No GUI after installing bumblebee-nvidia in order to run PCSX2


Hello, I have a problem since installed bumblebee-nvidia, I did that to be able to run PCSX2, and well... it did that, but after a reboot I have no GUI.

My system:
CPU: ryzen 5 2600
mother board: gigabyte aorus B450 M
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660
Storage: Kingston SSD.
OS: Debian 10

So I have the latest nvidia driver with the latest module, after I installed bumblebee-nvidia (because I read that was the solution to get the GS plugin in PCSX2 wich I didn't have, the option was greyed out) I saw a message about a mismatched module, and that the easiest way to solve it was to reboot the machine. Now I've had a similar problem before, if I had know it was gonna mess with the driver and module, I wouldn't have done that! But the message showed up after all was said and done and the only option it gave me was "OK".

I tried reinstalling the driver but it's the latest one so it didn't do anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

As I know bumblebee is a solution for systems with hybrid graphics in Notebook with Nvidia Optimus.
Uninstall bumblebee from your system from the virtual console (Ctrl+Alt+F1).

Yes, that's it. That did it. Thank you very much!

I feel kind of silly, I did consider removing bumblebee-nvidia before coming here, but since it installed over 200 MB and uninstalling it removed 170 KB, I decided to leave it like that try to find an answer and then ask for help to not make things worse.
