nouveau auto-detection not working? #631
Comments
it works for me with 3.8.0 - 3.8.5, so I guess it may be your setup. "modprobe: FATAL: Module bbswitch not found." indicates, that the required modules are not built for your kernel. |
It worked for over a year now (including 3.17.7 kernel) and I (think I) didn't change anything. When the module is not built for my kernel, how can it still work? EDIT: |
I think the issue is, that modprobe doesn't find bbswitch anymore for some reasons.. I guess bumblebee doesn't check whether bbswitch is already loaded or not :/ |
Does running these commands help? (as root) dkms add -m bbswitch -v 0.8.0 |
Thanks for the answers, I got held up in the afternoon:
Has this something to do with the fact that nvidia and nouveau are both blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf ? DKMS commands didn't help:
|
no, this is no problem at all. You should be able to run |
Hmm,
bumblebee works as expected now, i.e. Intel card is used after boot and I can use optirun. [I use nouveau drivers, not nvidia] |
See issue #582 for using bumblebee with nouveau driver in fedora. My experiences were that bumblebee-nouveau package was required. (and xorg-x11-drv-modesetting had to be removed) But it sounds like maybe you've got it figured out now? Were you trying to use nouveau or nvidia module with bumblebee? |
I wasn't using the bumblebee-nouveau-package so I installed it now and reverted the changes in /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf, but the problems are the same as before. |
Hum, this could be autodetection not working if nouveau isn’t loaded. Should take a look at that. |

Bumblebee Version: optirun (Bumblebee) 3.2.1
Hi, I discovered that Bumblebee stopped working after updating my Kernel.
The latest version i have installed is 3.18.3-201 and there isn't even the bumblee deamon running (calling optirun in terminal), nor can't I start it as modprobe doesn't find the bbswitch module (bumblebeed --daemon). I tried to re-install both, bbswitch and bumblebee, via yum but that didn't change anything.
When i boot 3.17.7-300 from GRUB it still works and my dedicated NVIDIA GPU is turned off; but also bumblebeed --daemon displays:
modprobe: FATAL: Module bbswitch not found.
I recently installed VirtualBox, following the instructions given here:
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-virtualbox-with-yum-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/
Besides that, i didn't do anything more unusual than yum update
Any tips appreciated.
