Public bug reported:

The same problem as reported upstream in https://github.com/Bumblebee-
Project/Bumblebee/issues/704 - secondary Xorg fails to start because it
is being executed SUID by Xorg.wrap. Disabling executable bits on
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap makes it work.

Patch in https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/pull/743 allows
setting Xorg binary path in bumblebee.conf working around this issue.

As a side note - as shipped bumblebee contains references to nvidia-
current, but it appears at least some of nvidia packages do not set this
alias. I suppose when I started with Ubuntu using 14.04, nvidia-340 was
current; I never changed this version since then. Now it is no more
current so I had to edit bumblebee.conf to explicitly point to
nvidia-340.
