[SOLVED] Bumblebee "Cannot access secondary GPU"

Greetings fellow Arch users!

The following is included in case it contains useful information regarding my current issue

The current issue arose when attempting to auto configure Xorg. Searching this forum and the wiki, following the output as shown below, led me onto installing configuring Bumblebee prior to looking at other solutions

Command:

Xorg :0 -configure

==================================================================

Here's some hardware/installation details on my laptop in question:

CPU: Intel i7 with Intel 630 graphics
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
Optimus: Always enabled (no bios option that I can see).
The only BIOS setting I changed was enabling VT-d

Kernel is up to date and is default.
I use systemd with microcodes enabled.
xorg.conf exists in /etc/X11 and is default generated. only generated from running nvidia-xconfig!

I have one entry in xorg,conf.d for the Intel graphics as follows:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Graphics"
        Driver          "modesetting"
        Option          "TearFree"      "true"
EndSection

When testing Bumblebee, I get this output:

[root@asgard thor]# optirun glxgears -info

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee "Cannot access secondary GPU"

nvidia-xconfig is only slightly better than xorg --configure .

If you remove xf86-video-intel X will automatically use modesetting for the intel card.

remove all xorg conf files, reboot to multi-user.target (check systemd wiki page) .
Then run startx and post log .
It will likely fail, but we need the info from X pov.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee "Cannot access secondary GPU"

OK, so I removed the intel conf file since it's not required.
I set multi-user.target as the default target.
I deleted xorg.conf

Looks like a permission issue, just figuring out what needs chmod changes...

That shows X sees 2 videocards and the one at PCI address 0:0:2:0 is set as default
You can verify which card that is by checking lspci output, my money is on it being the intel card.

[   143.802] (**) |   |-->Device "Nvidia Card"

Looks like some config file tells X there's an nvidia card but doesn't mention the intel card.

Which nvidia driver are you using ?
Search etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d for a file with device nvidia card in it, then post its contents.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee "Cannot access secondary GPU"

OK so I ran "chmod u+s /etc/X11/xinit/" and x server successfully starts.

Now when I run "Xorg :0 -configure", I get the same log as OP.

Now when I run "optirun glxgears -info" I get:

[    32.630675]  [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.
[    32.630967]  [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?

I have already enabled the service as explained in the wiki. I tried starting it manually after boot then trying to retest, but got the same error as in OP.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee "Cannot access secondary GPU"

Driver I am using is nvidia 390.48-3. Lspci says that the Nvidia card is using the nvidia driver.

0:0:2:0 is the Intel card as shown in OP.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is empty of any configs.
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d had one file with relevant info:

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    MatchDriver "i915"
    Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee "Cannot access secondary GPU"

*UPDATE*
I manually set the BusID for bumblebee in /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia to PCI:01:00:0 and now the daemon starts correctly.

Output of "optirun glxgears -info" is:

Error: couldn't open display (null)


"optirun glxgears -info" successfully runs

Output of "Xorg :0 -configure" is still same as OP. I'm unsure why.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee "Cannot access secondary GPU"

Even if Xorg -configure  did work it wouldn't fix any issue, but it is broken since a few years because it is completely unnecessary. It potentially got "accidentally" broken, but it will not ever fix anything if automatic detection would already be failing.

If you don't have an issue anymore other than that, please mark your topic as [SOLVED]

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee "Cannot access secondary GPU"

I have the same hardware as you do. I've been using nvidia-xrun because none of the optimus solutions resulted in good performance for me. Are you satisfied with the results? (in terms of performance?)
