Challenges in Installing Debian GNU/Linux 8 Jessie on MSI GL62 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX950M

Question

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:...

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.

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

I don't have how because the system is dead. Tty will not start.

dedito · Answer

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?

This is a buddy you have to answer this question yourself.

Please my logs: dmesg - /home/hubot/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log - 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 clipboardsudo 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

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:

Log in, to see the code

https://paste.debian.net/928270/

Log in, to see the code

https://paste.debian.net/928274/

Log in, to see the code

https://paste.debian.net/928277/

Log in, to see the code

https://paste.debian.net/928280/

Log in, to see the code

https://paste.debian.net/928279/

Log in, to see the code

The optirun command seems to work as I type

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 edited and added attachments.

Oh, I'll throw in a few more results from other commands:

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.
