Re: [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0 Ubuntu 11.10

 

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.
How can do that? i.e where should I add that option "modprobe.blacklist=nvidia-current,nvidia" in the modprobe configuration or grub ? I am not sure.

Cheers,

Can you try to prevent the nvidia
driver from automatically loading? I.e. boot with the
modprobe.blacklist=nvidia-current,nvidia option.

    I have a nvidia 330M and installed bumblebee from the ubuntu
    repository and when tried optirun glxspheres the output was as follow:

    $ optirun glxspheres
    [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0):
    Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0.  Please

    [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

    Followed the instructions in troubleshooting and blacklisted nouveau
    driver (I want nvidia driver) so I get this:

    $ lsmod | grep nvidia
    nvidia              11713772  0

    I looked into kern.log and have the following issues:
