[SOLVED] Bumblebee cannot remove nvidia

With the last update in the nvidia driver my bumblebee stoped to work.

That's the version of my packages

lib32-nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-4
lib32-nvidia-utils 364.16-1
lib32-opencl-nvidia 364.16-1
nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-3
nvidia-dkms 364.16-2
nvidia-settings 364.12-1
nvidia-utils 364.16-2
opencl-nvidia 364.16-2
bumblebee 3.2.1-11
bbswitch-dkms 0.8-1
linux 4.5-1
linux-headers 4.5-1
linux-zen 4.4.5-1
linux-zen-headers 4.4.5-1

With a freshly booted system, that's what my logs say:

systemctl status bumblebeed.service
bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bumblebeed.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Qui 2016-04-14 21:03:38 BRT; 11min ago
 Main PID: 570 (bumblebeed)
    Tasks: 1 (limit: 512)
   CGroup: /system.slice/bumblebeed.service
           └─570 /usr/bin/bumblebeed

cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch 
0000:08:00.0 ON

trying to manually remove all modules result in this:

rmmod: ERROR: Module nvidia_drm is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module nvidia_modeset is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module nvidia_uvm is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module nvidia is in use

lsmod | grep nvidia
Module                  Size                 Used by
nvidia                     10211328      3

So it's looking like nvidia driver is loaded and I cannot unload it, so the nvidia driver is eating my battery live and there's not I can do about this. Is there any way to resolve this? Is there any advantage to use prime instead bumblebee? If yes, how can I do that?

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee cannot remove nvidia

Solved. I had an 20-nvidia.conf preventing my pc to use xf86-video-intel.
