I am still confused, have you installed bumblebee? Is there any output of ls /etc/bumblebee?

Xtremus · May 9, 2019, 4:14am

ls /etc/bumblebee/
bumblebee.conf xorg.conf.d xorg.conf.nouveau xorg.conf.nvidia

hotwater · May 9, 2019, 9:43am

If my problem doesn’t solves,I think I will go ahead with Kali , overwriting parrot. Tho I installed parrot only cuz it can be used for student works too.

hotwater · May 11, 2019, 11:41am

Sir, I want you to understand two things:

Problem CANNOT solve itself. You have to be patient if you want some help.
If you want to try going with Kali, go ahead, but keep in mind that it’s also a debian distribution and you will face the same problem, because the problem is not with the ParrotOS but with NVIDIA drivers and bumblebee.

I also remind you that I am not bumblebee developer, I am a guy who messed with it a lot. I could say in any moment something like “Bumblebee and NVIDIA is not ParrotOs problem, so go to bumblebee/nvidia forums and find your answers”, but as you may see, I am not that junkass and I am trying to help you. So please just be patient.

That looks like everything fine with your optirun and bumblebee configuration.

I don’t understand how your bumblebee is installed, how is it even capable to run apps if there is no daemoon log in journalctl or dmesg. That is weird. And what’s up with your GUI? I really feel like you don’t say me something… So please provide me this info.

Xtremus · May 11, 2019, 2:07pm

GUI is working properly now sir…I think you skipped reading my message after startx
