I'm reporting here a problem some users reported in the french forum. There are at least 3 people facing it, and there are using different distros (at least Ubuntu and Debian).

The problem happens after the first disable/enable cycle and dissapears only by rebooting. So that in fact, Bumblebee doesn't work at all, because the card is firstly disabled, so you have to enable it when you want to use Bumblebee.

Bumblebee can't start the server because the nvidia driver can't handle the card :
