Bumblebee / bbswitch not working after updates

I just did a bunch of updates and now my Laptop is running at 70 ° C with constant fan.

I have a clevo w230ss with GTX 860M

relevant packages:

nvidia 367.27-1
nvidia-utils 367.27-1
bbswitch 0.8-50
bumblebee 3.2.1-11


bumblebeed output:

modprobe: FATAL: Module bbswitch not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.13-1-lts
[ 3670.042458] [ERROR]Module bbswitch could not be loaded (timeout?)
[ 3670.042470] [WARN]No switching method available. The dedicated card will always be on.
[ 3670.043181] [ERROR]Module 'nvidia' is not found.

systemctl status bumblebeed

● bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bumblebeed.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name 'nvidia*.ko*'  

returns nothing

Why does

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)" 
 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
	Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 2300
	Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 860M] (rev a2)
	Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 2300
	Kernel modules: nouveau

say nouveau?

Re: Bumblebee / bbswitch not working after updates

If you are on the LTS kernel the relevant Nvidia package would be nvidia-lts (and bbswitch-lts) , the lspci output shows all modules technically usable for the card, since it doesn't talk about driver in use it means the module isn't being used but would be available.
