Okay:
The Bumblebee version in the USC didn't work for me, but the PPA does...
Think I'll stick to that solution until Prime gets fixed.

Title:
  14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card

Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I did a fresh install of 14.04 the day it was released. I use a XPS 15z 
laptop form Dell with hybrid graphics (Intel HD 3000 (probably) and Nvidia 
Geforce GT 525M). Booting doesn't work out of the box, but by setting
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_backlight=vendor dell_laptop.backlight=0 
quiet splash"
  in /etc/default/grub it works. acpi=off when installing, removed that from 
the grub file when installed.

  I expected that the Prime feature introduced in kernel 3.12 (kernel
  3.13.x here) would let me switch between the Intel and Nvidia cards as
  i like, instead of using Bumblebee, which doesn't work properly with
  everything. I've installed and tried both the nvidia-331 and
  nvidia-304 drivers. Exactly the same result from both.

  Attempting to switch to the Nvidia card in nvidia-settings (tried on almost 
all of the drivers available, including 331.38) resulted in an error message, 
in a new window, with no text.
  prime-switch in terminal gives this output: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  Sudoing the process gives no output at all. No graphical performance boost 
either, still the Intel card...

  sudo prime-select nvidia gives this output:
  Error: alternatives are not set up properly
  Error: nvidia mode can't be enabled

  I've also tried Bumblebee (not PPA) a few times, but it's also unable
  to switch.

  I'm able to use the Intel card temporary, but I would really like to
  be able to use the full power of my computer...
