Bug Description

Installed xubuntu 14.04 64 bit on HP laptop with Optimus graphics. when logging out from the xubuntu session, I get a blank screen and unresponsive PC. Needs a hard power down.
I do have bumblebee installed. Problem happens whether I use nvidia-current or nvidia-331 drivers.
In case anyone asks: I do not have nvidia-prime installed because it doesn't work for me.

So, even switching to the linux console (tty1) via Ctrl+Alt+F1 is not possible anymore? Furthermore, please attach /var/log/syslog and the log files located in /var/log/lightdm/ to this report.

Should update this:
I had to install xubuntu with the nomodeset switch to boot from the DVD and didn't realize this option was installed in my /det/default/grub.

After install I removed the nomodeset and now the laptop boots fine and the blank screen at logout is gone
