Hi
I also installed Bumblebee recently. Can anyone help me on how I set the machine to start both the bbswitch module and Bumblebee daemon at start up time?
I am sorry for asking such basic questions.
Thanks,

for bbswitch :
Try and go to location "/etc/modules-load.d". Create a file here called 'bbswitch.conf' with contents like this :
bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=1
I don't remember how i did it, but from terminal, probably something like this should work :
Code:
sudo echo bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=1 > /etc/modules-load.d/bbswitch.conf
for bumblebee :
When you download the install files (i don't really know what they are called), from here for bumblebee v3.0
Link :
HTML Code:
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/downloads
and extract it to become a folder, there is a folder called '[bumblebee-installfiles]/script/systemd'. inside it is a file named 'bumblebeed.service'. Try to copy this file into the folder '/lib/systemd/system'. You may need admin rights to do this, so go to terminal, type 'sudo nautilus', copy-paste the file.
Next, this 'service script' (or whatever i am supposed to call it) need to be enabled. do the following in terminal.
Code:
sudo systemctl enable bumblebeed.service
restart your computer and try checking if they worked.
P.S : As a noob linux user, i cannot guarantee the above will work for you, or if they have bad side-effects.
