oh wow never seen a bios like that, dam.  I use nvidia,  but I'm on a desktop 
using a 650 ti which is well tested with linux.  Might get better help with 
bumblebee on fedora forums for your system. I have no experience with it, but  
Bumblee issues are one of the most common problems in linux help channels.

There is a 3 things:
1. Nvidia created automatic(!) technology and name it - Optimus. There is no 
the opportunity to disable it.
2. Torvald showed finger to Nvidia. And Nvidia did not pay much attention to 
the drivers for Linux.
3. MSI created laptop (which i bought) with stupid bios, which have no function 
"disable integrated devices". I cant disable GPU or camera or something else.

Funny, right?

2016-10-21 Thread neznaika
Well.. I found my old pc, i found fedora18. I installed it. Then step when i 
need to install kernel-devel ("matching with qubes kernel") doesnt work. 
Because fedora have no devel-kernels with "qubes" or "pvops" in the name. There 
is no kernels even with "4.1.13-9". So i dont know how it can "matching". Then 
i just entered line "...install kernel-devel kmdtool..". And you know, kmdtool 
was not installed. There was something like ".. kmdtool not avialable" and 
"nothing to do". Something like that.. And i think maybe i should try to do the 
"manual install". Ok! I downloaded NVIDIA-.run file from 
nvidia.com at the new pc. Then copy it to dom0. Then i long time think why step 
with "./NVIDIA..." not work? 3 hours in the google, then "chmod a+x 
NVIDIA..run" and it began install - ez. But.. It stuck! 1 hour and i understand 
why: 0 free space memory on the ssd. Wow.. When i installing the qubes - i did 
it as ussally. Strange.. But ok. I begin searching info about lvm.. Well, that 
thing to hard for me. And i think - maybe i should try to do the backup VMs and 
quickly reinstall qubes? And i attached internal hdd, but it has non-english 
name and backup was failed. I found another one device and backuped all VMs and 
fedora23-template. 4 or 5 times i reinstalled qubes. And now i have the qubes 
again.  This time with KDE and not xfce. I restored VMs (except 
fedora-template, because cant delete it from qubes manager). As ussally i wrote 
my MAC for DHCP in the "cloned mac" string, but this time the net doesnt work. 
I dont know why. I re-pluged the cable. I tryed to see net-settings in the 
KDE-menu, but qubes ask me the root password, which i skipped when was 
installing. Ipconfig - command not found. Ifconfig - command not found. 
Hwaddress - command not found. I feel i can break my laptop soon =\
I hope you understand my english, i write from mobile, without even the 
google-translate.

I find I only need proprietary drivers for gaming, to play like cs:go or dota2 
on steam on linux.   But other then that nvidia open source drivers are great 
on linux desktop with my gtx 650.  in fact with the newer KDE  I found 
extremely buggy with the opengl set(screen flickers, artifacts),  but found 
open source to work perfectly and cooler then the proprietary ones.  Same issue

really new graphics driver you might have problems.  But if its already a year

Since 18 repos aren't around on the live server any more, you need to find the 
archive link from fedora.
Since I'm not at home I don't have it right infront of me at the moment.
If you haven't found them by the time I get home I'll get the repos links and 
post them up.

But it's the same way as any other repos, so it's not hard to set up, just hard 
to find them since they moved them to archive/storage.

Command not found because that isn't a command.
Are you trying to install the template?
If so... run, as root, 

qubes-dom0-udpate --enablerepo=qubes*templates fedora-23-minimal



Maybe just install Fedora 18.
Then set up the Repos.
Then build the drivers.
That's what I did.

"any Fedora 18 system"
I had a fedora 18 system that I used at the time, I still have it around here 
somewhere, even still have the Live DVD's too.
It worked fine.

It's not ALWAYS the case.
Sometimes the free drivers don't have bugs and the propriety do.
You can not be sure unless you go through the source code and check it yourself 
and then compile it from that source code yourself for installation.



All I did was follow the instructions on the page(s).
Read the instructions on those pages carefully.

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/install-nvidia-driver/
These instructions work. I used the Manual Installation back in the day. These 
days I just use Nouveau because there is no need to install propriety drivers 
since version 3.1. Since in 3.2 they fixed the display issue that was happening 
when they upgraded the GUI. (even though upgrading the gui in a bad way in my 
opinion).
There is no big secret, it's on their website.
Installing bumblebee, well, just add the repo and do the install, simple.
