[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
I have the same bug on mint 17.2 cinnamon 64 bit, ver. 2.6.13, kernel: 3.19.0-22-generic, card nvidia GTF108M (GeForce GT 635M). After fresh install it all worked well, but system asked for updates in next days so I did. Because my card was running rather hot (60-70 degrees of Celsius) and depleted batter in 20 minutes (1-1,5 hour work time on windows 8.1), I updated kernel to the newest one from update manager. After I rebooted system, nvidia shows that default driver in power saving mode is turned on. Attempt to switch back to nvidia results in some empty cloud message and nothing happens (default generic driver is again marked as on). However I noticed that computers is not heating any more and my battery life extended to 50 minutes. Graphic seems to be fine as far I can tell at the moment so I decided to let this problem go + I'm newbie in linux and I'm afraid that any attempts to fix it would only mess my installation. However it would be nice to be able to choose the drivers/card - at the moment I can't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
I was unable to switch to my Nvidia gtx 555m using prime indicator, bumblebee or manually through the nvidia server settings application. When changing with the command $ prime-select nvidia the terminal would show that the change occurred however I am positive this wasn't the case as I could not get a frame rate above 15 on a 64 emulator. I managed to somehow fix this issue by doing the following: (quotations are only containing the contents of the commands I used, as none are used in them, so only enter whats inside them) 1.Remove primus, nvidia server settings and purge nvidia drivers: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* 2.Install prime, prime indicator through the terminal sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime sudo apt-get install prime-indicator sysinfo with nvidia server settings as an add on through software centre 3. Install Nvidia driver 340.65 (http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/12/install- nvidia-340-65-ubuntu-1504/) 4. Change to Nvidia gpu using terminal command sudo prime-select nvidia Note prime indicator and server settings both display that they're using Intel Integrated graphics however I get a solid 60 fps emulating, video's aren't laggy in general and what once was a black screen for some graphical programs now work fine. ps I'm not sure if every install is necessary but I just listed what I did, I'm not experienced with Linux but no forums were helping me with my problem and I noticed a lot of people having the same issue.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.91.6 --- ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.91.6) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py, debian/tests/system, tests/ubuntu_drivers.py: - Do not autoinstall the broadcom driver. The open driver should be a better solution now (LP: #1306928), as the binary driver prevents a number of systems from using the wireless card. - Autoinstall linux-firmware-nonfree. This will help now that we no longer autoinstall Broadcom's binary driver. - Fix the relevant tests now that linux-firmware-nonfree has replaced bcmwl. * gpu-manager.c, tests/gpu-manager.py: - Ignore CRT displays when using PRIME. This works around systems whose BIOS provides a ghost output (LP: #1296020). - Check that we don't remove xorg.confs on 1st boot (as per the previous SRU). - Try harder when loading bbswitch (LP: #1310023). If loading bbswitch fails try with or without the skip_optimus_dsm=1 option. Also, make sure that we trim dmi resources or matching will give us false positives. - Switch to intel/SNA for optimus systems (LP: #1326257). - Make sure to unload nvidia-uvm or nvidia won't be unloaded. - Make sure to walk properly the /dev/dri dir. This prevents the program from stopping when, for example /dev/dri/card1 is available while /dev/dri/card0 is not. -- Alberto Milone alberto.mil...@canonical.com Fri, 06 Jun 2014 11:20:28 +0200 ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
Hi, I was asked to test the proposed fix. I did so by installing Ubuntu 14.04 desktop on a Dell Latitude 3440 which has an Intel Haswell chipset, as well as an NVidia GK208M (Geforce GT 740M), PCI ID 10de:1292. With the clean system as described, I enabled -proposed from software centre. Then I did apt-get update and apt-get install ubuntu-drivers- common (it installed version 1:0.2.91.6). after that I used software centre's additional drivers tab to install NVidia binary driver - nvidia-331-updates. THen I rebooted and checked which driver is in use, it's nvidia and not nouveau as previously. I'm attaching my gpu-manager.log after I did all this. I'm unsure if this testing is adequate; but my system is used for testing only so I'm happy to retry and/or reinstall anything needed. ** Attachment added: gpu-manager.log https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1310023/+attachment/4187542/+files/gpu-manager.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

fyi I've updated the hybrid wiki page to add (ie clone) a section in the intro explaining it's referring to the dual either-or GPU situation in laptops not the dual cooperative-GPUs multihead desktop situation. For my multi-head troubles I think from here I just have to experiment with Xinerama and try and get xrandr to recognise everything. cheers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
@Hamish: I should probably make nvidia-settings more robust so that it handles cases such as yours. I wouldn't expect bbswitch to work on a desktop, although graphics offloading should still work. Right now, if bbswitch is not available or it doesn't work, the gpu-manager will change the alternatives and select mesa as a fallback. I should make the gpu-manager a bit more tolerant, so that it will still try to do the offloading when bbswitch is not supported (or not available). I've filed LP: #1349282 and I'll work on it. This should cover your specific use case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
strangely a custom symlink for nvidia_drv.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ and changing sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf from nouveau to nvidia-331 kept on being undone in the filesystem. Quite unexpected for those changes to undo themselves. ?! Anyway, after removing the nvidia-prime and bbswitch packages from my system that's no longer happening, so I guess I can blame them. :) I still don't have multi-head working but at least the nvidia driver is found in Xorg.0.log now, so I guess the rest is up to me, xorg.conf, and Xinerama or modern equivalent, and I can stop spamming this ticket. regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Kubuntu 14.04: After installing http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/1:0.2.91.6 and apt-get purge nvidia* apt-get install nvidia-331 for the first time, update-initramfs triggers were not processed according to apt-get console output.

