Arch or Ubuntu (or else) ?

Could you paste the result of following commands :
sudo modprobe bbswitch sudo modprobe nvidia_current sudo modprobe nvidia
Also, could you give the content of /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf ?

@Metalhead666

ubuntu 12.04
btw kernel is 3.5

from "sudo modprobe bbswitch":

FATAL: Module bbswitch not found.

from "sudo modprobe nvidia_current":

FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found.

from "sudo modprobe nvidia":

FATAL: Module nvidia not found.

I'm a newbie in ubuntu, I started using it last week, and I really want this to work.
Thanks :)

bumblebee.conf:

(Removed by ArchangeGabriel, it was the default one, so nothing interesting here)

Ok, so I guess you're using xorg-edgers ?

Please do the following :
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch-dkms nvidia-current
Copy the output by the way.

Then :
sudo gedit /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Change Driver= by Driver=nvidia and KernelDriver=nvidia-current by KernelDriver=nvidia.

After that, reboot and try again optirun.

I guess, I'm not sure...

I tried "optirun glxgears" and now it has another error:

[ 77.087504] [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.
[ 77.087531] [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?

Hum, ok so change back Driver=nvidia to Driver= and KernelDriver=nvidia-current to KernelDriver=nvidia. And please copy the output of :
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch-dkms nvidia-current

Ok, same issue than #216, could you please ppa-purge Up-Ubuntu repos and try again on stock kernel.

Ok, then do the followings :
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo apt-get purge bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia bbswitch-dkms nvidia-current sudo ppa-purge ppa:upubuntu-com/nvidia-unstable sudo ppa-purge ppa:upubuntu-com/kernel-amd64
Please make sure that the 3.5 kernel is completely and properly removed and that you're booting on the stock 3.2 one.

Reboot and verify that your system works, then do the following :
sudo apt-get install bumblebee

@Metalhead666

well it actually worked with kernel 3.2.0-27 and nvidia driver 295.40

is there a way to update kernel back to 3.5 and bumblebee still working?

Thank you :D

Why do you need Kernel 3.5 urgently ? If you really want it, better use ubuntu team ones, which you could install this way :

mkdir kernel3.5.0 && cd kernel3.5.0
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/linux-headers-3.5.0-030500_3.5.0-030500.201207211835_all.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/linux-headers-3.5.0-030500-generic_3.5.0-030500.201207211835_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/linux-image-3.5.0-030500-generic_3.5.0-030500.201207211835_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/linux-image-extra-3.5.0-030500-generic_3.5.0-030500.201207211835_amd64.deb 
sudo dpkg -i *.deb 
cd ..
rm -r kernel3.5.0

But if it's just to run the latest kernel, it's not advised, it has just been published last weeks, and is recommended only for developers and advanced users.

I noted kernel 3.5 faster than 3.2 in my laptop, and I love speed :)

Thanks, for everything :D

That's normal, and I'm personnaly using bleeding edge packages because I like to have the latest up-to-date things. But when you live this way, you can't come and complain that things don't work.

Closing since everything is fine now.
