[SOLVED] Bumblebee not working with Linux-ck

OdinEidolon · 2016-08-04 07:16:15

I just installed linux-ck-skylake 4.6.5-2 and nvidia-ck-skylake 367.35-1, while on the default kernel I use linux 4.6.4-1 (arch default) and the same nvidia driver (package "nvidia").
In both cases the bumblebee packages installed are bbswitch 0.8-50 and bumblebee 3.2.1-12.

When I boot linux, all is fine. When I boot inux-ck, it looks like the Nvidia card is always on. In both cases the Nvidia card works fine, the only difference seems to be that it's always on linux-ck.

If I try to rmmod nvidia_modeset nvidia:

sudo rmmod -f  nvidia_modeset nvidia

All is fine, no error, but the modules remain loaded. The bumblebee service is active and running, with only a few warnings (WW).

dmesg is this, repeated hundreds of times (journalctl shows this as happening about once per 2-5 second):

How can I investigate this further?

I don't have answer for your question, because simple I have no idea what went wrong. What I want is to suggest replacing nvidia and nvidia-ck-whatever with nvidia-dkms. I had lts and ck kernels installed on bumblebee setup with nvidia-dkms in past and everything worked flawlessly.

Tried, and it looks like it works! Brilliant thanks. I'll test now with a real game (not glxgears) and set this as solved if I find it works flawlessly.
Thanks again.
