(Guide) Installing Nvidia + Bumblebee + CUDA for Optimus enabled Laptops

@ Quest yes it should show your GPU

I removed the pre-installed pyrit and installed it from source following the guide on the first page .

and it works finally

here is the output of benchmark before installing it from source, notice how there is no GPU in the list and look at the second output

Code:

optirun pyrit benchmark Pyrit 0.4.0 (C) 2008-2011 Lukas Lueg http://pyrit.googlecode.com This code is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3+ Running benchmark (2922.3 PMKs/s)... / Computed 2922.27 PMKs/s total. #1: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 389.2 PMKs/s (RTT 3.3) #2: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 384.7 PMKs/s (RTT 3.3) #3: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 402.0 PMKs/s (RTT 3.3) #4: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 394.1 PMKs/s (RTT 3.3) #5: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 401.3 PMKs/s (RTT 3.2) #6: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 395.2 PMKs/s (RTT 3.3) #7: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 401.6 PMKs/s (RTT 3.2) #8: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 395.8 PMKs/s (RTT 3.3)

here is the output after installing it from source .

Code:

look at the deference between computed PMKs/s in both outputs !

wow great!

I thought for you to install Pyrit like the guide said, because this whole installation is very tricky/complex, and if one does not follow the exact procedure then it does not work, or it partially does.

*Funny how Pyrit does not use the 8th core when it use the GPU... Anyway.

Fix intel driver after installing nvidia

After I installed the nvidia proprietary driver from this post with cuda6

I found that the INTEL driver is broken and some apps need it for 3D acceleration like GDM3 or anything that can't run with optirun

so here is a fix I did after reading and searching in other places .

first : to check if your INTEL driver is broken run this command without optirun

Code:

glxgears

if it works you are good nothing to do after this if not follow next instruction

--- remove the invidia driver if you installed it from NVIDIAxxx*.run that is the one you downloaded from nvidia site.

--- remove it with nividia-intaller-cleanup just intall it and it'll prompt you to remove the driver.

--- then follow the first post to install the driver from repository which is 331-xx version. don't forget to change bumblebee and xorg as mentioned in the first post, for the repo driver to work. | the first post is changed it doesn't have the repo driver anymore .| so install it by apt-get intall nvidia-glx and apt-get install nvidia alternative
it will grab everything else . or google how to install nvidia driver 331 would be better.
--- at this point you have the nvidia driver functioning with optirun but if you have cuda6-5 it won't function because it requires a higher version of driver 340.xx. at least that's what happened to me

--- to fix it remove cuda6-5 by entering the folder where you installed the NVIDIA Cuda samples, probably you installed it in root folder. then run

Code:

make clean

--- remove the samples folder

--- go to /usr/local/ and delete cudaxx and its symlink .

--- you can still use cuda6-5 if you upgrade the driver follow last lines in this post

--- if you are ok with cuda5 download cuda5.xx and install it follow the firt page in this thread .

--- if you have the intel mesa driver broken still then do the next

--- download mesa-alternative-glx I often use synaptic to install my packages else apt-get from terminal .

--- when it's installed run

Code:

update-alternative --config glx

--- when you have both nvidia and intel drivers installed it will display three options

auto (with the selected driver)
manual nvidia
manual intel

--- enter the number in the far left that correspond to intel and hit Enter
--- now it will fix your intel driver. reboot and try glxgears and optirun glxgears it should work, works for me :)

--- finally if you still want to use cuda6-5 update the nvidia driver

--- *add this repo to your source.list

Quote:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib

.

--- run apt-get update when done open synaptic and upgrade the nvidia driver and reboot

--- now you can install cuda6-5 again following this post

. don't forget to remove the repo you added to your source.list, before you break something

I hope someone will find this useful it works for me
here is glxgears with intel and nvidia notice fps and compare it with nvidia one .

Code:

glxgears Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.828 FPS 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.807 FPS

with optirun

Code:

optirun glxgears 4139 frames in 5.0 seconds = 827.670 FPS 4114 frames in 5.0 seconds = 822.686 FPS

good stuff! Thanks bahha.

My fan does not decelerate after running "optirun pyrit benchmark". I have to reboot the computer for it to normalize. So something(probly my nVidia HD 630M) stays ON long after finishing operations when should be OFF. If anyone has any ideas...

