Hi,

i have a clean install of Xubuntu 15.10 on a Asus UX303UB notebook. I have added the xorg-edgers ppa as well as the graphics-drivers-team ppa to my sources and updated the system. I then install & configure bumblebee and nvidia-361 driver from graphics-drivers-team ppa. After reboot lightdm goes dark, and i cant even switch to a console. When i login via ssh i see in dmesg:

[    3.384002] NVRM: GPU at 0000:01:00.0 has fallen off the bus.

I tried to add “rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1” into kernel load options as suggested here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bumblebee#Failed_to_initialize_the_NVIDIA_GPU_at_PCI:1:0:0_.28GPU_fallen_off_the_bus_.2F_RmInitAdapter_failed.21.29 to no avail.

In Xorg.0.log i see:

[     6.004] (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver  361.28  Wed Feb  3 14:48:10 PST 2016

[     6.004] (II) modeset(G0): using drv /dev/dri/card0
[     6.004] (EE) No devices detected.

Otherwise i would suspect this is because of a wrong BusID declaration, but in /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia i have it:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Layout0"
    Option      "AutoAddDevices" "false"
    Option      "AutoAddGPU" "false"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "DiscreteNvidia"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "NVIDIA Corporation"

   BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

    Option "ProbeAllGpus" "false"

    Option "NoLogo" "true"
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
EndSection

Hi,

I’m having the exact same problem on the same notebook. Running Gentoo on an ASUS UX303L.
nvidia-drivers-355.11 are working fine, but if I use the newer nvidia-drivers-358.16 or nvidia-drivers-361.28 I get the “GPU has fallen off the bus” when booting.

The GPU is a GeForce 840M.

I’ve submitted a bug report to nvidia.
