Bumblebee [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG]
1
Though this may seem like a duplicate question, none of the suggestions I've seen have worked for me, however nearly all posters get good results.
I'll start with hardware:
Metabox W350ST notebook
Intel Core i7 4700
16GB RAM
GTX 765M (with Optimus)
128GB SSD
1TB SSHD
My initial error output when trying to optirun a game is:
[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please
[133.973920] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
If anything else is needed to troubleshoot this just let me know.

I came across this in having the same problem (with the same computer even), and I thought I'd post what I've found in case you're still having issues. Note that I am running Debian unstable, so my solution is a bit different than yours would be. There seems to be an issue with the nvidia driver 304 and kernel 3.10. Upgrading to kernel 3.11 did not work for me, but upgrading the driver version did, or perhaps a combination of the two. So now I have kernel 3.11 and nvidia driver 325 and optirun works. The driver is in the Debian experimental repository, but I'm sure there's some Ubuntu repo wit

I did Pahos recommendation in the comments of your question, and installed the newer driver nvidia-331 from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and in bumblebee.conf changed all nvidia-current to nvidia-331 and kernel driver to nvidia_331.
I have since rebooted and Optirun is working.

I had the same problem Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please...
I did Pahos recommendation in the comments of your question, and installed the newer driver nvidia-331 from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and in bumblebee.conf changed all nvidia-current to nvidia-331 and kernel driver to nvidia_331.
I have since rebooted and Optirun is working.

Have you configured Bumblebee changing
/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf? If so post the contents of that file. Also which driver are you using? NVidia 310/313/newer? Nouveau?– Salem

I came across this in having the same problem (with the same computer even), and I thought I'd post what I've found in case you're still having issues. Note that I am running Debian unstable, so my solution is a bit different than yours would be. There seems to be an issue with the nvidia driver 304 and kernel 3.10. Upgrading to kernel 3.11 did not work for me, but upgrading the driver version did, or perhaps a combination of the two. So now I have kernel 3.11 and nvidia driver 325 and optirun works. The driver is in the Debian experimental repository, but I'm sure there's some Ubuntu repo wit