** Description changed: + SRU Request + + On some systems bbswitch requires the skip_optimus_dsm=1 option in + order to load properly. So far we have dealt with this problem with + system specific quirks based on DMI information.

I use a XPS 15z laptop form Dell with hybrid graphics (Intel HD 3000 (probably) and Nvidia Geforce GT 525M). Booting doesn't work out of the box, but by setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=acpi_backlight=vendor dell_laptop.backlight=0 quiet splash in /etc/default/grub it works. acpi=off when installing, removed that from the grub file when installed. I expected that the Prime feature introduced in kernel 3.12 (kernel 3.13.x here) would let me switch between the Intel and Nvidia cards as i like, instead of using Bumblebee, which doesn't work properly with everything. I've installed and tried both the nvidia-331 and nvidia-304 drivers. Exactly the same result from both. Attempting to switch to the Nvidia card in nvidia-settings (tried on almost all of the drivers available, including 331.38) resulted in an error message, in a new window, with no text. prime-switch in terminal gives this output: Segmentation fault (core dumped) Sudoing the process gives no output at all. No graphical performance boost either, still the Intel card... sudo prime-select nvidia gives this output: Error: alternatives are not set up properly Error: nvidia mode can't be enabled I've also tried Bumblebee (not PPA) a few times, but it's also unable to switch.

[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
Hi, I'm seeing the same thing on a fresh install of xubuntu 14.04. Once it was installed I did the search for restricted drivers thing and picked the top nvidia choice on the list: 331.38-0ubuntu7 In nvidia-settings if I try to switch away from Intel I get an empty pop up with just a no-entry road sign graphic and [Ok] button. from the command line is: ** Message: PRIME: Requires offloading ** Message: PRIME: is it supported? yes when nvidia-settings starts, and ERROR: when I try to click on NVIDIA (Performance Mode) when it asks which GPU I'd like to use. Interestingly, `nvidia-detector` returns none. $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1) my setup is 3 monitors, two being driven by the Intel on chip-HD, and the third being driven by the GeForce. I never did get the third monitor working with 12.04, but it is dual-boot with Windows7 and in Windows it all three work fine. A month or two back I booted the same system with a either a 14.04 beta1 or Mint live USB stick and all three monitors came to life in linux for the first time, so I'm quite hopeful that the new linux kernel is capable of good things. I never installed bumblebee, and 'dpkg -l' shows it listed as ^un. Would reminants of it have been pulled in during install so it would need a --purge anyway? `lsmod` shows that the 'nvidia' kernel module is loaded. some of dmesg: 11.293526] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

Today I purged bumblebee and installed nvidia-prime again and found the solution. The key is DO NOT REBOOT after changing video card in nvidia-settings. If you want to reboot right after the change, you MUST LOGOUT AND LOGIN then reboot, or, at least on my laptop, the discrete card will disappear from lspci and cannot be switched.

Exactly the same error for me. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 in a Dell Inspiron 14R 5421.

first of all, make sure to remove the bumblebee packages with sudo apt- get --purge remove Then please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, dmesg, and your /var/log /gpu-manager.log. ** Changed in: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Using bumblebee and nvidia-prime could be the issue Error: alternatives are not set up properly If prime-nvidia alone, still doesn't work, check this link.

[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
I didn't use Bumblebee and Prime at the same time, so that can't be the problem. The solution you propose might work, but I don't think I'll try it unless I get tired of Bumblebee.

[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
Have a similar problem. After debugging the prime-select code I noticed the alternatives found are both 'mesa' and this leeds the code to return either unknown when doing a query or Error: alternatives are not set up properly when trying to select either nvidia or intel. I attached the result of /usr/bin/update-alternatives --query x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf hope that it helps in getting a solution to the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
Seems like it can't find the nvidia one. Bumblebee also said couldn't find secondary GPU. I've tried following the wiki for the fix, but with no success. I then purge bumblebee and insalled nvidia-prime, but it gave me error. ** Attachment added: nvidia_error.jpg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+attachment/4090820/+files/nvidia_error.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
Okay: The Bumblebee version in the USC didn't work for me, but the PPA does... Think I'll stick to that solution until Prime gets fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1310023] Re: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card
Okay, somehow I think it switched by itself.. In the Nvidia settings it still says it's using the Intel card, but it seems that the Nvidia card is in use. I dualboot Ubuntu and Windows 7. After playing Portal 2 a bit over there, I turned the computer off and then booted into Ubuntu. I tried to log out after attempting to switch card, with the error message still being shown when i logged out. It must have worked in a way. Minecraft SEEMS to run as fast as it did on 12.04 when using Bumblebee. I'll be checking out a few more things, just to be sure, but I think this might have solved my problem partially. The settings say that I'm using the Intel card, but I don't think so.
