Briefly describe your issue below:
I was following this documentation(https://docs.parrotlinux.org/info/gpu-drivers/) for installing proprietary Nvidia driver.
Issue: When I had test run with optirun glxgears I had no errors and it worked but when I followed whole documentation(yes I did create those files and appended the content that instructed) and reboot the system then I ran optirun glxgears I got this error.

______$ lspci -v 

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
        !!! Unknown header type 7f
        Kernel modules: nvidia

I have also tried by writing in '/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf' file where "Driver=" placed "Driver=nvidia". Reboot the system. Still doesnt work.

I have a similar problem. I'm unable to enable bumblebeed and reboot my computer. It just hangs at the manufacturer logo after boot. System logs don't seem to reveal anything helpful but lspci -v seems to show the same warning message, !!! Unknown header type 7f
