[SOLVED] Bumblebee/bbswitch Not Disabling Nvidia Card

Hello all.  I've been able to resolve a wide variety of problems by searching through the posts here, but it seems I've come up empty on this one.

I'm running Arch on a Sager NP5160 (Clevo W150HN), i7-2630 QM, 8 GB RAM, running Optimus with an Nvidia GT 540M Optimus setup.

I've had Bumblebee and bbswitch running fine in the past, but recently I needed to reinstall Arch (my own fault).
I installed bumblebee and bbswitch again, as described on the wiki. 
However, once everything is installed and configured, bbswitch is still unable to deactivate my Nvidia card.
I'm using the proprietary Nvidia driver.
I have verified that bumblebee.conf has the driver set to Nvidia (not nouveau), and uses bbswitch.
I have also tried blacklisting both nouveau and nvidia, as well as adding bbswitch to the modules section of my mkinitcpio.conf file (and regenerating the initramfs).

A curious point that I have noted is that the Nvidia card is disabled during boot, and up until I login.
Once my information loads, the Nvidia card is activated and I cannot deactivate it, even manually.

Here is the dmesg output when I run glxspheres64 using bumblebee:

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee/bbswitch Not Disabling Nvidia Card

So what happens when you 

cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
 echo "OFF" >> /proc/acpi/bbswitch

?
Show the log output during enabling and disabling the card with that method.

I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do.  (Gune | Titan A.E.)

Hi, thanks for the response.

The command appears to complete successfully, but the logs shows this:

I can't seem to figure out why the nvidia module is still loading, I've gone as far as blacklisting it on startup.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee/bbswitch Not Disabling Nvidia Card

Sorry to bump this, but I've found some more information.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do with it yet.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the relevant packages outlined in the Bumblebee wiki.
When my laptop boots, the Nvidia card is disabled up until I log in, at which point it appears to be perpetually enabled, unless the Optimus indicator lights are showing incorrectly.

This is the log output I receive when I run optimus glxspheres64:

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee/bbswitch Not Disabling Nvidia Card

Do you have any script run on log in which loads (implicitly) the nvidia module?
For example if you run nvidia-smi in your script it would load the nvidia module and prevents disbaling the card until it is unloaded.

I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do.  (Gune | Titan A.E.)

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee/bbswitch Not Disabling Nvidia Card

I removed a plasmoid that was calling nvidia-smi on startup, but that's the only thing I've found that would implicitly load the nvidia module.

Did removing it solve your problem?
If notyou have one source less at least  wink

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebee/bbswitch Not Disabling Nvidia Card

I removed it, but I was still experiencing the problem.
Now strange to say, in spite of that, Bumblebee and bbswitch both appear to be functioning normally and I can switch between the two video cards with no trouble.

I am not sure what effected the change.  There are only two things I did that could have caused it, in my opinion: I removed the laptop-mode-tools package, and I ran a system update (that didn't include any updates to bumblebee, bbswitch, or the drivers).
Beats me what actually solved it, but I'll mark the thread as solved.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond and tried to help me out.
