["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sayantan Das, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (the one all the way at the top, and not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  running bumblebee in Ubuntu 14.04 results in call trace in logs

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I tried installing bumblebee with nvidia-337 graphics  driver.
  Bumblebee does not work.

  WORKAROUND: Don't install bumblebee.

  # Configuration file for Bumblebee. Values should **not** be put
  between quotes

  ## Server options. Any change made in this section will need a server restart
  # to take effect.
  [bumblebeed]
  # The secondary Xorg server DISPLAY number
  VirtualDisplay=:8
  # Should the unused Xorg server be kept running? Set this to true if waiting
  # for X to be ready is too long and don't need power management at all.
  KeepUnusedXServer=false
  # The name of the Bumbleblee server group name (GID name)
  ServerGroup=bumblebee
  # Card power state at exit. Set to false if the card shoud be ON when Bumblebee
  # server exits.
  TurnCardOffAtExit=false
  # The default behavior of '-f' option on optirun. If set to "true", '-f' will
  # be ignored.
  NoEcoModeOverride=false
  # The Driver used by Bumblebee server. If this value is not set (or empty),
  # auto-detection is performed. The available drivers are nvidia and nouveau
  # (See also the driver-specific sections below)
  Driver=nvidia-337
  # Directory with a dummy config file to pass as a -configdir to secondary X
  XorgConfDir=/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d

  ## Client options. Will take effect on the next optirun executed.
  [optirun]
  # Acceleration/ rendering bridge, possible values are auto, virtualgl and
  # primus.
  Bridge=auto
  # The method used for VirtualGL to transport frames between X servers.
  # Possible values are proxy, jpeg, rgb, xv and yuv.
  VGLTransport=proxy
  # List of paths which are searched for the primus libGL.so.1 when using
  # the primus bridge
  PrimusLibraryPath=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/primus:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/primus
  # Should the program run under optirun even if Bumblebee server or nvidia card
  # is not available?
  AllowFallbackToIGC=false

  # Driver-specific settings are grouped under [driver-NAME]. The sections are
  # parsed if the Driver setting in [bumblebeed] is set to NAME (or if auto-
  # detection resolves to NAME).
  # PMMethod: method to use for saving power by disabling the nvidia card, valid
  # values are: auto - automatically detect which PM method to use
  #         bbswitch - new in BB 3, recommended if available
  #       switcheroo - vga_switcheroo method, use at your own risk
  #             none - disable PM completely
  # https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Comparison-of-PM-methods

  ## Section with nvidia driver specific options, only parsed if Driver=nvidia
  [driver-nvidia]
  # Module name to load, defaults to Driver if empty or unset
  KernelDriver=nvidia-337
  PMMethod=auto
  # colon-separated path to the nvidia libraries
  LibraryPath=/usr/lib/nvidia-337:/usr/lib32/nvidia-337
  # comma-separated path of the directory containing nvidia_drv.so and the
  # default Xorg modules path
  XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-337/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules
  XorgConfFile=/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

  ## Section with nouveau driver specific options, only parsed if Driver=nouveau
