Hi,

I'm trying to setup Bumblebee on my new Acer Aspire V5-573G (Haswell i5-4200U, Nvidia GT 750M) running Ubuntu 13.04. Whenever I try to launch a program running optirun, I get the error message stated in the title...

My dmesg log prints some error messages regarding bbswitch:

I already updated my nvidia driver to version 325 and my linux kernel to version 3.10.7, but the error still occurs. I'm attaching my log files below. Please let me know, if you need additional information. Thank you for your help!

Is it the same Error like in the old Kernel 3. xxx ?

In grub.cfg i used the option acpi_osi=Linux acpi_osi=! But that's none solution. bbswitch: _DSM call ....

Waiting for your reply.
