[SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

SOLVED: See post #20

After years, I decided to come back to the wonderful distro, Arch and back to the forums. Yay!

However, I installed Arch to my new laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad W530 and it uses NVIDIA Quadro K1000M alongside Intel graphics with Optimus technology. Arch is running fine, but I cannot run applications through optirun and I get:

[exitium@rambutan ~]$ optirun -vv nvidia-settings

[  485.537229] [DEBUG]Killing all remaining processes.

As seen, it says "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU". I have tried different solutions found from these forums and several other places but none of them have worked - the problem remains same. Does anyone have idea how I could fix this? I read somewhere else that there could be issues with newest nvidia drivers - is this possible?

bumblebee.conf:

#   Setting ProbeAllGpus to false prevents the new proprietary driver

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

Hi,
check your dmesg output, if you see some outputs like this (like me) 

ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20130517/nsarguments-95)

Mine bumblebee output is excatly the same. You can also downgrade to an older kernel version. Seems like a bug in acpi, see bumblebee bug attached:

https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch/issues/65

EDIT:
to specify the used packages, they are old from my cache, so its possible that other combinations will work
linux: 3.8.11-1
nvidia: 313.30-5
nvidia-utils: 313.30-5
bbswitch: 0.6-5

i've added all 4 packages to ignorepkg in pacman.conf

Yea, I got the same output... So I should try downgrading. Thanks for the info!

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

Hi!
Just to inform you, the up2date kernel (3.11.2-1) seems to fix the problem.
i did following update:

core/linux         3.8.11-1 -> 3.11.2-1
extra/nvidia-utils 313.30-2 -> 325.15-1
extra/nvidia       313.30-5 -> 325.15-7
community/bbswitch 0.6-5    -> 0.7-14

Still some nasty acpi warnings and i think it can't really disable the card again but the nvidia card seems to work again:

[shawn@pointbeta ~]$ optirun glxinfo  | grep vendor
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: primus
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

Hello. Apparently I have exactly same versions of packages, but no difference. The problem remains same...

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

Just in case,

Have you checked what happens on the second attempt?
I have the same problem as you (GTX 765M), but on the second attempt it works. The third fails again, the fourth success.  It keeps alternating like that.

Yes. No difference.

Btw, I upgraded the kernel and nvidia drivers once again - and problem is still the same. This is frustrating.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

If i recall correctly, and please correct me if i am wrong or this isnt related to the issue.
Bumblebee, nvidia, and bbswitch needs to be recompiled when there is a new linux/linux-headers update.
So after a new linux is out, reboot. Reinstall the above mentioned packages and reboot again. This should solve many of the problems occurring.

Its a optirun glxgears with primus bridge.
For sure you have to recompile the nvidia and the bbswitch module after a new kernel.
Im pretty sure that the nvidia card is working cause if i start EUIV it has a proper output and runs very smooth. The intel card give some graphic bugs and lags around (when i tested last time).

Edit:

atm im running the following kernel/nvidia

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

I suggest you to try the dkms version of each package and tell us the result

nvidia-dkms
bbswitch-dkms
bumblebee (this one does not need to be dkms)

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

Hi,

i think your problem is also related to this:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi … er-crash/1

i (or we) are missing the fallen of the bus message.
For me i also have this acpi errors and its working (for now).

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

Personally I got tiered of messing with this issue on my W530 (K2000M video card) and just switched to the open source NV driver and have had no issues. But to be honest the only reason I needed the bumblebee setup was so that I could attach a external monitor. In all reality if you are not doing CAD work or playing intense games the open source driver works just fine. And lets be honest if you are a gamer you would not have bought the W530 you would have gotten a gaming setup not a workstation setup (workstation video card).

I personally got it for coding and VM work (32G of Ram quad core  room for 3 drives yeaha...) so in my use case the open source driver has worked great and no issues period! It just works. Now if you are doing something else you may need the NVidea driver but if all you need is a way to setup external monitors then the open source driver is the way to go.

Any ways just my 2 cents. take it or leave it.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

rdjack21, can you do CUDA calculations when using open source drivers? Answer here

I hope the open source drivers improve in the high-performance capabilities now that SteamOS is coming.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

BTW: I'm having the same issue with a W530 with K200M graphics card.  I tried the DKMS versions but without any changes.  I need the card for CUDA so at the moment nv is unfortunately not an option. . .

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

Tried this solution here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi … 1/#3982241

No changes, even though I tried with ck-generic and ck-ivybridge. Argh.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

After giving a while and trying again - it works!

And it actually works perfectly with linux-ck-ivybridge kernel and given boot parameter. The reason why it didn't work was completely my stupid fault and a little "forget" - I forgot to modify syslinux.cfg with new kernel big_smile Oops.

So all you have to do is

1) Install correct ck kernel and nvidia packages using this page (on W530, it's ck-ivybridge): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/repo-ck
2) Add rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1 as a boot parameter
3) Remember to modify to boot from the correct kernel smile (vmlinuz-linux -> vmlinuz-linux-ck and same to initramfs). Don't be an idiot like me.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

Yeah, I have been using the ck kernel for a while with success.

Out of curiosity, does steam work on your system.  I'm unable to make it work, and I wonder if it has anything to do with this setup.  Would you mind tesing it?

Thank you. The ck kernel and nvidia did the trick wink thx for this.

Thank you so much for posting this! I was struggling around for a year now, using nouveau driver on my ThinkPad W530 with Nvidia K2000M.

My working configuration now uses ck-ivybridge and the two kernel parameters: nox2apic and rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1. Without nox2apic the system won't boot.

Kind regards,
