Sudo optirun?

[csnv]

Before version 2 I ran optirun with no special privileges, but now I need to run it as sudo everytime.

Is it normal due to newer version or something else?

No, looks like it's a bug. Or maybe the program you run requires those privileges.

what happens if you just run "optirun"???

what does:

sudo ls -la /etc/sudoers.d/ and sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/bumblebee

[csnv]

It requests password for sudo.

Output for those commands:

total 24 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-07-12 04:46 . drwxr-xr-x 144 root root 12288 2011-07-12 13:41 .. -r--r----- 1 root root 62 2011-07-11 11:34 bumblebee -r--r----- 1 root root 819 2011-04-15 18:02 README

and

%bumblebee ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/bumblebee

sudo cat /etc/sudoers

and

ok... you are not in the bumblebee group:

gpasswd -a jorge bumblebee

It worked, thanks.
