    Sure.
    In the original guide from the OP post I changed the step #9 with:
    Code:
    apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus
    Then:
    Code:
    nano +22 /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
    
    Driver=nvidia-current
    Finally I jumped steps #13 and #14 and decided to install the last version of CUDA (7.0.xxx), so I kept following the original guide from step #15.

    I followed your steps Davide3i but when I run "optirun glxspheres64" I get an error that the GPU cannot be accessed and that I don't have the right driver. Am I missing something?

    The exact errors, for optirun glxspheres64:

    [ 294.432628] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

    [ 294.432651] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

    for modinfo nvidia:

    modinfo: ERROR: Module nvidia not found.

    EDIT:

    I edited /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf and changed nvidia-current to nvidia and then optirun glxspheres64 worked but modinfo nvidia still gives me an error but iv managed to install cuda, hashcat and pyrit all working fine.

    I think that many errors may be caused by different systems' configurations. Still, if CUDA's computation is working, I would not mind to all the "errors" you've encountered.
