Any suggestions? thanks

Hi, answering to the list and you direct since we don't know if you are subscribed.

What happens if you install the "mesa-utils" package and run:

optirun glxinfo | grep OpenGL

does it say Nvidia as the vendor?

Primus is in a broken state in Sid, has been for a while, so it is probably the same in Testing now. If you can't get it to work (I gave up) because the "non-glvnd" and "glvnd" Nvidia variant conflict, you can use virtualGL as a workaround.

If you need to go that way just uninstall primus (but keep bumblebee), make sure the "glvnd" (not "non-glvnd") variant of the Nvidia packages are installed, and download the .deb packages for virtualGL here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualgl/files/

If I presume you are on 64bits (amd64) system you need both "virtualgl-[version]-amd64.deb" and "virtualgl32-[version]-amd64.deb" if you are running 32bits programs and have Nvidia 32bits compatibility packages installed. After installing the virtualgl packages, and maybe a reboot, the "optirun glxinfo" command above should report Nvidia as OpenGL vendor, and your programs should work properly.

Hope it helps.
