Bumblebeed does not detect nvidia device. Strange umask for root?

alexispaz · 2020-09-03 16:42:15

Hello, this is the problem:

$ optirun glxgears
[  456.851581] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected.

[  456.851626] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

I already check some info on the web (e.g. arch wiki) but I couldn't make it work.

Here some further information:

x11

BTW, I had some strange problems with system files permissions in this computed before (see this post). So I just also check this (as root):

# umask
0077

# ls -l /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  227 Aug 21 20:15 10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1350 Sep  2 03:17 10-quirks.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1429 May 19 06:45 40-libinput.conf

Are those outputs OK? In another computer the umask for root is 0022. Should I change it to 0022 too?? I can't find in where/when umask is being changed.

# grep umask /root/.*
grep: /root/.: Is a directory
grep: /root/..: Is a directory
grep: /root/.cache: Is a directory
grep: /root/.config: Is a directory
grep: /root/.gnupg: Is a directory
grep: /root/.local: Is a directory

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

The device is there, possibly powered down and not brought up?
How did you approach the power management?
What's the power state and can you bring it up?
Search https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee for "power" to read on pot. issues and pitfalls and options and what not.

alexispaz · 2020-09-04 15:28:19

Thanks. I have tried

# tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<< ON`

but optirun still not working. I also tested changing /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf:

[driver-nvidia]
PMMethod=bbswitch

reboot, and optirun not working.

About the root umask 0077... I just realized that when I log into root with `sudo su` from my user account, my user umask (i.e. 0077) is kept in the root session. This is expected according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … sive_umask.

I am thinking to reinstall all packages after adding

Defaults umask = 0022
Defaults umask_override

with visudo.

umask is relevant when creating files and should™ be 022, certainly not 077
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Umask

There's no permission error and you're not running X11 "rootless" so I'm not sure why a bad umask could cause this particular problem.
Fix it regardless and see what happens.

alexispaz · 2020-09-04 21:01:38

You are right, I have fixed the umask and reinstalled all native packages and nothing... still optirun not working.

seth · 2020-09-04 21:32:46

Does the bbswitch power state actually change?
Does nvidia-smi then detect the GPU?

philippleclercq · 2020-09-05 14:15:37

I have pretty much the same issue with bumblebee. I have been using intel-virtual-output according to the setup described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … VIDIA_chip for a while and a recent xorg-server (and xorg-server-common) update from 1.20.8-3 to 1.20.9-1 broke it.
My /var/log/Xorg.8.log: https://pastebin.com/U4KH7XtJ
It has been reported at the bugtracker already: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67762

Sorry for the dealy. Here the answers to seth questions:

$ nvidia-smi 
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
0000:01:00.0 OFF
$ sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON
ON
$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
0000:01:00.0 OFF

seth · 2020-09-10 20:48:37

Well, bbswitch doesn't get the GPU up.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … kernel_4.8
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hy … _acpi_call

@philippleclercq the linked bug states that nvidia-smi detects the GPU and is apparently "only" about the bus probing issue.

alexispaz · 2020-09-14 13:41:04

Ok... I have following the first link.

After adding

pcie_port_pm=off

to the kernel parameters, I was able to turn on the device but then I can not turn off it again (without rebooting):

$ sudo cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch 
0000:01:00.0 OFF
$ sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON
$ sudo cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch

For the second link... it seems that I will turn off the device but then I will not able to bring it back on again right? In that case I think I prefer to have it down and turn it on with bumblebee and then just reboot....
