Indeed, I think I installed Bumblebee, because I thought that it would handle 
automatic switching between intel and nvidia as needed, but no way! it turns 
out it just allows you (or is supposed to allow, because I never managed to do 
even that)  to manually run stuff on NVidia. So, in practice I have (or used to 
have until this update) bumblebee, nvidia drivers, and the intel GPU actually 
used all the time with the nvidia card just sleeping and useless. And I don't 
care, as long as my system doesn't start freezing every time I unplug the 
external screen.
All was fine (except for the errors showing up at kernel updates), and now 
everything is broken again (i.e. nvidia drivers being used, and causing random 
freezes because they don't support Optimus - or at least that's the diagnosis I 
was given when I first had the problem a couple of years ago)
