[Solved] primusrun not longer working after last update

Hi, I just ran pacman -Syu and Linux, nvidia and lib32 libs were some of those updated packages.
After the update, primusrun is no longer working, it reports the following error:

primus: fatal: failed to load any of the libraries: /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director

Any idea how to fix this? optirun is btw working fine

Same here, apparently those libraries have disappeared from that location

Quick fix:

Go to /usr/lib/nvidia and create symlinks

[root@enterprise nvidia]# ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so .
[root@enterprise nvidia]# ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 .

Done!

Thanks, that solved it for me too

That is a workaround, not a solution. Sounds like primusrun needs to be fixed.

Yep, this seems to have worked for me too. Thanks

Don't forget to symlink 32bit libraries.

cd /usr/lib32/nvidia
ln -s /usr/lib32/libGL.so
ln -s /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1

you should have a new config file, /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf.pacnew after the update, i noticed it was mentioned when pacman was doing its updates, so just rename that file to bumblebee.conf and backup your old file if you feel the need and then restart bumbleed service and your away.... at least it worked for me anway.

I can confirm that the above fixed it as well, even when the symlinks were not created.
Thanks for posting the real solution.
