Ubuntu 14.04 Nvidia Optimus Bumblebee error
8,369
From: https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee#Common_issues
I had to edit the file '/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf' and set the driver manually :
Driver=nvidia
You should have a corresponding [driver-nvidia] section in your file with the current version of your nvidia driver :
[driver-nvidia]
# KernelDriver=nvidia-current
KernelDriver=nvidia-331
# LibraryPath=/usr/lib/nvidia-current:/usr/lib32/nvidia-current
LibraryPath=/usr/lib/nvidia-331:/usr/lib32/nvidia-331
# XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules
XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-331/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules
then restart the bumblebee daemon :
sudo service bumblebeed restart

I know that in Ubuntu 14.04 there exists nvidia-prime for Nvidia Optimus, but I don't like it and neither am I able to get it work. After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 everything crashed, and I made a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 and Bumblebee, but now I have new troubles. After running
optirun glxgears
I get the following error:**[ 4703.996785] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU, secondary X is not active.** **[ 4703.996910] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.**
Please help.

vorburger almost 8 yearsYou'll also want to make sure that the number in LibraryPath and XorgModulePath match the version of the nvidia driver you installed, because a default install, it's /usr/lib/nvidia-current .. but for stability you may have installed e.g. fixed version 367 instead of latest nvidia-current.