I'm suspecting Bumblebee

you can try

Quote:

echo OFF >> /proc/acpi/bbswitch

then see if it works with

Quote:

cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch

if says OFF then it's OFF otherwise it's refusing to unload it, because it's being used by the nvidia module
you can try to reinstall bbswitch and bumblebee

Till today all working perfect!!After updating xserver-xorg-core to 2:1.12.4-6+deb7u5 now when i run "optirun glxspheres64" gives the error :

Code:

Polygons in scene: 62464 Visual ID of window: 0x21 Context is Direct X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 137 (NV-GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 () Resource id in failed request: 0x200002 Serial number of failed request: 38 Current serial number in output stream: 38

if i run any other program eg "optirun pyrit" its working fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Im using kali 1.09 3.14-kali1-amd64

Useful to know these commands, but it didn't work for me..

Had no idea that my Intel driver was broken!! Geez what a mess...

Thanks again bahha!

Im using kali 1.09 3.14-kali1-amd64

problem solved. what i did was :
Code:

mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.orig
ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.XXX.YY /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
where XXX.YY is your driver version

my recommendation for you is to use my post above too fix everything, that's what I did and everything is ok for now .

@ darkshadowman
pyrit works even without installing the nvidia driver. you can check if your driver works by :

Quote:

optirun pyrit list_cores

if it lists your GPU to then it's ok , look at the example bellow

Quote:

The following cores seem available...
#1: 'CUDA-Device #1 'GeForce GT 740M''
#2: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#3: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#4: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#5: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#6: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#7: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#8: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'

Hi everybody!
I need some help, please.
Kali -32 Bits
Nvidia card integrated on a HP notebook dv9 series with nvidia integrated.
I did a fresh install and the first thing to do was installing the graphics.
Unfortunatlly my bumblebee tells me:

[ERROR]No integrated video card found, quitting.

well the Virtualgl was instaled well, the Cuda was instaled well , and the driver Nvidia was installed well.
Everything done as static0de last update post for the 340 driver. Exception for the packages wich were i386 compatible. and one or another path I had to chage.

well the last thing I was expecting to see was no hardware found!
:)

Bumblebee not activated

NVIDIA will not install correctly

First of all many thanks to staticn0de, I could not have made half the progress I have without his posts.

I really hope someone can help me with this issue. I have been struggling for days now trying to get this up and running, i.e. my Nvidia graphics card.

I have listed below all the information I think might be pertinent, maybe over kill but I didn't want to leave anything out. I am new to this so forgive me if I am on the wrong thread or have used the wrong format.

I have downloaded the NVIDIA drivers NVIDIA GeForce 610m (1GB) from the nvidia web site as directed, these are the drivers the specs for my pc state, Lenovo Ideapad U410.
I am running Kali 64 bit as my primary OS, no dual boot, kernel details are also listed below.

Below are the steps I have gone through trying to get this working: These were all done as a regular user then again as root.
-stopped gdm3 / terminal ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run -dkms -z (failed)
-stopped gdm3 /terminal ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run (failed)
-booted to command prompt ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run -dkms -z (failed)
-booted to command prompt ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run (failed)

Removed all files containing NVIDIA with Synaptic Package Manager then went through the steps listed above, same results.

Removed all files containing nouveau with Synaptic Package Manager then went through the steps listed above, same results.

I have now reinstalled the nouveau files I removed previously.

I have NOT reinstalled the nvidia files referenced to in Synaptic Package Manager.
I have included my sources list below for verification..it contains notes to myself in it as well.

I have followed the below link on what to do post Kali install

HTML Code:

http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/03/03/20-things-installing-kali-linux/

I followed these instructions, but lost the gui altogether. This happend a number of times and I reinstalled the OS twice before I found the xorg file and removed it...(I guess I should have read step B and saved some time)

Hi there,

First things first, clean up the NIVIDA drivers already installed. I've added sudo for if you are a regular user

sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run --uninstall

The command you linked above does not have the double - before the dkms flag. Use this below

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run --dkms -z

You don't touch the xorg.conf file at all. You don't need it and generating one under NVIDIA will break your install.

