I've looked into this in various already created topics but none seems to help. Everything goes around on installing virtualgl THAT I seem not be able to do because I can't find it anywhere ( more info later in the question ) or installing proprietary software from NVidia that I've already as suggested here. What I've done so far:

  1. Reinstal NVidia driver and bumblebee WITHOUT any virtualgl thing using the Answer shown before.

Now, whatever I try to run something using optirun it fails because it can't load GPU driver ( more info later )

Well... Since I cant yet comment in the post I mentioned before I decided to create this question. If in any luck @tigerjack89 sees this, know that everything went well in what you suggested except the installing part of virtualgl and the optirun final part because something.

Now with the output part.

Trying to install virtualgl and comrades fails. I've already added Bumblebee ppa and aparently that should solve the problem BUT it doesn't.

Trying to install virtualgl and others.

apt-get install virtualgl virtualgl-libs virtualgl-libs-ia32:i386 virtualgl-libs:i386

I get an error that says something like: package virtualgl isn't available but is referenced by another package ( I can't copy and past it directly because my system language isn't english and you woudn't understand it )

Using the apt-cache search virtualgl I get this as result:

bumblebee - NVIDIA Optimus support for Linux
primus - client-side GPU offloading for NVIDIA Optimus

And this is my first problem.

About the error I get when trying to run optirun APP, I've read that it can be solved by installing virtualgl and the others packages i've already metioned. Anyway, as the problem might be something else, here is what I get when I try to run, for example, optirun glxspheres64

[ 5386.790679] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

UPDATE 1: apparently when I and do nvidia-detector is returns none ... So am I to suppose that the nvidia driver was not installed ?

  • Bumblebee doesn't work, nvidia-prime doesn't work, Optimus notebooks in general don't work in any Linux. I tryed everything possible and it just won't work no matter what you do. – renatov May 18 '15 at 23:59

You can download latest version here.

I also had difficulties with optirun+primus, that optirun -vv outputted a segmentation fault with any process that actually used 3D acceleration, which made it useless. But optirun -b virtualgl solved it.
