Really need help with Bumblebee and Nvidia

Greetings,

I’m new to OpenSuse and decided to install Leap 15. Im using a nvidia optimus card, as such one of the first things i wanted to do post installation was to set up bumblebee and the nvidia propriety drivers.
I closely followed the instructions as per the documentation: SDB:NVIDIA Bumblebee - openSUSE Wiki
also installed the nvidia driver after that as per this link: SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE Wiki

The only issue I had throughout the process was that I could not find the

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-gfxG*.conf
file, I do not know if that could have caused the issue or not. The only file in the
/etc/ld.so.conf.d
folder was
graphviz.conf

Post-installation everything worked fine. I was honestly glad as I had previous troubles with nvidia drivers and other distros.

Upon running optirun --status, the output was

Bumblebee status: Ready (3.2.1). X inactive. Discrete video card is off.

I reboot the system after that.
When it booted up I tried running optirun --status again and the output was this:

1450.802987] [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.
1450.803041] [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?

I don’t know how to proceed and really would like to know how to solve this problem. Help would really be appreciated.

You should probably read this thread:https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/531327-Anyone-get-Nvidia-Optimus-working-in-Leap-15?

The official guide seems to be not that perfect, but Bumblebee is running according to the linked thread.

For gaming I changed to the Manjaro distribution, which installs ‘Bumblebee’ or even better ‘Prime’ without manual interaction necessary.
Opensuse is fine for office and internet using intel graphics.
