>"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.
