Bug Description
My laptop (Dell XPS 15 9560) fails to boot to the login screen when bumblebee is installed and running with the latest Bionic kernel 4.13.0.31. I recently upgraded to Bionic using update-manager -d.
My workaround is to use the old kernel 4.13.0.25.26 instead. My laptop boots fine with the old kernel and bumblebee works.
I suspect there is some problem with bumblebee's compatibility with the new kernel.

I have just tested my laptop by installing the mainline kernel 4.14.15. It boots fine and bumblebee works fine. So it looks like this upstream kernel work OK with bumblebee. Incidentally, I found out that I need to install libelf-dev in order for kernel modules to get built successfully with this upstream kernel.
