[errors.ubuntu.com bug bridge]

[ Impact ]

MATE Optimus runs at MATE session startup and if you have the appropriate nvidia drivers and hardware configuration it will always crash. It is currently the No.3 crash on errors.ubuntu.com :-(

[ Test Case ]

Providing you nvidia/intel hybrid graphics the nvidia proprietary drivers installed, MATE Optimus will always crash.

When the updated package is installed, under the same hardware/software configuration as described above, MATE Optimus will now remain visible in as a tray applet.

[Regression Potential]

None.
