Failed to initialize DMA error #608
Comments
You have a lot of bugs with nvidia in your dmesg, and your bbswitch seems outdated. Could you please update both it and nvidia to see if there is any changes? |
Sorry for taking so long to reply, I just moved to another country and it took me some time to get set up. I updated everything and still got the same issues, and eventually reinstalled Ubuntu before the trip. Today I reinstalled everything, bumblebee, primus and all that, and installed nvidia-340, which just updated on November 5th. I had a different error, stating server was terminated, but after a reboot I'm back to where I was. In my dmesg I see vgaarb does not recognize the Nvidia GPU as a VGA device: [ 122.118773] bbswitch: enabling discrete graphics And when I search lspci | grep NVIDIA: 08:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M](rev a1) Which is differente from Intel, which states VGA controller: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) I don't know it that is related, but I installed, reinstalled, updated everything and still have the same problem. I simply don't know what to do here. |
Sorry for the lack of answers. 3D controller is OK. If you’re still facing this and wanting to debug it, can you please past the full dmesg after a clean boot and an unsuccessful attempt to use optirun? Thanks. |
There you go:

OK,
So, this is an upstream problem in NVIDIA driver. You might try upgrading the driver to a newer version, and report to NVIDIA if it persists. Closing here (you might still add comment), this is not on Bumblebee side. |

I have gone through every question on Xorg errors I could find and googled for this DMA error, but none seemed to solve my issue. This is my notebook configuration:
Intel i5-4200U @ 1.6GHz
8GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Intel Integrated Graphics
Nvidia Geforce 720M
I have installed Bumblebee following the instructions in the wiki, and reinstalled it many times, including following the instructions in the first answer from this question. I also tried with nvidia-319 up to nvidia-343, always correcting the etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf file. I am currently using the nvidia-343 driver.
Whenever I try to run optirun, it gives me the following error:
[ 8002.746314] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: XORG NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize DMA.
[ 8002.746353] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling bumblebee and the drivers, and even did a complete format and reinstall of Ubuntu, but without success.
I've sent the bug report file to [email protected].
