I have Nvidia Geforce 540M Gpx card with bumblebee installed and optirun <game / program> just works fine. Though I could not get HDMI display to work.

You could try reinstalling it:
Code: Select all
apt install --reinstall bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
@ anandrkris: That HDMI output is probably connected to your NVIDIA GPU, but the laptop screen to your Intel GPU: using monitors connected to different GPUs is not really supported on Linux so far (mostly an X Server limitation). That may change in future.

@AlbertP - Even I thought of suggesting re-installation to Ashish but looking at the first link seems more like a
bug with 3.1 version of bumblebee.
HDMI - Yes, I am aware of it. Have posted it
here as well. There are workarounds suggested by cloning the session, am yet to try it.

You're right, a new version of bumblebee appeared in the PPA the day before yesterday (I hadn't yet noticed that there was a 3.1).

Yesterday somebody told me in the chat the Bumblebee daemon could be started manually:
