[SOLVED] AUR nvidia-utils-bumblebee

For more than a week now the nvidia-bumblebee and nvidia-utils-bumblebee have been broken (see the comments on AUR). Since there has been at least one kernel update, my previous nvidia driver wont work unless i reinstall it and therefore i cannot use my video card anymore using bumblebee. Unfortunetly i recently cleaned my packages cache and dont have the previous packages, otherwise i would roll back to the working version of bumblebee. I dont have the slightest idea how to solve this so i cannot take over the package myself and correct this. My question is: is there a repository of previous AUR packages that i can use to get the previous version of bumblebee?

Thanks in advance

Good that you're trying to help, but the OP is specifically talking about an AUR package.

@OP - why not just change the pkgver on the PKGBUILD, most PKGBUILDs don't change very much version to version. I maintain a history of my own AUR PKGBUILDs, you could ask the maintainer if he does the same (but try to change pkgver first, since most likely that's all that's needed).

Sorry for the delay. I solved it just by changing the pkgver and the md5sum for the downloaded nvidia driver. Thank you ngoonee for the quick reply.

I am using a Geforce 660M (Lenovo Ideapad Y580). I tried your approach of downgrading the package but it still does not work. Do you mind sharing your configuration files on /etc/bumblebee?

Thread hijacking is NOT encouraged. Please start a new thread (maybe linking to this one) and posting more details than what you've given. 'Still does not work' is not a question.
