I have a nvidia 330M and installed bumblebee from the ubuntu repository and
when tried optirun glxspheres the output was as follow:

$ optirun glxspheres
[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed
to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0.  Please

[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

Followed the instructions in troubleshooting and blacklisted nouveau driver
(I want nvidia driver) so I get this:

$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia              11713772  0

I looked into kern.log and have the following issues:
