Bug Description
I have an Acer Aspire E5-571G with an Intel iGPU and a NVIDIA 820m (Optimus hybrid system)
I'm using nvida-current drivers with bumblebee following the ubuntu wiki guide, rebooting, after executed just one time "primusrun glxgears" or another program with primus/optirun, when gpu-manager is triggered creates automatically an Xorg.conf probally overriding the correct bumblebee one located in /etc/bumblebee/
I had to rename in /usr/bin/
I don't really know why.
Summarizing, the next time I reboot the pc or restart the display manager after executed primus/optirun successfully the first time, gpu-manager reconfigures everything. I can't even get to lightdm unless removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it can't join into the user (lightdm loop) unless i reconfigure nvidia-bumblebee package, and compiz crashes unless I delete the dconf configuration. I have also to delete gpu-manager from the init.
Tried with reinstalling ubuntu a few times.
When I install bumblebee and it's dependencies X should run correctly
Instead, X.org fallback is executed.
I'm using the latest Ubuntu, updated today.
summary: |
- gpu-manager making system unusable in optimus system + gpu-manager overrides bumblebee Xorg.conf making X not starting |
Updated description. I did a lot of tests.
Anyway, my pc configuration:
Acer ASPIRE e5-571G
Intel Core i5 4210u 1.7Ghz/2.7
Nvidia Geforce 820M
Kernel command line: quiet splash acpi_osi=
acpi_osi= for me is needed because the optimus card can't exit from D3 state after resuming from suspend.
