Hey,
I am trying to use my discrete graphic with bumblebee optirun and i get this error
➜ ~ optirun bash
[39803.789923] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not enable discrete graphics card
[39803.790001] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
i tried turning on the device with
➜ ~ tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON
but i still get the same error.
When i first installed my system a week ago or so it was working when i tried it 2 days ago it was not.
so i removed everything and reinstalled it again. as its the best way to solve propriety driver problems and i still get the same error
Some useful information

I hope these information could be helpful to discover the issue.
thanks
Note: Sorry if its too much information i just thought it would be easier to figure out like that
EDIT: I have uninstalled bumblebee, bbswitch and nvidia driver and reinstalled nvidia and now i can load the driver
➜ ~ lsmod | grep nv
nvidia_drm 49152 0
nvidia_modeset 782336 1 nvidia_drm
nvidia 11816960 1 nvidia_modeset
drm_kms_helper 126976 2 i915,nvidia_drm
drm 294912 10 i915,nvidia_drm,drm_kms_helper
nvme 28672 4
nvme_core 28672 6 nvme
but if i install bumblebee it goes off. I think bumblebee turns off the GPU for power saving but it can't turn it on for some reason.

What kind of laptop? There is information on here specifically to kernel 4.8 and a similar issue concerning bbswitch and I think Dell laptops. Try searching.

I have found the solution here
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150315

It took a whole 2 days of searching hehehe

Hello, if this is really a solution for this problem, then it would be nice if you post this on the bumblebee github thread https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bu … issues/810
On my case I cant use this workaround since the file doesnt exist
