[Solved] Bumblebee broken after installing systemd

Hi Arch Users!
I recently wanted to give systemd a try and made the switch using the Arch's Wiki as a guide. Everything was fine except when I tried running VLC through Bumblebee.

First error from optirun was that it could not connect to Bumblebee demaon. To which I did this:

yaourt -R bumblebee
yaourt -S bumblebee-systemd
systemctl enable bumblebee.service

After reboot the error was it could not load the GPU's drivers (I may be wording this wrong as I cant recall the exact phrasing). Since I recently updated the kernel, I thought it will be a good I idea to re-install Nvidia's drivers. So I did this

yaourt -S nvidia-utils-bumblebee
yaourt -S nvidia-bumblebee

Now I get a new error and do not know how to proceed from here on. The error is:

$ optirun -vvv vlc
[   73.424451] [DEBUG]Reading file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
[   73.570852] [DEBUG]optirun version 3.0.1 starting...

[   73.687530] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
[   73.687543] [DEBUG]Killing all remaining processes.

It may be purely coincidental that when I switched to sytemd that I see these errors and may well be the updated kernel. My observation is bumblebee was working yesterday and after I made a few system changes today (some that is irrelevant to this problem) bumblebee broke. The changes were
1. Changed to systemd
2. Changed to grub2
3. Updated kernel.

Any help are on this will very much be appreciated.

Regards

J

Re: [Solved] Bumblebee broken after installing systemd

HI

i have same error, To avoit them I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf.

this is my 20-intel.conf content

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
EndSection

I had used to enable sna instead of uxa, now I'm back to uxa but bumblebee work fine.
