Hybrid graphics doesn't work with pci classes other than 300

[kaxing]

Unable to log into unity corretly, where intel graphic chipset can work correctly when removing nvidia driver.

Affected graphic card:

This is not a bug, so I'm converting it to a question.

Did you also install the nvidia-prime package?

The following line suggests that either you didn't or that something went wrong with its installation:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist

[kaxing (kaxing)]

I did install nvidia-prime alongside with nvidia-319.

ubuntu@201209-11715:~$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
ii nvidia-319 319.32-0ubuntu5 amd64 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
ii nvidia-common 1:0.2.83 amd64 transitional package for ubuntu-drivers-common
ii nvidia-prime 0.3 all Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime
ii nvidia-settings-319 319.32-0ubuntu2 amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

something must have gone wrong during the installation of nvidia-prime then, as you have no xorg.conf.

Please type the following commands and reboot:

sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-prime
sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime

[kaxing (kaxing)]

following previous comment,
still getting same low-graphics mode warning window,
and fallback to console if tried to log into failsafe mode.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

No wonder it doesn't work, your xorg.conf has the wrong bus id:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "0:0:0"
EndSection

1) Is "lspci" installed on your system?
2) Can you please attach the output of "lspci -n | grep 300"?

[kaxing (kaxing)]

systems are install from lateast saucy daily build:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/saucy-desktop-amd64.iso

this is the result of lspci on system with GF117M graphic card:
$lspci -n|grep 300
00:02.0 0300: 8086:0166 (rev 09)

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

ok, so it's not a bug on my side since there is no nvidia card in the output (only the intel card). Is optimus mode enabled?

[kaxing (kaxing)]

double check with BIOS options, there is no option for turn on/off optimus mode on this system(GF117M).

fyr, according to nvidia offical webpage, it does support optimus:
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-610m
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-710m

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

right but if its pci-id doesn't show up in "lspci -n | grep 300" then I'm afraid it won't work

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

we can solve this on all the other systems you wrote about, such as the one with GeForce GT 640M (10de:0fd2) or the one with Quadro K1000M (10de:0ffc)

[kaxing (kaxing)]

GF117M pci-id shows under device class id 0302:

$lspci -nn|grep 302
01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] [10de:1140] (rev a1)

I've tried to change to busID to "PCI:01:0:0" , and reboot.
Now I can hear lightdm startup sound but the screen still black, and low-graphics warning did not show up.
please check attached log for more details.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I think I know what's going on. Please purge nvidia-prime and install the following package:
http://people.canonical.com/~amilone/nvidia-prime_0.4_all.deb

then restart your computer.

Please let me know how it goes.

[kaxing (kaxing)]

Thanks for your fix,

By installing nvidia-prime_0.4_all.deb and reboot the system,
system with GF117M now able to load into unity/compiz correctly,
also verified system with GF108M, works smoothly.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

excellent, thanks for testing

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-prime - 0.4

---------------
nvidia-prime (0.4) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/postinst.in, hybrid-power:
    - Make sure to support more pci device classes as per
      the pci.ids file (LP: #1207626).

Well, it probably appeared again in Trusty Tahr ... at least I can't get my Nvidia GPU working.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

not really. It's just that prime doesn't work with Linux 3.13.

[Aaahh Ahh (woohoomoo2u)]

No I'm using the 12 and 14.04 and the same things have been happening to me! However my lspci is
00:02.0 0300: 8086:0166 (rev 09)
01:00.0 0300: 10de:0fd1 (rev a1)

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

This is not the same bug then, as your card clearly belongs to the 0300 pci class.

Feel free to file a separate bug report for 12.04

[Antonio J. de Oliveira (ajoliveira)]

Hi
I tried everything above with no success on an Acer E1-570G.

lspci -n | grep 300
00:02.0 0300: 8086:0166 (rev 09)

lspci -nn|grep 302
01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] [10de:1140] (rev ff)

The hardware boosts both a I-915 and a GE-force 720M.
Original nvidia NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.49.run says that no supported card exists in my system.

no glx is available with nvidia when it boots in graphics mode

purged everything and came back to intel

saucy 64-bit

Linux ajoliveira 3.11.0-18-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 18 21:11:14 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

the bug is there

Cheers

[Antonio J. de Oliveira (ajoliveira)]

purged everything, am now giving it a try with:

sudo aptitude install nvidia-319 nvidia-prime nvidia-common nvidia-settings-319

xorg.conf now reads:
