hey guys…i’m about to pull my hair out, cant figure out why i cant make it work.

so i’m trying to get bumblebee to work, no luck so far.

–>>FRESH ARCH INSTALL<<–
installed i3,spotify, steam and a couple of other things but have yet to mess with system settings and what not.

computer name:

Acer Aspire E5-571G

lsmod

i found this thread about the “RmInitAdapter failed!” , sadly i dont have the

Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2222; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1

on my xorg.conf.nvidia…
also as pointed out on my systemd conf, i do have

rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1

digging into the nvidia forums:
nvidia-smi -q

No devices were found

honestly i’m just trying anything and everything at this point…
found another thread that said to use

pcie_aspm=off

on the kernel, that didnt work

nvidia-bug-report.sh

about the report:
aside from the obvious

RmInitAdapter failed!

i found this:

is the connection with the gpu broken or something? not sure what to make of this:

i didnt changed the ???, thats how the log shows it…but then again i’m no nvidia/hardware expert, so it could be nothing related

Please try kernel parameters
acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=“Windows 2009”

3

hello! thanks for the help.

sadly it didnt work.

new-nvidia-bug-report

new dmesg

a quick look into dmesg shows it giving the same error " NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! "

let me know if you need more logs.

EDIT:

i also tried: [ acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=“Windows 2015” ]

same problem, dmesg shows a new message, i’m not sure if it is relevant.

Can you remove bbswitch so the nvidia gpu doesn’t get turned off to rule out a general hw failure? Did you already try a 4.x kernel?

5

removed bbswitch ( pacman -Rns bbswitch )

tried with the kernel options:
acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=“Windows 2009”
acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=“Windows 2015”
and without those 2

still doesnt work.

i haven’t tried to rollback on the kernel just yet, mainly because i’m not quite sure how to do it, but i will look at the wiki right now, do you have a kernel version that you recommend?

maybe i should try the lts? (linux-lts)

6

4.19/4.20 should be fine.

7

Sorry for the delay, had some problem but i did it.

i am now on the lts kernel (linux-lts) (version 4.19)

still doesnt work, but NOW the error calls of nauveou, the problem is that i NEED to have noueveau blacklisted or it will freeze my computer ( i didnt tested nauveou on this kernel)

anyway using the acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=“Windows 2009”

nvidia-bug
lts-dmesg

edit:

disabled modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
pc didnt freeze (yay) but still the same problem when i call optirun -vvv glxgears

discard it!

i forgot to install nvidia-lts.
installed it, now i’m having the SAME problem that i did on the 5.0 kernel.

9

Please attach a new dmesg with bbswitch uninstalled and nouveau blacklisted.

10

lts-kernel,nouveau-blacklisted-dmesg

edit: and bbswitch is unistalled since i did the pacman -Rns a few posts back.

11

I suspect the gpu might be broken, you can only install Windows and check if it works there but I doubt it.

12

ok.
by suggestion of an respected user on the arch forum i went ahead and

systemctl set-default multi-user.target

logged in as root, did the nvidia-smi -q and “No devices were found”

does this align with your suspicions ?

13

If the driver is loaded, yes.