While I'm a huge fan of blackmoreops and his guides, you should not just follow them if you don't know what they are doing.

For example, his guide on NVIDIA is not for optimus platforms and it will break your install.

The easiest way would be to do a fresh install (as I don't know what you have done to your system) and then follow my guide from the start.

It would also be good to see the log here:

/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/340.65/build/make.log

Staticn0de thank you so much for you help with this. I think I may have a couple of python type errors going on as well, I will post the code from those later. I was impatient waiting for the moderators to post my thread and may have broken other "stuff" before I saw your reply. I think have answered and posted correctly below your requests, for some reason I am getting a security alert when I try to preview this so I am posing it as is.

This security site has been blocking me from posting here for the last two day...***

Done...uninstall appeared to work.

This was reran with --dkms -z (the installation failed)

I know this post has nothing to do with this thread, and for that I apologize in advance.

This is just a test

NVIDIA will not install correctly

Staticn0de...again many thanks. I do NOT have python errors anymore, infact I just rebuilt this Kali install, 3x. I had a backup file which I used, but that failed. Anyway post 25 was followed exactly, after a clean install.

As you can see I am still having issues, and the NVIDIA drivers failed to install.

Quote:

Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and add a line under the 'Section "Device"' area so that is matches what is shown below. Change the bus ID to match what you recorded previously and take note that you recored a . before the last number and it is now a ':'. You need the ':'.
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"

Above directions were not compete...file xorg.conf.nvidia does not exist, see below code.

I do have this file...

Code:

root@Debian:/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0# cat README.txt

The above file had too many characters to post.

I use Kali is my primary OS, bad practice I know, but I use it with work constantly. I hope that my installing additional applications doesn't impair our working on my NVIDIA graphics driver. As you can see I am still in need of some assistance. Please let me know what files or data I can post that will help this along.

Vr/

@Hun75m4n,

Nothing wrong with using Kali as the primary OS.

Installing other applications is not normally the problem. Its all about how much you install from non-official repos as they will break you install very quickly.

Now, the file you are after is found in the bumblebee directory

Code:

root@kali /etc/bumblebee$ ls bumblebee.conf xorg.conf.d xorg.conf.nouveau xorg.conf.nvidia

The two files you modify as part of my guide are bumbelbee.conf and xorg.conf.nvidia.

If you don't have this folder, you have not installed bumblebee yet. You need to add the debian repo listed in the guide and run apt-get update and then install bumblebee.

Now you have the correct file, keep following the guide and make the modifications listend. If you still can't get it to work, let me know.

NVIDIA will not install correctly

@staticn0de

Thanks for pointing out the files, apprantly I don't know how to use the command 'locate'.
I have completed the install now, without error. I guess maybe I am not in the know for how NVIDIA Gforce is used. Under Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> NVIDIA X server settings I have the below error.

Code:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> Systems Settings -> Details -> Graphics (there is no driver listed and Experience states "Fallback)

Applications -> Programming -> Nvidia Visual Profiler (not sure what this is all about, it appears to be a web page)

I guess I am confused as to what getting the NVIDIA drivers installed correctly was supposed to accomplish.

The reason it is giving you an NVIDIA X driver error is because it's not loaded (the driver) unless you call it with optirun. This is a power saving feature and the entire reason we install bumblebee.

try the command below:

Code:

optirun glxspheres64

You should see a pretty window appear and terminal will be printing some FPS for you. That means the driver install worked.

If you want to use the NVIDIA card (such as in a graphics demanding application), prefix the command with optirun.

Say I wanted to run cudahashcat i would use the command

Code:

optirun cudahashcat

Bumblebee install errors

Hi everyone. Please help. I followed the guide from post 25 step by step till Cuda install, everything works well, no error but when i try to see if it works what have I done with optirun glxspheres64, i got 2 errors

[ 1465.806859] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected.

