.

...

It does't work. This is report of Xorg log:

Hm. On my box, "rpm -qf /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so" gives glamor-0.5-3.1.3.x86_64, directly from openSUSE distro. Do you have another version? Where does it come from?

I use openSUSE 12.3 64 bit, rpm -qf /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so glamor-0.5-3.1.3.x86_64 from main OSS repository.

Ha. Thank you :-). I never noticed that my Xorg.0.log shows the same error. At least we can say that it is not critical for the nvidia driver, because it works for me...

...

...

...

[ 71.445] (EE) No devices detected.

Yes, and now we see that the driver does not find any device.

Yes, but why?

Because the driver does not like optimus. Oh, optimus and the driver are from the same manufacturer? Never mind, in Windows everything is fine. Huh, am I sarcastic?

Well, I turned the notebook on, I saw license agreement of Windows and HP, I restarted notebook it with openSUSE DVD inside. ;-) Now I try to push HP to give me back money for unused license of WIndows. ;-) Also big fun. ;-)

...

...

...

I use VirtualBox (if that matters), but I have no idea why there is any vmware section - I haven't installed it and I'm not going to install it. I also lost boot splash screen although all packages should be installed. Well, never mind at all. ;-)

Ahem... are you installing the driver inside a VirtualBox VM? If not, you can delete all this, and all the VMWare things too. It is there to give openSUSE some help when started inside a virtual machine, not on a host that runs VirtualBox or VMWare Player. I suggest you rename xorg.conf to something that xorg does not look for, like xorg.conf.nonsense ;-). So xorg's autodetect feature will be startet, and might become successful.

I installed openSUSE to real HW, HP ENVY dv6 notebook. I also use it as VirtualBox host. You mean, that xorg.conf should be recreated during startup? ;-)

No, there is no xorg.conf any more, for several versions of openSUSE now (since sax2 was abandoned). There is a magic feature in xorg that does a lot autodetecting, and the directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, where you will find many snippets from the former xorg.conf. In 50-device conf you can define your own constellation, but it should not be necessary. See http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards for a small example (but replace "nv" with "nvidia"). Here you even are allowed to create a file xorg.conf ;-)

Of course, autodetection - as any kind of magic - can go wrong...

Although there is no error in log. Might be more tuning file would fix it?

I still wish good luck :-) Werner

If any file ist missing (according to "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." this should be the case with ), re-install the package with "zypper in -f "$packagename. For me, it happened sometimes, that uninstalling one version of a kmp removed a file that belonged to another kmp too. So maybe the uninstall of the G02 packages caused the removal of the nvidia.ko file.

Yes. And you may also have to adjust the INITRD_MODULES="..." variable in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (remove nouvau if it's in there, add nvidia). Then run mkinitrd.

Done, no change, still using nouveau.

I'm not sure about that 'weak_updates' stuff, IIRC

/lib/modules/3.7.10-1.16-desktop/weak-updates/updates/nvidia.ko

should be a symlink to

/lib/modules/3.7.10-1.1-desktop/updates/nvidia.ko

Yes, its is.

This is probably due to nouveau being in the initrd and being loaded from there during boot (c.f. "modeset" / KMS). Adding "nomodeset" to as kernel-parameter might help too.

...

What is the DRM?

A Direct Rendering Method/Model (?) used by X / the Kernel to access the hardware, c.f. also DRI and KMS, en.wikipedia.org should have entries to all those acronyms (just make sure with "DRM" to not confuse that with the digital restrictions management).

BTW:

a) there's sax3 in the repos, no idea how that works though (see before sig)

I tried. It doesn't seem to be very useful right now. It created 99- saxdevice.conf, 99-saxmonitors.conf and 99-saxscreen.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and the device section knew just Intel driver. After changing to nvidia, X didn't start. I deleted those configuration files.

b) you can have Xorg generate a "complete" xorg.conf as "autodetected" by running 'X -configure' and use that as a starting point for tweaking. You should move xorg.conf.d though in that case (e.g. move it to xorg.conf.d.SUSE) and use the "complete" generated and tweaked /etc/X11/xorg.conf from then on.

==== man Xorg ==== -configure When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware, and writes out an initial xorg.conf(5) file based on what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration process. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0). ====

IIRC it prints the generated config on stdout and does not overwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but better check that resp. save a xorg.conf if you have one.

HTH, -dnh, whose xorg.conf is largely the same as the XF86Config that I used since ~1999 starting with SuSE 6.2 / XFree 3.3.6 ;) Twice I tweaked the Monitor section, a couple of times the Device section, and a few times the input sections.

Hehe. It seems to be the only possibility to play with xorg.conf enough long... Thank You for all advices, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

Should I blacklist the nouveau driver to force loading of nvidia?

