Bumblebee version: rohan@darkstar:~$ optirun -V
optirun (Bumblebee) 3.2.1

Description:
Optirun fails with the following error:
rohan@darkstar:~$ optirun glxgears
[ 106.726671] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please

[ 106.726725] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

Previously, it used to force shutdown my PC. But after a few reboots, it is only failing with this error.

Arch Linux? Why don't you report it upstream then? Upstream is at Github:
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues

Can you try installing the linux-lts and nvidia-lts packages?

Sorry, I did not realise this tracker was for Ubuntu related issues only.

This bug happens not only on Ubuntu. When I start programs with optirun, it hangs up for few seconds and then shuts down my computer.

I think the issue is with Primus but however, bumblebee is broken and optirun doesn't work with my nvidia optimus card.

Unfortunately I removed Arch so I can no longer reproduce or provide more information on this bug. Sorry.