[ 1465.806942] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

and for primusrun glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

In xorg.conf.nvidia I have:

BusID "PCI:01:00.0"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "UseEDID" "false"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
EndSection

in bumblebee.conf i changed only line 22 "Driver=nvidia"

lspci | grep 3D comand give me as a result 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1292 (rev a1)

I use Nvidia 740M in an asus laptop, I just installed kali and updated&upgraded without any error after I tried to install from first post and I got
root@kali:~# modprobe nvidia-uvm
ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_uvm': No such device but optirun glxspheres64 it worked that time.
but that time i installed and uninstalled too many times and I haven't any ideea how to solve and it was too much mess around.
Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance

Shucks mate, you will make me blush.

seriously they have not wrapped up a cudahashcat package yet http://git.kali.org/gitweb/?a=project_list;pf=packages , so many thanks for that .deb and this howto bro. I'd still be without my nVidia under linux without this tut. We(nVidia users) all appreciate that guide you've created here. Not that many have the knowledge and willing to help.

Cheers static!

excellent stuff

You actually reminded me that I have been meaning to repackage the new cudahashcat 1.31. So, I went and did that. I've also changed the host because mirror creator is awful and should feel awful.

Install with:

Code:

dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.31.deb

In the future, if you want to remove it:

Code:

dpkg -r cudahashcat-1.31

If you want to make sure its completely removed, check the following and remove them:

Code:

/usr/bin/cudahashcat32 /usr/bin/cudahashcat64 /usr/share/cudahashcat

If you need to remove my old deb, run the following. Check the listings in the code block above to make sure they were removed:

Code:

dpkg -r cudahashcat-1.30

Sums for cudahashcat-1.31.deb:

Code:

md5sum = b753c393264b3c40e51f057a96f3f6e9 sha1sum = f4abc533f4ced0f7e9a82255ceecf0333c212fa2

When installed, test with the following:

Code:

optirun cudahashcat64 -t 32 -a 7 example0.hash ?a?a?a?a example.dict

The file is 475MB
https://mega.co.nz/#!kFMC2RQC!D1ccQY...KFFxs7Qj1pgcw0

@2code

Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and adjust the line:

BusID "PCI:01:00.0"

To read

BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

And restart bumblebeed

I really like MEGA over mirror creator. Thx for that new cudahashcat 1.31 deb!

I will wait for KL 1.1.0 to install it, as will have to reinstall everything when it comes out. Tomorrow(5) me thinks.

:cool::cool:

Thank you very much staticn0de, your advice took me in the right direction and I ran optirun glxspheres64 whitout problems. But I got another error after I've installed cuda_6.0.37_linux_64 when i have run ./deviceQuery, i got

I read on a forum that is possible to have a version mismatch between installed nvidia kernel module and libcuda1 library but I don't know if is the case and how to solve it.

Thank you for help.

Thank you for help.

After you run ./deviceQuery, capture the tail of the dmesg command and post it here

Edit: did you run optirun. /deviceQuery or just

./deviceQuery?

It needs the optirun prefix

Thank you staticn0de. Unfortunatelly before I read your message I tried to uninstall nvidia driver, everything looks ok at the first sight but unfortunatelly when i tried to install it again, i got an error like I have a nvidia driver installed and I don't know how to uninstall, here are some message which i got.

I used NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run and when i tried to install i used the same method.

To uninstall, just use the --uninstall flag on the installer you used.

Make sure you clean up bumblebee and primus too. The command below should work but make sure you read about what you're doing first.

apt-get purge bumblebee* primus* nvidia-*

and start again

Hi and many thanks for your help but I do again something wrong, this time looks like nvidia driver doesn't load. I uninstall everything and install and configure everything again till cuda. I took some messages after:

No other chance than install again, or can I do something to get loaded nvidia ?

Hi,

I have the same question.

Battery Consumption

Hi,

With your laptop on, and not plugged in, and not being used for 1 or 2 mins, can you perform the following?

Code:

upower -d

Please post the results. I've been dealing with nvidia and optimus and cuda since 2011, and some of the steps you did seem a bit unnecessary.

Thanks

Hey guys! Exciting news about nvidia optimus in 1.1.

Bad news is, I've just moved house and won't have internet for up to 20 days. I can't test it!

If someone else can have a go, be sure to post back

I'm using VMware® Workstation v7.0.1 build-227600, I've installed it on my Win8.1 x64
I've installed Kali Linux 9.10 on VMware

Whenever I've posted lspci | grep VGA in Linux Terminal the following info has showed :
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
Is it possible to install Video Card Driver in Linux this situation ?
