I installed bumblebee couple times in ubuntu 13.10,12.04 but now it's not working for ubuntu 13.10. I followed the instruction here (including nvidia-319-updates). When i try to run optirun it shows errors.

$optirun -vv firefox

04:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 740M] (rev a1)

At last i found the solution. I am posting it for future reference.

There are two problem.

1. bbswitch
2. nvidia-driver

ubuntu 13.10 is using 3.11.x kernel and bbswitch is not working in 3.8 to 3.11. It's kernel issue(according to blogs) and fixed in >= 3.12. I solved bbswitch problem by upgrading my kernel to 3.12.6. here

nvidia-304, nvidia-319 is not working in ubuntu 13.10. I am telling this because i run my card(740M) with nvidia-319 in 13.04. You have to install nvidia-331. This is a useful reference, how to install bumblebee with nvidia-331.
