Intel HD4000 +nvidia GT 650 M trouble

Hi!
I'm sorry for my bad English and newbie question in advance.
I'm trying to install LXDE+bumblebee+Intel HD4000 + Nvidia GT 650 M on my laptop.
I read Bumblebee Wiki but I wasn't successfull unfortunatelly.

So, what I have:

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL ~]$ groups zhksteal
wheel bumblebee zhksteal

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL ~]$ optirun glxgears -info
Error: couldn't open display (null)

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL ~]$ cat /etc/x X11/xorg.conf

[zhksteal@ZhKSteaL ~]$ optirun glxgears -info
Error: couldn't open display (null)

Strange thing from my point of view is "nouveau" in lspci output despite of blacklist it.

Help pls.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Intel HD4000 +nvidia GT 650 M trouble

Hello it looks as tho the bumblebee service is not started, run

 sudo systemctl status bumblebeed

and if what returns suggests its not started , start it with

 sudo systemctl start bumblebeed

now check again

 sudo systemctl status bumblebeed

and if that fixes it enable it on startup for a perminant fix

 sudo systemctl enable bumblebeed

good luck
