3D acceleration works without Bumblebee?!

For the past several months I've been using  bumblebee to play games on my NVIDIA GPU, and I've always updated my drivers to the latest.
Now I ran a game by mistake without primus/optirun, and it worked! I tried with several GPU-intensive games, and they all worked, on even better fps than with bumblebee. And I do remember not being able to run them at all or barely at low fps on just the intel card.
bbswitch reports that the GPU is off, and there is no nvidia module loaded, but I have the proprietary nvidia drivers installed. How can I check what's going on?

The Intel drivers recently have improved quite a bit and support for Linux with games is always getting better with time, so I'm not surprised about this.
For example, going back to kernel 3.15, when my friend ran Compiz (Desktop Cube and a few other things) on his Intel HD Graphics 3000, it would barely do anything well, and be really sluggish. With 3.18/3.19-rc, the same things with Compiz are now blazing fast.

  • Why app store is not working without card details

    My app store is not working without entering card details , I lost my olf apple id .
    i MADE a new one .

    What do you mean by 'not working' ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you mean that you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to delete the card after entering it) or create a new account, and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it.
    How did you lose your old account ? If you can't remember its details then try the following :

  • I would like to be able to download updates for my Iphone and Ipad on my work computer but my home computer has all of my music on Itunes.  How do i downlaod updates at work without deleting all of the music which is stored on my home computer/Itunes?

    I would like to be able to download software updates on my Iphone and Ipad at work without erasing my music.  My home computer/Itunes has all of my music saved.  is there a way to use two computers w/o erasing information?  Or can i transfer the music from my Iphone to my work computer?

    - An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    - To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
    - Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

    Things to note:
    I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
    I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
    any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
    It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

  • By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

    rajlego,
    in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

    I need to add a secondary hard drive to my time capsule. Can something that has been set up for a windows machine work without re-formatting?

    In addition to Niel's comments, if you plan to use Time Machine to backup a Mac to the secondary drive.....that application needs a drive that has been specifically formattted for Mac.  That would be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    PCs can also read and write to the Mac formatted drive.

  • Will Xserve work without a rack?

    Before I get all these rants about how stupid this question is let me preface it with a short story:
    The owner of my company wants a new server. He asked me which I thought was better: tower or rack mount. I said that the PowerMac doesn't have the service warranty we would expect from a server, and as a desktop, is not really designed to run 24/7 the same way Xserve is. So we configured a new Xserve and it is in the process of being made. He then asked me the question: "will it work without a rack?" Being honest, I said "It would power on, but it's not recommended to run that way because it can't cool properly and it's not physically secure."
    Now he tells me we aren't ordering a rack for this $6000 server. Can you please list all the reasons this is NOT going to work, so I can go back to him with a huge rebuttal? It just doesn't seem logical to me to not spend a few hundred dollars to properly secure this very expensive piece of equipment, and I don't have any fight left in me to come up with all the answers on my own.
    PowerBook G4 12" 1.5GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   5th Gen iPod Video, 1st Gen iPod Nano

    He then asked me
    the question: "will it work without a rack?" Being
    honest, I said "It would power on, but it's not
    recommended to run that way because it can't cool
    properly and it's not physically secure."
    Speaking from my limited experience (18 months) with our Xserve G5: The Xserve does not need top and bottom venting; it cools front to back. A risk, though, will be that it gets shoved back against a wall and thus has poor airflow out the back, and you don't realize until you have done it what a mess of cables comes out the back and why you need the cable management arm (as aggravating as it is when you first use one) to manage the cables.
    The Xserve is heavy. It's difficult to walk away with one. The enclosure lock will still work without a rack, but it's not real security anyway, just protection against the drives being bumped out by accident. But an unracked Xserve will be prone to injury and falling off a table, etc. They are BIG and HEAVY. The Intel Xserve is even longer than the Xserve G5 (look at the dimensions).
    If the concern is the expense, well, you can build your own rack rather cheaply. I suggest Starcase (http://www.starcase.com), which lets you build a rack of any dimensions - you will probably want at least a 3U or 4U rack for your Xserve - 1U for the Xserve, 1U for a UPS (APC has a nice 1U 1000W UPS and a same-size 750W UPS), 1U for a tape drive and autoloader (you will need to back up all that data), and you might need another few rack units of height. The nice thing about the Starcase rack solution is that, as your rack height needs expand, you can simply get the four corner posts of greater height and grow your rack. Starcase also has side panels, top panels, etc. For custom-height solutions (rather than their pre-bundled standard sizes), see:
    http://www.starcase.com/customsteel_rackstore.htm
    Check the Starcase prices so you can present your boss with a true picture of the cost. They are built like a tank. I STRONGLY advise that you put your Xserve in a rack; otherwise, it will be very difficult to service when the time comes - and you WILL need service, eventually.
    However, note that the Xserve is NOISY. If the Xserve is going to be in an office environment, you will need an acoustical enclosure, such as the XRack Pro. See:
    http://www.xrackpro.com/
    Very nice, very quiet, and a bit pricy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mozilla can't find a valid PDF file to open in a browser, but Chrome or IE work without problem. Why?

