Hello!
This is my first post in the forum, so I'm sorry if I missed something!
I've been trying to get Bumblebee working several times but without success, and I think I've been on every google page there is, so I would really appriciate some help on this topic!
I'm using a ASUS N56JR laptop, with 2 graphic cards (1 Intel integrated, and also NVIDIA 760M).
and I've been trying out how to use my NVIDIA card in Kali for ages.
When I type in
This is the output I get :
Code:
root@sp0nka3:~# lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
So basically my system can't detect the NVIDIA card.
Then when typing :
Code:
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
This is the output:
Code:
root@sp0nka3:~# lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 11e3 (rev a1)
I've tried using this:
http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...-on-kali-linux
But then after reboot I just get a CLI, and no GUI.
And I was thinking that this occurred maybe because the system couldn't locate the NVIDIA card as a VGA adapter.
Anyway, after some googleing I found out my card is probably using the Nvidia Optimus technology, and that this is not yet implemented in linux operating system, which led me to the Bumblebee project!
Then I got to:
https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee#Installation
I've already enabled Multiarch by doing:
Code:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
and then
I tried running:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bumblebee primus
But then when I try to use optirun spotify (for example), I get this output:
Code:
root@sp0nka3:~# optirun spotify
[ 4337.059292] [WARN]Could not open configuration file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
[ 4337.059323] [WARN]Using default configuration
[ 4337.059351] [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.
[ 4337.059363] [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?
I have also looked in the computers BIOS for some setting so that my system only boots with the NVIDIA card, but there was no such setting.
The thing that I'm not really sure about:
Should I install the NVIDIA drivers (but doing something different so that I don't end up with CLI, and not GUI at boot)?
Or should I be able to use Bumblebee with the nouveau driver?
Is there anyone who could explain how to fix my issue I would be very, very thankful since this is driving me insane.
On all the pages I've found on google so far the
Code:
root@sp0nka3:~# lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
always listed NVIDIA as a VGA card aswell..
Thanks in advice/
