[SOLVED][bbswitch/bumblebee] Unable to make it work

Hi!

When I tried to run optirun command I get this:

[gaetan@LAPT-ARCH-GNDE ~]$ optirun nvidia-smi
[  281.132334] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not enable discrete graphics card

[  281.132357] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

I can hear the GPU fan starting but I don't think the GPU is on because of this dmesg return:

[  250.903776] bbswitch: enabling discrete graphics

[  281.123779] pci 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3

I use TLP, I guessed that it was tacking control of the PCI port but I had already blacklist all Nvidia port in /etc/default/tlp:

[gaetan@LAPT-ARCH-GNDE ~]$ lspci | grep NVIDIA

Here is a summary of my /etc/modprob.d/

options bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=0
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
blacklist nvidia
blacklist nvidia-drm
blacklist nvidia-modeset
blacklist nvidia_modeset
blacklist nvidia-uvm
blacklist nvidiafb

And /etc/modules-load.d

i915
bbswitch

And finally my kernel boot line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on,igfx_off kvm.ignore_msrs=1 acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Linux acpi_osi=\"Windows 2009\" pcie_port_pm=on nvidia-drm.modeset=0"

Does someone have an idea on how to correctly set my bbswitch/bumblee system?
I run on the lts kernel and all package are dkms.
I can provide log and command return as wished.

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED][bbswitch/bumblebee] Unable to make it work

So, it seems like bbswitch does not work at all with newer laptop.
But, some people claim newer laptop can manage the nvidia card power with pm like TLP by loading or unloading the nvidia module.
Does anyone know how to set up this?

Probleme resolved by new kernel and nvidia drivers.
