[bumblebee] Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)

Hello my friends,
bumblebee does not work for me. I installed bumblebee, nvidia, nvidia-utils, mesa-libgl, bbswitch-dkms ...

nVidia 620M at PCIBus 01.00.0

First, nvidia is disabled by bbswitch.

# cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch

0000:01:00.0 OFF

Then I execute the command

# optirun -vv glxspheres

Now, the nvidia is enabled.

What is wrong? Thanks so much for help!

Re: [bumblebee] Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)

Just did a downgrade and it's working again, here are my versions.

linux 3.9.9-1
linux-headers 3.9.9-1
nvidia 319.32-2
nvidia-utils 319.32-1
bbswitch 0.7-4

If you have conflicts, I found it easiest to remove those (bbswitch, virtualbox in my case), downgrade linux and then install the appropriate  bbs/vb packages
