I want to install Debian GNU / Linux 8 Jessie on the new MSI GL62 laptop but unfortunately I ran into problems with the drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX950M and Intel HD Graphics 530 cards. I have two graphics cards in my laptop, actually a hybrid card. Here is the output of the lspci command:

hubot@debian:~$ lspci

I tried installing bumblebee but it resulted in Debian not starting up and ctrl + alt + f1-f7 not working. I don't know if it matters to do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade before installing drivers. I also tried to install the nvidia-driver package but it ended up crashing the X manager and it was showing me gnome that manager X had managed to get the X in order "oh no something has gone wrong". I am using the jessie / stable repositories. I also have jessie-backports repositories added.
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file:

## podstawowe repozytorium

Would upgrading debian to testing help install drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M and Intel HD Graphics 530 cards? I tried to mess around in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it didn't work. Anyone have any other ideas on how to install these drivers?

Handling your card on a proprietary driver is in the backports.
I don't know about open source, probably the same.
Closed driver installation below.

Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
apt-get update && apt-get install -t jessie-backports bumblebee-nvidia primus

The rest of the options at https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee

Still Debian won't boot despite installing from backports. Any other ways?

Sorry, but the fairies aren't here.
You have to show the logs: dmesg, xorg.log

The system can boot in rescue mode.

Sorry for offtop, but I have a question, would it be a good idea to install a system with better nvidia support instead of struggling with debian?

Please my logs:
dmesg - https://paste.debian.net/927912/
/home/hubot/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log - https://paste.debian.net/927913/
I hope you can learn something about my mistake.

I would like to add that I upgraded the system to Debian Testing, installed closed drivers with sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus primus-libs: i386 and changed the desktop environment to xfce. Unfortunately, there is a bug that shows [OK] Started X-Window Display Manager all the time. [OK] Started OpenBSD Secure Shell server. and there's nothing you can do about it. This is where the system starts up. The startx command did not work correctly.

Try on an open source driver:
Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
sudo apt-get install bumblebee primus

In case of further problems, re-attach the logs.

It still doesn't work. I mean, the same thing is happening. Changing the desktop environment did nothing. I went back to the gnome. After logging in, the gnome has a black cursor on a gray background and you cannot move it or enter the tty and on xfce, what I described above continues.

I have completely reinstalled Debian. First I updated it to testing, then installed the nvidia drivers with the command
Code: Bash
Log in, to see the code

then logged in from the Gnome on Wayland display manager. Unfortunately, other managers did not want to act. The X11 manager showed a black screen after logging in and Gnome and Gnome Classic showed a black cursor on a gray background and there was nothing to do about it. Only the Gnome on Wayland manager allowed me to use Debian normally.

Here are the results of each command:

Code: Bash
Log in, to see the code

Code: Bash

The optirun command seems to work as I type
Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
optirun firefox

What do you think about my configuration? Was I able to configure the system to work with the Intel and NVIDIA card? Oh, and how do I make Gnome on Wayland the default display manager?

The logs on the external server will expire soon and the thread will become useless, attach them to the message in syntax tags.

I would also like to add that I tried the method with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus#GDM and https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers...raphics_Disabled_-_xrandr_and_Dispia-settings to make nager_Scriplay_Manager_Scriplay_Manager_Scriplay_Manager nothing changed in the system.

I finally solved the problem with installing the drivers for the NVIDIA card on Debian: installing Debian -> sudo su - -> adduser hubot sudo -> upgrading to testing -> entering recovery mode without acpi -> sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus primus-libs: i386 -> sudo reboot -> setting the display manager Gnome on Wayland -> glxinfo | grep OpenGL -> optirun glxinfo | grep OpenGL.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenges faced while installing Debian GNU/Linux 8 Jessie on an MSI GL62 laptop equipped with a hybrid graphics setup, featuring an NVIDIA GeForce GTX950M and Intel HD Graphics 530. The user encountered issues with driver installation, particularly with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers and Bumblebee for managing the hybrid graphics. Despite attempts to use backports and various desktop environments, the system failed to boot properly, resulting in a black screen or unresponsive graphical interface. Solutions proposed included using open-source drivers, booting in rescue mode, and ultimately upgrading to Debian Testing, which allowed for successful installation of the NVIDIA drivers and proper functionality with the Gnome on Wayland display manager.
