Public bug reported: The same problem as reported upstream in https://github.com/Bumblebee- Project/Bumblebee/issues/704 - secondary Xorg fails to start because it is being executed SUID by Xorg.wrap. Disabling executable bits on /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap makes it work.
Patch in https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/pull/743 allows setting Xorg binary path in bumblebee.conf working around this issue. As a side note - as shipped bumblebee contains references to nvidia- current, but it appears at least some of nvidia packages do not set this alias. I suppose when I started with Ubuntu using 14.04, nvidia-340 was current; I never changed this version since then. Now it is no more current so I had to edit bumblebee.conf to explicitly point to nvidia-340.
