Minor issue in current Bumblebee package

[openminded]

Continuing the discussion from [Testing Update] 2018-09-30 - Kernels, Nvidia, Wine, Pamac-Dev, Python, Haskell:

I had no time to deal with it but finally today I checked and yes, this file (nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf) is not installed to /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/ when installing bumblebee, and that makes nvidia to be always ON. Seems it must be added to the files that are provided by bumblebee.
Now when the file is copied bumblebee & bbswitch work perfectly fine (one can check -- without this file the output for bbswitch state is always "ON"):

$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch; primusrun glxinfo|grep vendor; cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch; sleep 5; cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch; glxinfo|grep vendor

0000:01:00.0 OFF
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: primus
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
0000:01:00.0 ON
0000:01:00.0 OFF
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center

To be clear: I just copied /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf to /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/ and that's it, bbswitch shows OFF state when there are no optirun or primusrun running, also the annoying messages like bumblebeed[691]: Failed to unload module 'nvidia' (ref count: 6) are almost gone.

In bumblebee PKGBUILD, there seems to be a wrong link to the commit (it links to Fademind-"Archive", instead of "commit") or I just speculate. I know zero about these git lab/hubs . Maybe @philm or @FadeMind can give a proper answer..

This is really strange, I can't understand why during the first login nvidia module is loaded but on the second one it's not. Trying different settings over and over again, will post if I find out more.

Sorry for being r.e.t.a.r.d.e.d enough to create this topic guys. I totally forgot I had conky with ${execi 60 /usr/bin/optirun -b none nvidia-settings -c :8 -query [gpu:0]/GPUCoreTemp -t}°C, which was the reason why nvidia module was loading during logging in.

I had a similar issue ages ago with a thermal monitor widget referencing the nvidia gpu temp, which caused bbswitch to fail unloading nvidia driver.
