Proprietary drivers: Unable to locate/open config directory: "/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d" about bumblebee

[IceM4nn]

I got the solution for this issue. First, make sure the folder /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d exist. In my case, the directory exist but it is empty. Create a blank file 10-dummy.conf

sudo touch /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/10-dummy.conf

And then, restart the service:

sudo systemctl restart bumblebeed.service

Also in my case I have an error about No devices detected referring the wiki - troubleshooting will help you resolve the issue.

I tried the solution suggested here (create a dummy entry, restart bumblebee). It just moved to a different error then:

$ primusrun glxgears
primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)

[IceM4nn]

If someone has the similar problem like whatever module is missing, you have to install the missing module. Look up the package name from apt and install the relevance module.

apt search xserver-xorg-input

In your case, it missing the "mouse" module, so install the mouse module.

sudo apt install -y xserver-xorg-input-mouse

That problem should be solved.

I have the same issue with a gtx 1060M, debian testing as OS and the nouveau driver.

I face same issue with GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q in Debian Sid

Anyone have solution for this issue?

[drew-parsons]

You're right, xserver-xorg-input-mouse and xserver-xorg-input-kbd helped fix that problem. But there are many other problems (now stuck on "Could not load GPU driver" [NVRM: fallen off the bus], even with kernel option rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=2 )

Ran into this issue while on an upgrade to Debian Bookworm. The solution, though, is listed here: https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee#Common_issues

You may have to set the BusID manually, in /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

This solved it for me.

I upgraded to Debian 12 on laptop and I had the same issue. I think that these config dirs errors or missing mouse/keyboard modules don't matter. I think that modern linux uses libinput anyway.

What helped me is that I uninstalled nonglvnd version and then I installed default version (IIRC nvidia-driver-libs) and rhen it started working.

Well, Idk if it still can help someone, but I was facing

Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)

because my nvidia module (nvidia_drv.so) was not listed in the default folders from /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf , so, i needed to find where the driver was and add it.

Summing up, I've added the last part of the following, restarted the service (sudo systemctl restart bumblebeed.service) and it worked ... FINALLY.

before:
XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules

after:

XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/xorg/

... Of course ...

You need to have nvidia-driver installed (try checking nvidia-smi or apt search xserver-xorg-video-nvidia )

Or finally, try adding manually the BusID in the xorg.conf.nvidia file, by searching for it through lspci | grep VGA
