Nouveau GP108; kernel module apparently crashes
Pardon me if the Nouveau kernel module is not in your domain, but I saw that there were some Bugzilla tickets which were for Nouveau kernel issues as well, so I decided to open a new ticket here.
I am currently running Ubuntu Eoan Ermine and have the latest updates installed. After installing Bumblebee and Primus, I tried to run optirun -vv glxgears -info
, but the screen merely froze for about fifteen seconds and optirun
errored out. After looking in dmesg --human
, I saw several consecutive stack traces with regards to the Nouveau driver, as if it had crashed.
The output: dmesg.txt dmesg_--human.txt (this is where the issues start: [Apr11 09:28] bbswitch: enabling discrete graphics
)

My laptop is the Dell Inspiron 3793.
Side note I tried the proprietary NVIDIA drivers after seeing this, but the ability to choose the Ubuntu Wayland session disappears, that is the cog next to the login button disappears, GDM, if I install those drivers, or at least some package related to them.
Edit
I am not sure if it is of any relevance, but I also added nouveau.modeset=1
after trying this for the first time, adding the Nouveau module to initramfs just in case.
