Can't enable nVidia proprietary driver with bumblebee on debian 8

0

I am running the Debian 8.0 64bit (Jessie, the stable release) on my HP laptop. I am having hard time in installing the proprietary nVidia driver of my graphic card

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 630M] [10de:0de9] (rev ff)

I have followed step by step the guides on debian wiki. Bumblebee is required since my graphic card comes with nvidia optimus. So far so good, I think I have all the right packages required on my machine. Now I have to enable bumblebee. It turns out the right command is

sudo optirun nvidia-settings -c :8

So a graphic front-end appears, I leave all the defaul checks and I have just to save the configuration file in the /etc/X11 folder as xorg.conf. But at the system restart I get the black screen and x can't start, it says that there are "No screens found". Here it is the log

I think your configuration is pointing to the wrong display number (unless you have lots of displays). You could try this:

sudo optirun nvidia-settings -c :0
