Bug Description

I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and I've got some big problems to make bumblebee working.
Basically, every configuration of bumblebee, with the nvidia or nouveau driver, optirun just gives me this error

[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE)

In ubuntu 15.10 was working everything flawlessly

Running the daemon manually:

[ 330.722587] [INFO]bumblebeed 3.2.1 started
[ 337.342647] [ERROR][XORG] (EE)
[ 337.342681] [ERROR][XORG] (EE)
[ 337.342688] [ERROR][XORG] (EE)
[ 337.342692] [ERROR][XORG] (EE)
[ 337.342698] [ERROR][XORG] (EE)
[ 337.342703] [ERROR]X did not start properly

Bumblebee should running correctly, or at least give some configuration-releated problems.

Bumblebee just show in every situation the same error.

I've got no Xorg.8.log in /var/log

I've put an attachment of bumblebee-bugreport contents.

Solved by forcly removing the Xorg.wrap file, added by the xorg-legacy package which seems it is incompatible with bumblebee, but after the next reboot I am unable to log in into unity desktop. I don't know what is going wrong, in the previously version of ubuntu all was working flawlessly

You'll have to go into recovery after the first reboot because of a boot loop but if you follow the steps it'll work.
... actually maybe if you just try add nogpumanager to /etc/default/grub step 8 in the link.
I'm guessing the original issue is solved in step 7 with mesa and gl. I'm pritty sure I correctly blacklisted nvidia-361 when I originally had this bug.
I hope this helps.
