How to install bubblebee on linux?

Question

linux

The machine is acer v5-572 with two vidyuhi (VGA and 3D), OS - debian 7. The driver is proprietary from the testing branch (because only 331 has support for my card). Bumblebee works, but very clumsily, for example:

Launching the console

[email protected]:~$ optirun xterm 
[  235.084566] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0.  Please

[  235.084597] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
[email protected]:~$ optirun -v xterm 
[  244.738862] [INFO]Configured driver: nvidia
[  245.763681] [INFO]Response: Yes. X is active.

[  245.763710] [INFO]Running application using primus.

In the first case - an error, in the second everything is fine. From the terminal, glxgears is launched and the nvidia card and the 331 driver are determined there.
Or here:

As you can see, the ferret needs 2 v to start. glxgears starts with one v. Some application requires 4 v. Without parameters, I was only able to run kate. By the way, all programs run normally from the kate terminal.
What should I do with this nonsense? Who has a success story with a bumblebee on this laptop or similar?

ядро 3.13 с почти стандартным конфигом (добавлена пара драйверов).

Answer 1

You can try VirtualGL instead of optirun as an option. Performance can potentially sag, but minimal in my experience.

Answer 2

had similar sex with bumblebee, but under Ubuntu 12.04. I installed bumblebee and the driver "out of the box" of the ubuntaria stopped loading. I went to the nvidia website, downloaded the installer of their driver for my model for my axis, launched it, and after that everything started up. No magic.
PS: after each update of the kernel, it is required to repeat the operation with the installation (although this information is written when installing the driver). This has happened twice in the past six months.

Answer 3

And in my opinion it's not at all in the amount of -v. You have a successful every second launch.
To fix it, add the line rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1 to the kernel boot parameters.
