Loading with bbswitch makes laptop unable to boot

[ghost]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is: I set the switching mode to bbswitch, and after doing so I cannot boot. I cannot enter tty. I just go through the initial boot sequence and then it freezes on a black screen before sddm (should) load. Bbswitch is installed, optimus-manager is, i have the nvidia driver, my kernel headers, correct kernel, etc. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

System info Please include :

• Your distribution: Arch Linux
• Your desktop manager: KDE
• You display manager: SDDM
• Your laptop model, if you think it could be related to the problem: XPS 15 9560
• The version of optimus-manager you are using : latest stable release (optimus-manager)
• Your custom optimus-manager configuration file at /etc/optimus-manager/optimus-manager.conf, if you made one

Logs Run optimus-manager --status in a console, and if an error message appears, post it here. The message should also point you to a log path, attach it here as well. If there is no error message but you are still experiencing issues, grab the most recent files in /var/log/optimus-manager/switch/ and /var/log/optimus-manager/daemon/.

My log files from boots with this issue are empty. If there is a way to get it to log somehow, I will post them.

To add: this occurs in integrated mode. I haven't tried other modes because I have no interest in ever using them. I only want the nvidia gpu disabled.

Do you have a GTX 10xx GPU? Have you added the acpi_osi kernel option to your bootloader? Mine did the same until i added acpi_osi=! and acpi_osi='Windows 2009' You should test accordingly on your laptop. There are multiple string pertaining to the "Windows" acpi override

Closing this case since a CMDLINE with acpi_osi option was provided but the original reported deleted his/her/they github account
