I am using 64bit system with 32bit bundled subsystem. In both I have bumblebee installed, but I have only one 64bit kernel.
I used to start daemon on 64bit system and do:

optirun 64bit_application
schroot -p -- optirun 32bit_application

for 64bit/32bit application and everything worked perfectly up to bumblebee 3.0.

Now the 64bit optirun is OK, but the 32bit one works no more. Always when I want to use optirun in 32 bit i receive following error.

schroot -p -- optirun glxinfo

ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.
[ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?

I am in the group bumblebee and even when I hard link subsystem's /var/run to main system's /var/run...so bumblebee.socket can be seen in 32bit subsystem, the error remains the same :(.
