problem of installing bumblebee in SLED 12 sp3

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SLED Hardware

Dear,

I have added the following depository to my SLED 12 SP3 X64:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Bumblebee/SLE_12_SP2_B

Then I try to install bumblebee with the following command line:

zypper in bbswitch bumblebee dkms nvidia-bumblebee nvidia-bumblebee-32bit primus VirtualGL-devel VirtualGL-32bit

But it always failed with messages:

[CODE]
Package ‘VirtualGL-32bit’ not found.
‘bumblebee’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of ‘bumblebee’ found.
Resolving package dependencies…
2 Problems:
Problem: nothing provides bumblebee needed by primus-0+git20150328.d1afbf6-27.1.x86_64
Problem: nothing provides ksym(default:__pm_runtime_idle) = 10d6e9be needed by bbswitch-kmp-default-0.8_k4.4.21_69-26.1.x86_64

Problem: nothing provides bumblebee needed by primus-0+git20150328.d1afbf6-27.1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install primus-0+git20150328.d1afbf6-27.1.x86_64
Solution 2: break primus-0+git20150328.d1afbf6-27.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies [/CODE]

Thank you very much.

Hi
It all needs to match the SP3 kernel…

Ask the maintainers to add the SP3 build target.

If you have an OBS account, copy and rebuild for SP3 and it’s kernel or download the src rpms and build locally (probably better since it will match later kernel updates);

hi, I contacted the developer and he told me that the SP2 and SP3 share the same knernel …

Hi
Yes, but it’s not built against the running kernel. OBS only contains the kernel from the pool (4.4.21) not updates which is currently at 4.4.92.

I would drop the two 32bit packages from you list since the virtual gl one doesn’t exist…
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:Bumblebee/VirtualGL

You will still need to rebuild the kmp locally for your running kernel.

thanks a lot for comments.

I wish the developer could provide Bumblebee soon for SP3.

btw, I noticed that I cannot find kernel-devel package in SLED 12 SP3;

[CODE]> sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_kernel
‘devel_kernel’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of ‘devel_kernel’ found.

Nothing to do.[/CODE]

This is a compulsory step to install Bumblebee… What shall I do for this?

thx again.

Hi
It’s not a pattern these days… look at;

zypper in kernel-default-devel

The developer added a new depository for SLED 12 SP3.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Bumblebee/SLE_12_SP3_Backports/

Now, everything goes well. My optirun finally back…

thanks again for helps.
