Hello, everyone. I’m trying to figure out whether or not using a debugger like Nvidia’s Graphics Debugger is possible with an Optimus video card on Linux (right now I’m on Ubuntu 15.04). Currently, I’m having problems connecting to the default port under localhost; I’ll have a program running through bumblebee, for example, and the Linux Graphics Debugger won’t detect anything.
I’ve attempted this running the debugger through Bumblebee, in addition to without.
Any ideas what the issue is?
Here’s Bumblebee’s output when running the debugger:

As you can see, it doesn’t report any issues.
