[SOLVED] primusrun exits without an error message

After a recent system update, primusrun glxgears exits after window creation. The command exits with error code 139, but there is no error message. Even setting PRIMUS_VERBOSE=2 does not provide error messages.

systemctl status bumblebeed doesn’t contain any logging information about the command, but it does give the following log after starting.

However, LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so primusrun glxgears does execute correctly, running glxgears without error. This solution is taken from a forum post I’ve yet to find again, but I do know that the thread didn’t tell me what the problem was, or why this solution worked.

How can I go about finding more information about what’s happening?

Edit: error code correction, results of setting PRIMUS_VERBOSE

Edit: Currently getting an error in dmesg, investigating

glxgears[15300]: segfault at 74 ip 00007f2cb0fdd081 sp 00007f2cad1d3b20 error 4 in i965_dri.so

Edit: Running with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so primusrun glxgears -info shows that it’s using the Intel onboard graphics, not the NVIDIA GPU as expected.

Given:

GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2)
GL_VERSION    = 3.0 Mesa 18.1.3
GL_VENDOR     = Intel Open Source Technology Center

Expected (and shown with optirun glxgears -info):

GL_RENDERER   = GeForce GTX 960M/PCIe/SSE2
GL_VERSION    = 4.6.0 NVIDIA 396.24
GL_VENDOR     = NVIDIA Corporation

Clearly, preloading /usr/lib/libGL.so is not a fix.

Edit: Apparently setting PRIMUS_UPLOAD=1 works – it uses the right card and doesn't exit. I have no idea what this does. The manpage doesn’t mention it.
