BUMBLEBEE VERSION
optirun (Bumblebee) 3.0

PROBLEM
When I run optirun -vv glxgears I get the following:

[DEBUG]Reading file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
[INFO]Configured driver: nvidia
[DEBUG]Skipping auto-detection, using configured driver 'nvidia'
[DEBUG]Process /sbin/modinfo started, PID 19866.

I followed the troubleshooting to the letter, but the problem is still there.
