Asus N550JV

All information used to be in this comment moved to this laptop's wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ASUS_N550JV

suggest me some ideas or add some information at your own to this wiki page. Also check out for grammar and my mistakes. I am human as everyone else and I spent today few hours on this page to make it fat and helpful smile

Re: Asus N550JV

Do you get messages when system start boot from CD or after it installed on Laptop like that:

Nouveau E[    PBUS][0000:01:00.0] MIMO write of 0x00000002 FAULT at 0x4188ac [ IBUS]
Nouveau E[    DRM] Pointer to TMDS table invalid
Nouveau E[    DRM] Pointer to flat panel table invalid

How it can be recognized?

Now trying install Arch Linux on my N550jv smile.

:
well, I always get these warnings or whatever it is. Just ignore them. If you can't see "login" where you need to put your username and password in the console - just hit "enter".

EDIT: sorry, they are not appearing anymore, but they used to. Just ignore it. I see it's somehow related to Nouveau GPU driver - I installed bumblebee together with "nvidia" driver. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … l.2FNVIDIA and these lines aren't showing anymore for me:)

2nd EDIT: I think I didn't get these lines when booting up from my Android phone (google play: drivedroid), CD or USB, but I used to get after fresh install of Arch linux when I boot up. As I said - I don't see these lines anymore. again - ignore them.

Re: Asus N550JV

At the moment have successfully installed the system using the December ISO image. However, during the installation process noticed another problem. In the process of launching noticed the message "Failed to start Load/Save RF Kill Switch Status of rfkill2". Have you ever faced something similar? According to information found on the forum and Wiki this message is associated with some Bluetooth functionality. Decided to defer consideration so as not affected seriously....

I install Gummiboot and have been runing in UEFI.

So now play with X server and Gnome installation and configurations....

Tried with gummiboot and grub (currently now I am using grub. Trust me - no difference).

Try to install "rfkill" if you haven't. Not sure if it helped, but I still sometimes see "rfkill failed to <something>" during boot.

EDIT: 2 reasons why I don't use bluetooth and I don't have any bluetooth software (bluez and bluetooth): bluetooth manager stays one out of five top ram eating processes AND I don't use bluetooth anyway.

Re: Asus N550JV

Do you add any settings in  xorg.conf? Can you show what your config? smile
And did you any configurations with /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf?

I install bumblebee. Service bumblebeed in Active state. But optirun glxspheres64 show errors...

I install bumblebee. Service bumblebeed in Active state. But optirun glxspheres64 show errors...

Let me tell you what I have done.
1. I uncommented multilib on pacman.conf.
2. Installed "sudo pacman -S xorg xorg-xinit" if I spelled xorg-xinit correctly.
3. Installed "sudo pacman -S mesa-dri xf86-video-intel nvidia lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-mesa-dri primus" (and of course, "bumblebee" and "bbswitch").
4. sudo gpasswd -a <your_user> bumblebee
5. reboot



then, the command

$ optirun glxgears -info

failed, so if you check out wiki page of bumblebee, you can see there If it fails, try (on a 64 bit system):, run this command:

$ optirun glxspheres64 -info

and it should work smile

by the way, primusrun is the way better idea. at first, you might find this slower than optirun. it's because (somewhere clearly says that, google) uses less power and better performance. less power because the VSYNC is enabled by default, so you might want to disable it and check again. temporary solution could be:

$ vblank_mode=0 primusrun glxspheres64 -info

and of course, if you like that and you intend to use it, make your own executable by following this tutorial: http://askubuntu.com/questions/297596/v … sktop-file

if you still want to see my

/etc/xorg.conf

, there it is. I VERY RECOMMEND you to make backup of your file if you wanna copy-->paste my configuration wink

Re: Asus N550JV

Hello! Last week I return to Archlinux. Now installed from ISO 01.01.16. Working everything smile
1) no problems with sound;
2) keyboard backlight by hotkeys - working;
3) screen brightness by hotkeys - working;
and all other according Wiki...

https://habrastorage.org/files/ccd/9c1/ … f64989.png

The main objectives for me is JS+NodeJS coding (and some strings on Python), VirtualBox emulations, GNS3 emulations, video editing with Pitivi for Youtube.

Posotove results believe more responsive than Windows 7/8, more stable than Windows 10, more updated than Debian Base, easy than RPM base... And applications from OpenSource World reached the state in which more meet my needs than previously.

During OS/Apps installation answers to any questions I could find in ArchWiki/This forum.

Mod note: Please don't post huge images: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_code

It's great that you have everything working. Since this is an old thread and the original poster seems to be banned, I will be closing this thread. Please open a new thread for any problem you encounter.
