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, bbswitch, primus and socal (whatever that may be), now works. Also now changed by synaptics setting to not automatically pull recommends. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265570 Title: nvidia-331 update installs bumblebee [xorg-edgers] Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi xorg-edgers team, I just got the nvidia-331 update, from nvidia-319, but the update installs bumblebee, however when bumblebee is installed it blacklists the nvidia kernel modules. Which bumblebee is suppossed to do but it breaks xorg if you aren't running an optimus based GPU. Uninstalling bumblebee does not remove the /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf config file and as such the driver is still blacklisted until you either modify the file to not black list the nvidia-331 module or remove bumblebee.conf. I have an nvidia 560 GTX video card.
