DI 15.3 Error message on start bbswitch: No discrete VGA device found

I am running Deepin on a workstation with a built in Intel graphics card but choose to ignore this and have installed an Nvidia card instead - it has way better quality.

Recently I since the 15.3 upgrade I've been getting this message

on boot up. It appears about 10 times with different numbers preceding it. I can't find a simple answer to this and don't quite know how to get rid of the messages and/or fix the problem.

Your thoughts are welcome

I guess bb is bumblebee perhaps? Do you have it installed?

According to Synaptic it is not installed.

OK, I did a search for you: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=bbswitch&atb=v23__&ia=qa

As you can see, it is a kernel module for bumblebee. Go ahead and blacklist it, it is doing nothing with your setup but giving the not found message.

Thanks Emerson for taking the time, I'll black list it and see how it goes (when I get some time).
