Nvidia-setting error

Hey,

On my notebook with Optirun/Bumblebee I can't start nvidia-settings. It says segmention fault.
dmesg shows:

[ 1233.637470] nvidia-settings[14726]: segfault at 18 ip 00007f162365dd0a sp 00007fff7856ffe8 error 4 in libc-2.19.so[7f16235db000+1a4000]

Any idea?

Cheers

Re: Nvidia-setting error

have you tried with sudo? Primusrun may also be worth a shot

Hi,
