I solved the problem of my nvdia GT 520M by doing :

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia

Title:
  nvidia proprietary drivers are broken

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgrade Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 and noticed that all desktop effects
  became slow.

  In my dmesg I have these lines

  [   17.039854] init: Failed to spawn nvidia-persistenced main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
  [   17.040940] init: nvidia-prime main process (2139) terminated with status 1

  
  And it seems that something wrong with path/directories where scripts perform search for nvidia binaries.

  For example, in /etc/init/nvidia-persistenced.conf we can find this:

  exec /usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced --user nvidia-persistenced

  but, I really have not nvidia-persistenced binary in /usr/bin/, it is
  in /usr/lib/nvidia-331/bin/

  
  Also, after installing nvidia-331 I have not nvidia-xconfig command in shell, but I have /usr/lib/nvidia-331/bin/nvidia-xconfig
