Hi,

After last updates have been installed the Civ6 (Steam version) stops to run.

The outputs:

Hi @gray380,

As per the latest update notifications:

Hope this helps.

3

Thank you for the hint, I’ll try it.
Meanwhile I’ve restored system (thanks to Timeshift) to 21.1.6 and now can run the Civ6.

4

Seems that workaround has been applied within updates:

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-nvidia-ignoreabi.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "IgnoreABI" "true"
EndSection

but still:

$ primusrun glxgears
primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check.
5

Try

Option "IgnoreABI" "1"

As per the post.

Edit:

Or,

primusrun -ignoreABI glxgears

If that doesn’t work, I have no idea.

6

“true” and “1” has the same results.

$ primusrun -ignoreABI glxgears
/usr/bin/primusrun: line 43: exec: -i: invalid option
exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [argument ...]] [redirection ...]

should be the other way to pass argument.

7

For the heck of it, because there is nothing to lose here, at this moment, try

primusrun --ignoreABI glxgears
8 
$ primusrun --ignoreABI glxgears
/usr/bin/primusrun: line 43: exec: --: invalid option
exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [argument ...]] [redirection ...]

BTW, I’ve added ignoreABI to the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia :

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout0"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Device1"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option "NoLogo" "true"
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "IgnoreABI" "1"
EndSection

and lost the device :wink:

$ primusrun glxgears
primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected.
9

Well, it’s a good thing I’m not a cricket player, because I’m stumped. Sorry.

Hope you manage, though.

10

After adding BusID:

$ cat  /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
##
## Generated by mhwd - Manjaro Hardware Detection
##
 
 
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout0"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Device1"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option "NoLogo" "true"
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
    BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "IgnoreABI" "true"
EndSection

I can successfully run primusrun glxgears.

But still have an issue with Steam:

This is weird but I’ve started it with:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6  optirun steam steam://rungameid/289070

13

Well that’s good then!

14

you did have an issue … but …
you should not run steam with optirun, prime-run, whatever.
such things should be put in a game launch options exactly like this, assuming no other options:

optirun %command%
15

Same issue here after the last update. I have the Option "IgnoreABI" "true" in
30-nvidia-ignoreabi.conf as well as BusID in xorg.conf.nvidia already but primusrun glxgears does not work. Note however that the error speaks of “ignoreABI” whereas the “i” is capitalized in the file above. I tried changing case with no luck.
