I'm trying to run optirun on my Lenovo G580 with nVidia GeForce 610M on Ubuntu 14.04. Getting the following error

$ optirun glxgears

[   98.457967] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) intel(0): [drm] failed to set drm interface version: Permission denied [13].

[   98.458061] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

My .conf file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7278805/

Please help asap,thanks

EDIT: I also tried to run nvidia-settings to enable the nVidia gpu,but it does not work and gives a blank error/dialog box:

I recently found a crude solution to this: purging all nvidia* related files using:

    sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

    sudo apt-get purge bumblebee*

    sudo apt-get update

And then using "Additional Drivers" from Dash, I selected "Using Nvidia binary driver- version 331.38 from nvidia-331(proprietary,tested) and selected "Apply Changes" to confirm.

A short download later, I could run glxgears with 4 times the framerate I ever got with the Intel HD 3000.

Although this is not a solution to my problem, still it enables me to use my Nvidia GPU,so I think i'll use this for now till I get a satisfactory solution to bumblebee.
