See http://askubuntu.com/q/19486/6969 on adding a boot parameter. Use
the temporary
method as there are other ways to blacklist it permanently, i.e.
creating a file in
/etc/modprobe.d/ containing two lines:
blacklist nvidia-current
blacklist nvidia

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
How can do that? i.e where should I add that option
"modprobe.blacklist=nvidia-__current,nvidia" in the modprobe
configuration or grub ? I am not sure.
Cheers,

Can you try to prevent the nvidia
driver from automatically loading? I.e. boot with the
modprobe.blacklist=nvidia-__current,nvidia option.

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:
