## How Install



## 0 - clone the repository or donwload

    git clone https://github.com/ryuuzaki42/24_Bumblebee-SlackBuilds-Packages.git



## Or download

https://github.com/ryuuzaki42/24_Bumblebee-SlackBuilds-Packages/archive/master.zip



## 1 Create group bumblebee:

    su -

    groupadd bumblebee



## 2 Add users to the group: # Change USERNAME to your user name

    usermod -G bumblebee -a USERNAME



## 3 Install - upgrade packages

    cd Bumblebee-SlackBuilds-Packages/final_packages/upgrade/

    upgradepkg xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-1.0-noarch-1.txz



    cd ../install/

    upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall *z



    cd kernel_upgrade/

    upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall *z



## 4 Add bumblebee to start

    chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.bumblebeed

    echo "/etc/rc.d/rc.bumblebeed start" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local



Reboot to test



If you use slackpkg+ (http://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+.html), Set nouveau to greylist:

    echo "xf86-video-nouveau" >> /etc/slackpkg/greylist



# After a Kernel update need to rebuilt

    bbswitch

    nvidia-kernel



### Test - Note: you need to re-login (or rebbot) to update take effect

Run:



    glxinfo | egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"



### Result example:

    OpenGL vendor string: Intel

    OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)



### Now test the NVidia card:

    optirun glxinfo | egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"



### Result example:

    OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

    OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX/PCIe/SSE2



Card version of the test: GeForce 940MX



## Steam run game with bumblebee video card

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6316-GJKC-7437



## Try

    primusrun %command%



## Sometimes optirun is more stable

    optirun %command%



## In some cases, neither of those work (e.g. in Team Fortress 2) so I use:

    LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 optirun %command%



## Note: due to the sync between framerate and refresh rate, you may not see any difference between primusrun and the intel card in glxgears, although you will         

## see drastic differences playing high end games.  In the past the vblank_mode set to 0 improved framerates and helped with screen tearing, now tho this should

## only be used for benchmarks or tests:

    vblank_mode=0 primusrun



# Errors



## Error - fatal: failed to load any of the libraries .../libGL.so.1

### Backup libGL.so.1

    mv /usr/lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libGL.so.1.back



### Create a link simbolic from libGL.so.1.7.0

    ln -s /usr/lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libGL.so.1.7.0 /usr/lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libGL.so.1



## Error: Module glx does not have a glxModuleData data object

https://github.com/WhiteWolf1776/Bumblebee-SlackBuilds/issues/51



### Sometimes just need the last part, with set the card in /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia



### Go to the modules folder:

    cd /usr/lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/xorg/modules/



### Backup the old version of libGLX.so.0

    mv libGLX.so.0 libGLX.so.0.back



### Create a link simbolic from libglxserver_nvidia.XXX from the up folder

    ln ../libglxserver_nvidia.so.450.66 ./libGLX.so.0



### Now the error glx not appears, but the card is not detected. Need to set manually the correctly card



### See the card ID

    lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'



### Uncomment the line with "BusID ..." and set the value in the last command

### I my case the value is "BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

    nano /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
