Hi. I have had some experience in Linux but using Manjaro for the first time. The OS is really good, quite happy with it at the moment. I can’t seem to run Green with envy in this…I tried
optirun gwe
And I got
[ 1359.014783] [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.
[ 1359.014834] [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?
How do I fix this?
Is it running?
You need to answer that question.
Are you asking how to find that out?
Make sure to add yourself to the bumblebee group
sudo gpasswd -a [your_user] bumblebee
then activate the service
sudo systemctl enable bumblebeed.service
reboot and try again GreenWithEnvy.
How do i find that?
Did what you asked…with
optirun gwe
I am still getting the same error.
Running gwe gives
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gwe", line 53, in <module>
from gwe import __main__
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gwe/__main__.py", line 52, in <module>
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, locale.getlocale())
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/locale.py", line 610, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
What next?
Come on - please do some research
…how to activate/deactivate/start/stop a service and check whether it is running or not.
In this case, if the name of the service is correct in the example given by @XRaTiX
it would be:
sudo systemctl status bumblebeed.service
probably this check would also work without sudo
starting and stopping services … will not
check your locale settings?
check how you installed gwe
How did you install it?
I ran sudo systemctl status bumblebeed.service and this is what I got,
● bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bumblebeed.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

My locale settings looks fine i.e., most parameters are set to en_IN
I install gwe from AUR, using yay.
Did you do this?
Also post what gpu drivers you have
mhwd -li
Yes, I did.
Output of mhwd -li

Thats the reason,you are not using bumblebee drivers,you are using the newer official nvidia drivers,instead of optirun is prime-run,so you don’t need bumblebee at all,its a driver for older cards so no need to change anything.
As @Nachlese suggested, I tweaked around with my locale settings…changed all profiles to en_US.UTF-8.
Then, using prime-run gwe i got,
/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en-US.UTF-8)
(gwe:3491): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:50:15.760: Locale not supported by C library.

Running nvidia-settings prints,

Should I try changing my locale settings? If so which one should change it to?

I don’t know how this can have happened but:
all of your locales are wrong (spelled wrong)
instead of: en-US.UTF-8
it should be: en_US.UTF-8
… although
locale -a
says that you have german, US english and indian locales available
I suggest to check /etc/locale.gen
whether the right locales are uncommented there and how they are spelled
then re-generate your locales with
locale-gen
Then you likely need to re-login
and check the result.
There are quite a few threads here on the forum addressing locale issues - check them if the above doesn’t fully sort the issue for you.
