Bumblebee not working on liquorix kernel

I installed bumblebee, and all of its required packages, including nvidia-dkms. I also added my user to bumblebee group and enabled the bumblebeed.service and restarted my computer several times. However, whenever I use "optirun", I receive the following message:

[ 6931.145873] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver
[ 6931.145903] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

So, I checked my system for errors with:

$ sudo systemctl --failed

No errors there.

And then with

$ journalctl -p 3 -xb

And found:

Oct 18 17:15:50 Trinity kernel: [drm:wait_panel_status [i915]] *ERROR* PPS state mismatch
Oct 18 17:15:53 Trinity kernel: [drm:wait_panel_status [i915]] *ERROR* PPS state mismatch

Oct 18 18:48:04 Trinity kernel: [drm:wait_panel_status [i915]] *ERROR* PPS state mismatch

I don't know if this is related to the graphics card.

So, I finally tried loading the nvidia module via

$ sudo modprobe nvidia

And then I received:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device

I did install nvidia-dkms, so how come it tells me that? Is the fault from the liquorix-kernel? I have not yet tested this on the default linux kernel. I will try that soon. But if it is only related to the liquiorix kernel, can it be fixed?

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Yes, the problem occurs only with the liquorix kernel.
