Package: bumblebee Version: 3.2.1-19 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I installed bumblebee on a fresh installation of buster on a Dell G3 3579 with GTX1060 MaxQ following the instructions on https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee. Before installing bumblebee, I had added i386 architecture. Optirun then returned: [ 1778.285793] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not enable discrete graphics card [ 1778.285868] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled. In bumblebee.conf, I had to make the following changes: [bumblebeed] Driver=nvidia [driver-nvidia] PMMETHOD=none Driver was empty before, and PPMETHOD was set to auto. I am not sure if the latter setting is needed. With these changes, optirun and primusrun work: christ@CARTMAN:~$ optirun inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel Device-2: NVIDIA GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060] driver: nvidia v: 390.87 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.3 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.87 As I found a lot of reports about problems with bumblebee and tlp, I wanted to mention that I do not have tlp installed.
