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) doesn't remove
/etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf but purging does (apt-get remove
--purge).

Now I'm wondering what will happen to not so tech savy users...
In systems without dual graphics it prevents X from loading at all and even 
using ppa-purge to remove xorg-edgers packages does nothing (it was my first 
try) as /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf is still left behind.
