Could you (also) try bumblebee-git from AUR?

@Snowman: bug  FS#34605  was about steam failing to run games for which i have no solution, this bug was about failing to run steam-client which was solved by removing breakpad pkg.

@beta990 ...hmm, strange results:

bumblebee-git with google-breakpad-svn installed (note there is a glitch in this pkg, i needed to comment out reconf line, than built fine)

(runtime outputs below..)

A) $optirun fails to run,

B) $optirun -b virtualgl steam (i didnt set primus default, as far as i remember, virtualgl was default (?) ) runs client and game (Osmos), but utterly slow and uses all my CPU (i guess all rendered by CPU, not GPU ?! )

(installing lib32- breakpad version does not help either)

C) back to official bumblebee (no -git): client runs much faster than -git (with/or w/o breakpad too), but games dont start at all!
D) bumblebee + primus dont even start a client

Thanks, mmm

we don't support the aur, google breakpad was removed, it is up to the user to clean up orphans

Please, read through the comments, this bug is not only related to (aur) breakpad. Reason, other bug was, IMHO inproperly, closed as duplicate of this (2nd comment), so this bug report stayed and contains already lots of info (3rd comm.) where breakpad is no longer an issue.
