Optimus users can install nvidia prime:
$ apt-cache show nvidia-331 | grep prime
Recommends: nvidia-settings (>= 331.20), nvidia-prime (>= 0.5) | bumblebee,
libcuda1-331, nvidia-libopencl1-331, nvidia-opencl-icd-331
But saucy/updates has old one:
$ dpkg -l nvidia-prime
...
ii nvidia-prime
There has been many updates from xorg-edgers since this bug was
reported. Many people are left witha black screen without knowing what
is going on. Any comment from the maintainer??

You guys rock!!!
I've spent a week trying to figure this out, pulled out all of my OLD
Linux/Unix manuals(left CMU in 1994) and really haven't done anythign with
Linux since probably '98. I'm here to tell you things have changed. If I hadn't
been searching the net for ways to load nvidia-331
Hi Rostislav Stříbrný,
When using bumblebee, the goal is to use the nvidia driver and then use
optirun or primus commands to lauch your apps to use the nvidia driver.
If you don't want to bother with the intel chip, then I would suggest
you just purge bumblee bee and use the nvidia-xconfig command
I was also just trying to install the newest NVIDIA driver only. I was
quite lucky that it took me just a few minutes to find out what was
happening... It also helped me choosing NVIDIA Optimus option in the
BIOS settings. However, only Intel GPU started to work. Bumblebee was
unable to start nvidi
This is a pretty nasty one. All I did was updating my system as I do on
a regular basis and boom. 4h of cursing against the Ubuntu devs. (not
really)
Purging Bumblebee solved it for me.
Good thing I found this via askubuntu, just as I was about to ask for
help.

By way of a note, I'd like to point out that my 'puter has built-in
Intel grpahics on the motheboard and an NVIDIA graphics card. I normally
use the latter, but when I was hit with this issue, I reconfigured the
BIOS to use the Intel graphics instead, but that too was broken due to
this issue with
Excellente, only did 2 steps and rebooted. All is working fine with
nvidia-331. After installing the nvidia-331 package and before rebooting
do the following:
sudo apt-get purge bumblebee
sudo rm -fr /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf
sudo reboot
Done.
Many thanks Tareeq

OMG this is my problem. 2 days working on what in the world was
happening because the screen went black. Digging and digging until
finally I realized nvidia 331 was installing bumblebee and primus (What
in the world?) to my computer which only has one video card, the Nvidia
440 GT on the PCI Expres
Looks like the issue entered in 331.20-0ubuntu7. From the changelog[1]:
+nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 (331.20-0ubuntu7) trusty; urgency=low
+
+ * debian/rules, debian/templates/control.in,
+debian/templates/nvidia-graphics-drivers.dirs.in,
+debian/templates/nvidia-graphics-drivers.install.
On my system the bumblebee gets pulled because synaptics has been
configured to treat recommends as dependencies. I guess that bumblebee
maybe should have been marked as 'suggests'?
Anyway, after selecting / upgrading nvidia 331 but before actually
applying the upgrade I have deselected bumblebee,
@Tareeq: I understand, but I have the impression that it is bumblebee
that should load the nividia driver. What I think is happenening is that
bumblebee bails our because there is no optimus support on my system,
and thus I'm left without video driver.
I see xorg-edgers pushes bumblebee 3.2.1-5~xe
Hi Ferry,
It should be that when installing bumblebee it should install nvidia,
but installing the nvidia drivers should not install bumblebee.
Bumblebee is a 'hack' to get dual video cards working until nvidia
supports it in their linux drivers. What bumblebee does is it stops the
nvidia module
It might also bee that the nvidia driver should just be working with
bumblebee eventhough we don't have optimus. Question is, what is
missing?

I spent about 3 hours too. I was completely baffeled that downgrading
nvidia (from aptitude which is a pain compared to synaptic) didn't solve
the problem. Worse, ppa-purge also didn't change anything (downgrading
everything to the original state right?).
I tried modprobe nvidia which completes wi
It left me in the dark too (booting to text mode console) and i lost 3 hours
looking for the problem.
At first my solution was to manually load the nvidia-331 module with modprobe
and then I found this bug report sating that bumblebee blacklists the nvidia
drivers.
Uninstalling (apt-get remove)
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
