I had managed to make bumblebee work yesterday and today i launch update manager and i see some new nvidia drivers. I dont know why but i installed them...

I shouldnt have done that lol

Now im back with this classic error

[   84.300183] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

[   84.300310] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

Of course I've googled it before, there are so many threads about this problem but I couldnt find a solution.

Ive blacklisted nouveau, i tried to blacklist nvidia

In the conf, driver=nvidia and kerneldrive=nvidia too

i dont know what to do anymore

i am thinking about removing linux and going back to 7, its so hard its so exhausting please help

Please check the answer of 2nd link, I posted – Web-E Mar 07 '13 at 17:12
  • I already did all that and i wrote in my post that i had done it. Linux headers are not a problem. I think its relative to the new nvidia driver that I installed this morning and i suspect alot of people are gonna have the same problem than me... – Cotcot Mar 07 '13 at 17:21
  • maybe because of the primus update in bumblee 3.1? I will search a bit tommorow. i am not having any problem as of now. Please mention the graphics card model also,. By mentioning , I meant to say which answer you have tried already in my earlier comment.. btw Your first comment did came to my notification – Web-E Mar 07 '13 at 19:28

I think that I was in this situation in the past and that this helped.

In the terminal type or copy paste:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current

Then to make the optimus card functional you can try to install bumblebee again here.
