Bug#717687: bumblebee: cannot activate the discrete nvidia card

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: bumblebee
Version: 3.2.1-3
Severity: normal

rrs at zan:~$ optirun vlc
[  763.960198] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not
enable discrete graphics card

[  763.960246] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.


This started happening on the 3.10 kernel recently. I hadn't seen this
issue earlier with 3.9

I also rolled back the nvidia driver to 304.88 from 319.xx
