This error exactly?
What did nvidia-detect give you?
The same error I mentioned before. When I restart the computer and just as it should go into the graphical login view I get this error in a white background:
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem occured and the system can't recover.
Please log out and try again.

Running nvidia-detect as instructed in the video had the same result as before:
I actually just messed something up it seems. I went to purge all the stuff installed on the video so I could get back in graphical mode and now I get into the login screen but when I enter the password (correctly ), it doesn't let me in. Just refreshes the login view.. I guess it's time to do a reinstall again and start fresh...
lsmod | grep bbs returns nothing. Probably because I purged everything nvidia related. My bad.
GTX 1050 support was added in version 375.20. Stretch has 375.82, no issue there.
With Bumblebee and Optimus done correctly, the Intel GPU will always provide the display. All Bumblebee optirun does is hand off the 3D rendering to the Nvidia GPU to do in the background, and then give it to the Intel GPU for display. If you followed the wiki for Bumblebee, the worst that happens is that the handoff does not work, you don't lose the GUI, since the Intel is always supplying that.
If you lose the GUI, that shows that you did not follow the wiki step by step. Usually that's because you created an xorg.conf configuration file like you would for a standard Nvidia GPU. DO NOT do this for Bumblebee! You should not need an xorg.conf file at all.
The other big mistake is not watching the terminal output for a build error and just assuming it worked. Seen that here many times.
Add non-free and contrib to sources
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi
Reboot pc
apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's/[^-]*-[^-]*-//')
Reboot pc
apt-get install mesa-utils
apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus
During update-initramfs some warnings about possible missing firmware for NIC
adduser user bumblebee
adduser root bumblebee
log out and log back in
As root:
optirun glxgears -info
[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver
[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled
As user:
optirun glxgears -info
[ERROR]You've no permission to communicate with the Bumblebee daemon. Try adding yourself to the 'bumblebee' group
[ERROR]Could not connect to the bumblebee daemon - is it running?
systemctl status bumblebeed -> active (running)
When I run 'id' and 'groups' command as user or root, I don't see myself in the bumblebee group on either?
But if i run 'groups root', 'groups user', 'id root' or 'id user', this does show them in the bumblebee group.
Next I did this, as instructed in the debian bumblebee wiki:
You must edit /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf using your preferred editor as root, and change "KernelDriver=nvidia" to "KernelDriver=nvidia-current", then restart the bumblebee daemon
service bumblebeed restart
systemctl status bumblebeed
code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
bumblebeed.service: Unit entered failed state.
bumblebeed.service: Failed with result 'exit code'.
Reboot pc
Now I see the myself in the bumblebee groups on both user and root.
optirun glxgears
[ERROR]The bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.
[ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?
I again change bumblebee.conf line "KernelDriver=nvidia-current" to "KernelDriver=nvidia"
service bumblebeed restart
optirun glxgears

[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled

Yesterday the kernel got updated to 4.9.0-4-amd64 and again the screen freezes at the login screen after inputting password.. Luckily I can still get in with the 4.9.0-3 kernel, but I'm starting to feel like maybe it's time to go back to Windows
