Nvidia - bumblebee stopped working

[Johann Spies <johann.spies@gmail.com>]

I am running testing and have used bumblebee for years.  Now it stopped working.

I have tried to reconfigure my system using the guidelines from
https://www.pcsuggest.com/install-and-configure-nvidia-optimus-with-bumblebee-in-debian/
and
https://www.pcsuggest.com/nvidia-optimus-troubleshooting-in-debain-kali-linux-ubuntu/
but this is the output after doing all those things - the same as
before I started:


Now this happens:

optirun -vv glxgears

Although the error message says there is no nvidia module

% lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia              12308480  0


Any idea what broke it and how to fix it?
