bumblebee / primusrun does not work with NVIDIA 375.66

[Giuseppe D'Angelo]

In Ubuntu 16.04.2, after upgrading nvidia-375 to 375.66-0ubuntu0.16.04.1, bumblebee stopped working. Attempting to launch anything with primusrun results in errors.

Upstream bug report seems to be pointing at a flaw in /usr/lib/nvidia-375-prime/ld.so.conf , that's why I'm assigning to nvidia-375 and not bumblebee: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/879

From syslog:

This is still valid, by the way.

Still an issue with 384.90. In Xorg8.log I see

[272208.772] (II) Loading /usr/lib/nvidia-384/xorg/libglx.so
[272208.773] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/nvidia-384/xorg/libglx.so: libnvidia-tls.so.384.90: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[272208.773] (II) Unloading glx

Is it just a packaging issue?

Another issue as well in Ubuntu 18.04 and NVIDIA 390.00

They managed a way to solve it.