Yes. And you may also have to adjust the INITRD_MODULES="..." variable in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (remove nouvau if it's in there, add nvidia). Then run mkinitrd.

Done, no change, still using nouveau.

After changing this, you have to re-create the initrd. Did you use the mkinitrd command?

Of course. :-)

...

...

BTW:

a) there's sax3 in the repos, no idea how that works though (see

before sig)

I tried. It doesn't seem to be very useful right now. It created 99- saxdevice.conf, 99-saxmonitors.conf and 99-saxscreen.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and the device section knew just Intel driver. After changing to nvidia, X didn't start. I deleted those configuration files.

It might have caused the intel graphics controller to work, after you created a new initrd (and maybe rebooted from it).

# nvidia-modprobe FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/3.7.10-1.16-desktop/weak- updates/updates/nvidia.ko): No such device

For me, a simple "modprobe nvidia" works.

This should not happen, since the module should be blacklisted (see Andrey's post).

But I'm confused now. :-) Still.

...

IIRC it prints the generated config on stdout and does not overwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but better check that resp. save a xorg.conf if you have one.

On http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards under "5th thing" it is written that 'Xorg -configure' will create the file /root/xorg.conf.new.

Yes, I saw, but anyway, it is not usable without long tweaking... But it seems to be the only way as far as I see...

...

...

HTH, -dnh, whose xorg.conf is largely the same as the XF86Config that I

used since ~1999 starting with SuSE 6.2 / XFree 3.3.6 ;) Twice I tweaked the Monitor section, a couple of times the Device section, and a few times the input sections.

Werner, who uses nvidia drivers without any xorg.conf for quite some time now :-)

Yes. And you may also have to adjust the INITRD_MODULES="..." variable in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (remove nouvau if it's in there, add nvidia). Then run mkinitrd.

Done, no change, still using nouveau.

After changing this, you have to re-create the initrd. Did you use the mkinitrd command?

Of course. :-)

...

...

BTW:

a) there's sax3 in the repos, no idea how that works though (see

before sig)

I tried. It doesn't seem to be very useful right now. It created 99- saxdevice.conf, 99-saxmonitors.conf and 99-saxscreen.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and the device section knew just Intel driver. After changing to nvidia, X didn't start. I deleted those configuration files.

It might have caused the intel graphics controller to work, after you created a new initrd (and maybe rebooted from it).

This should not happen, since the module should be blacklisted (see Andrey's post).

I added nouveau to blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf: # lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09)

So? It looks better. Although bumblebee doesn't run: # optirun glxgears The Bumblebee X server was not available, please check the Bumblebee logfile at /var/log/bumblebee.log ==================================================

Now, I'm unsure about logs, because they don't show real time and don't make sens. :-)

Quite right. I love systemds logs :-\

Obviously, bumblebee always uses tne nouveau module. Can you configure bumblebee somehow in that respect? Or is it all magic?

I edited /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf to use nvidia driver.

Sigh. Once more I am conviced to never buy a notebook with anything else than intel graphics...

If just Nvidia card with original driver would be in use, I'm fine. But I'm confused now. :-) Still.

IIRC it prints the generated config on stdout and does not overwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but better check that resp. save a xorg.conf if you have one.

On http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards under "5th thing" it is written that 'Xorg -configure' will create the file /root/xorg.conf.new.

Yes, I saw, but anyway, it is not usable without long tweaking... But it seems to be the only way as far as I see...

...

HTH, -dnh, whose xorg.conf is largely the same as the XF86Config that I

used since ~1999 starting with SuSE 6.2 / XFree 3.3.6 ;) Twice I tweaked the Monitor section, a couple of times the Device section, and a few times the input sections.

Werner, who uses nvidia drivers without any xorg.conf for quite some time now :-)

Have a nice day! Vojtěch

http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/ Where do you have nouveau blacklisted. When I install Nvidia drivers (usually the hardwayand using jdmcdaniel's lnvhw script) it creates a file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf. That is where it blacklists nouveau.

Code ----------- # Date Added by LNVHW: Wed Aug 7 15:30:01 PDT 2013 blacklist nouveau /Code ---------- There is also a file call 50-nvidia.conf and I think the system creates that but Nouveau is not blacklisted there or in 50-blacklist.conf. You may want to try blacking in the nvidia files if you have them.

You jumped in to play Mail Police, rather than just letting that slide Patrick?

Just because *you* frequently quote excessively, are you feeling you have been affronted? If the shoe fits .... And, really not a problem about "letting that slide" as it just continues and .... Just try to be polite and resorting to name calling will not be necessary as unfitting as it is and how it reflects on *you*.
