Finally have purged all the nvidia-prime.* inside /var/lib/dpkg/info/ and /etc/init/ to be able to remove nvidia-prime package.
note: as gdm is now used due to lightdm is actually broken (but still installed), i wonder about the "start with lightdm" inside /etc/init /nvidia-prime setting; should it also propose "gdm" or/and else as a fallback ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1366284 Title: Failed to issue method call: Unit nvidia-prime.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