    The system I'm running is Scientific Linux.
    PDF files, I need to open in a browser, are on the file server, but in the same folder as my html files, etc.
    So, in HTML I gave the link to some PDF to open it in the browser, however, Mozilla says it can't find the file by the given URL.
    Proper permissions to access the files are given.
    All is lowercase, no spelling error.
    On Chrome, on the same computer, everything works fine.
    I've also tested on Windows, still Chrome or IE work without problem.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your reply!
    I've checked the link, and everything is set to its normal form in my browser.
    Otherwise this particular case, the browser has no problems viewing PDF files,
    but here, when I try to open the PDF (using HTML code, say,
    href="downloads\file1.pdf" where "downloads" is a folder on the same level as the html file) then the error I am getting is this
    Not Found
    The requested URL (the name) was not found on this server.

  • How can i get my apple id to work without a credit card?

    i try to get it to work without a credit card but it wont let me. it is not fair to me.....

    If you have an account that previously had a credit card and you're now trying to remove it, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5366
    If you are trying to set up an iTunes Store account without a credit card, presuming you only want the free apps take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • Toplink app works without oc4j,fails with security excp. in oc4j[SOLVED]

    OS: Windows XP
    jdk version: 1.5.0.04 (installed normally with windows installer, no tampering)
    JDeveloper version: 10.1.3.2.0 (base installation)
    I'm new to JDeveloper and I'm working on SRDemo application from online ADF tutorial under JDeveloper. After 6th chapter I tried to run the app with embedded oc4j. After a login to app i got a toplink exception caused by a security exception. I've tried toplink part of the application with a standalone client it works without this strange problem. Also other toplink tutorials that i have work without oc4j.
    The exception is this:

    This happens when i run toplink project inside oc4j, with a normal java client outside oc4j it works.
    The strange thing is the root cause of the problem (the exception complaining about signer) . If the root cause of this problem was really correct system wide, neither security code samples nor the standalone client that i tried would have worked.
    Only similiar issue I've found on the net is a problem that occured under eclipse due to a bug in previous versions of jce, but it seems this is no longer an issue.
    No one other than me seems to have this problem, so this implies a problem with my system, but the root exception about signer information (which is not correct) says there is something wrong with toplink/oc4j runtime or there is some subtle bug.
    I am trying to download another jdk1.5 version to see if this is a subtle bug of java-1.5.0.04 and oc4j, but either sun servers or my isp has a problem because the download is in the order of bytes and fails all the time.
    I think there can be a problem with the java2.policy file under oc4j config dir, but i don't know if it is really used and necessary or not.
    I don't know much about oc4j config so i need some help to proceed. thanks in advance

    Sorry, I tried something that I should have tried before posting, that gives another information about my problem.
    when i use standalone oc4j using start_oc4j.bat under jdev/bin, I also get the same security exception stack (nothing deployed to server) during server initialization. the default java command in start_oc4j.bat is this:
    OC4J_OPTS=
    VM_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
    JAVA_COMMAND="%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" %VM_OPTS% -jar oc4j.jar %OC4J_OPTS%
    if I change the command to this:
    OC4J_OPTS=
    VM_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xbootclasspath/p:"%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\ext\sunjce_provider.jar"
    JAVA_COMMAND="%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" %VM_OPTS% -jar oc4j.jar %OC4J_OPTS%
    and put sunjce_provider.jar on boot classpath I don't get that exception and oc4j initializes normally. My new questions are:
    1. what is the reason for this behavior
    2. how can I specify boot classpath option for embedded oc4j and/or JDeveloper
