>From the attached bumblebee issue, carlicious recently posted that a fix
for running Ubuntu apps other than wine is to set
__GLVND_DISALLOW_PATCHING=1 (and this works for me - I tried running
0ad, glxheads).

** Description changed:

  bumblebee fails to work in Ubuntu 18.04 with nvidia-driver-390 unless
  these configuration changes are made:
  
  1. For optirun to work, /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf needs two library
  paths changed (because of the changes for GLVND):
  
  [driver-nvidia]
  LibraryPath=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
  
XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input
  
  With these changes, optirun works correctly on my laptop (using the
  primus bridge) but primusrun still fails.
  
  2. For power management to work (ie turning the nvidia card off whilst
  not in use), the nouveau and nvidia modules need blacklisting so they
  don't load on boot, and nvidia_drm and nvidia_modeset need aliasing to
  off so they never load. Otherwise, nvidia_drm attaches to drm_kms_helper
  and then bumblebee can't unload the nvidia module and turn off the card.
  This configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-bl.conf works for me:
  
  blacklist nouveau
  blacklist nvidia
  blacklist nvidia_drm
  blacklist nvidia_modeset
  alias nouveau off
  alias nvidia_drm off
  alias nvidia_modeset off
  
  (The first two lines are already in bumblebee.conf. I found I also had
  to alias nouveau to off because gdm?/mutter? so desperately wants to
  load it.)
  
- 
- Update: aliasing nouveau to off doesn't stop the nvidia-fallback service from 
loading the nouveau module, so if nouveau is still loading, you could try 
running this command:
- 
+ Update: aliasing nouveau to off doesn't stop the nvidia-fallback service

+ Finally, to run mesa applications, you need to set this variable:
