Comment 9 for bug 1508573

Omega-xis:

>"hi there. I managed to fix this by installing the nvidia-prime package and tweaking the bumblebee config files a little. this is weird though since on previous versions of ubuntu the installation of the nvidia-prime package used to break bumblebee, but the same thing that breaks it apparently fixed it too."

I'm not a bumblebee expert by any means, but perhaps at least the documentation would need to be updated to include your use case noted at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee ? What do you think?

>"My Geforce GTX840M still can't run on the nvidia itself (using prime-select) but bumblebee works, so it's not a big deal anymore."

Were you expecting it to work with nvidia itself via prime-select?

>"Bumblebee is however broken when I put my laptop to sleep mode, since the discrete GPU is turned off but doesn't get back on again. a reboot fixes this, but that's for another bug."

Yes. Please feel free to file a new report about that via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Please feel free to subscribe me to it.

>"Do you still need the xdiagnose information? because I will happily provide it for you since I've had so many issues with hybrid graphics before and I really want this solved once and for all! I guess vulkan will fix this soon."

Anything that isn't the scope of this report, would need a separate report, one report per distinct issue.
