With none of the available drivers from "ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa" bumblebee is working.
"ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" does not support 16.04.
Your Troubleshooting WIKI is outdated !

Probably should try "ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa" ???

PS: Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia-352 runs perfectly.
PS2: Why you have deleted "bumblebee-ui" on GitHub ???

[Lekensteyn]

This line should serve as starting point:

[   157.352] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/nvidia-364/xorg/libglx.so: libnvidia-tls.so.364.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Apparently the ibnvidia-tls.so.364.15 library is not in the standard library path. Ubuntu must have moved it somewhere else so the library path in bumblebee.conf has to be adjusted.

About bumblebee-ui, it was removed on 5 March, perhaps @ArchangeGabriel knows more about it?

[melroy89]

@Lekensteyn
Don't we need more write members for this Bumblebee repository?

[ArchangeGabriel]

About bumblebee-ui: everyone implied in it, including @glyptostroboides, was agreeing on the useless state of the code (it wasn’t functionning anymore on any current distro, and it was even a reusable code base), while people where still opening issue about it not working. So, after a one week span for discussion where everyone involved in that repo as agreed, it has been removed.

For the state of this project, see #710. I’ll be back soon to handle all pending issues and fixes.

[sapjunior]

After many hours of trial, I finally get a solution for "optirun Error : Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":8"."
For NVIDIA-364 driver

1. add these lines in /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf [ These will make bbswitch work properly with nvidia-364 ]

alias nvidia-drm nvidia_364_drm
alias nvidia-uvm nvidia_364_uvm
alias nvidia-modeset nvidia_364_modeset
remove nvidia rmmod nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm nvidia

1. correct x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf and and i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf path - run these command

sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf [Choose the one with /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf]
sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf [Choose the one with /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa-egl/ld.so.conf]
sudo update-alternatives --config i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf [ Same as above ]
sudo update-alternatives --config i386-linux-gnu_egl_conf

1. add these line
   add /usr/lib/nvidia-364 to => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf
   add /usr/lib32/nvidia-364 to => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf
2. sudo ldconfig

try to run glxinfo & optirun glxinfo to check that all the configurations are correct

[Queuecumber]

Yeah that fixed it for me, I was playing with aliases all afternoon but the real trick was in the path configs, great catch on that.

So any guesses on who broke it: ubuntu or nvidia?

Edit:

In order to make sure running CUDA applications works, I did have to add:

install nvidia_364 modprobe nvidia_364_uvm; modprobe -i nvidia_364

to /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf along with the other recommended additions in step 1 of @sapjunior s post

[sapjunior]

In order to make CUDA application run without adding those lines (it will load necessary module automatically), you need to install nvidia-modprobe package by command

sudo apt-get install nvidia-modprobe

[Queuecumber]

Didn't seem to work.

When I commented out my addition, sudo apt install nvidia-modprobe, reboot:

% optirun /usr/local/cuda/samples/0_Simple/matrixMulCUBLAS/matrixMulCUBLAS
[Matrix Multiply CUBLAS] - Starting...
cudaGetDevice returned error code 30, line(166)

Starting glxgears:

% optirun glxgears &

% lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia              10203136  51

nvidia_uvm is not loaded which is needed for CUDA.

[molecularentropy]

Check out my tutorial for getting bumblebee working on 16.04 LTS: http://lenovolinux.blogspot.com.au/

I finished it a few hours ago. It is well tested on a Lenovo laptop, but may work for you as well.

[ArchangeGabriel]

So, this is a packaging issue specific to Ubuntu 16.04? A bit like #749 so… Definitively don’t like that distro. Anyway, this should probably be reported in Launchpad.

[ArchangeGabriel]

Maybe a bug should be filed at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bumblebee.
