Nvidia fan issue with Bumblebee

Hello.

I have a Asus R510-dm205d with nvidia gforce 950M. The problem is that when I enable bumblebeed.service and restart the SO, the gpu fan starts to working at max speed. What can I do?. This is what I have done:


sudo pacman -Rc xf86-video-nouveau


sudo pacman -S bumblebee mesa xf86-video-intel nvidia lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-virtualgl lib32-mesa-libgl nvidia-settings bbswitch

sudo gpasswd -a $USER bumblebee
sudo gpasswd -a $USER video


sudo systemctl enable bumblebeed.service

sudo shutdown -r now



Thanks.

Re: Nvidia fan issue with Bumblebee

This was solved for me on my Asus GL552VW (with a 960M) by adding

acpi_osi=!

to the kernel boot command line.

Potentially a buggy DSDT, seems to only lose control of the fan when the card is powered down, I think that is happening when bumblebeed loads the driver and the driver tries to go into power save mode after a certain amount of idle time.

I'm not sure if you can turn this off, but if the acpi_osi parameter doesn't work and you can turn the automatic powersave off, you might not get the power saving but at least you wont have a jet engine laptop fan in the meantime.

Re: Nvidia fan issue with Bumblebee

Thank you md1flynn.

I add acpi_osi=! in my grub.cfg. That is:

...
linux    /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=12c6b83a-feeb-44bf-b07e-5d581a62bb66 rw  quiet nouveau.modeset=0 acpi_osi=!
...

Is it corrects?

But It doesn't work for me. How can I turn the automatic powersave off?

I'm not sure if the runtime PM can be disabled with nouveau, try setting

PMMethod=none

in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

If that doesn't work, try using the nvidia driver with PMMethod also set to "none".

Thank you, thank you, thank you!. I solve it adding acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009" to kernel parameters.
