After upgrading my Asus laptop to Ubuntu 15.10 I got dumped to black
screen with a flashing cursor.

To fix this I had to:
1. run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to finish installing packages that were already downloaded
2. run "sudo apt-get install --reinstall resolvconf" - because apt told me resolvconf was broken
3. run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" (and pick lightdm again) and then reboot (to get a graphical desktop back)
4. edit /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf and change KernelDriver, LibraryPath and XorgModulePath to point to the newer NVidia driver Ubuntu had installed, then reboot (to get bumblebee's primusrun command working again)

Not the greatest upgrade experience but its all working now.

Of course don't do the above unless you read a little and know what
these do, or have reason to believe that these will solve problems you
actually have. I'm sharing the list of things in case they give you some
hints to solving similar problems.

My specs: Asus X550L laptop, NVidia GeForce 840M graphics.

  I will check next week if these errors have any impact on my system.

  This is a Nvidia Optimus System with the Intel graphic card activated
  by default.
