Hello, If I use a kernel newer that 4.1, bumblebee doesn't switch the discreet card off after use. I can only run a program with primusrun. If I close it, I can't run another unless I reboot the laptop and that takes a very long time. I get [eugen@manjaro ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch 0000:04:00.0 ON Running dmesg I get [ 76.846847] bbswitch: enabling discrete graphics [ 76.968754] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

Newer than 4.1 or including 4.1? In that case you might want to try adding the boot option acpi_osi="!Windows 2015" Please attach your acpidump info as well (ideally create the tarball as described at https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542 and upload it there). Can you reproduce the problem with the nouveau driver without Bumblebee or bbswitch?
I don't have any problems with kernel 4.1, only with the kernels that came after. I attached my acpidump as you asked: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542/comments/782 Please check this here: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/780 Someone asked me there to try nouveau instead of nvidia and the problem was the same. Thanks
