Intel® Core™ i7-4712 GTX 860M / intel #38 didn't do it for me #18 is more complicate than putting laptop to sleep & back on on nvidia boot (to keep the ability to switch easily between graphic card)
however, KUZnets has written a script to work around but haven't tested it although it sounds very good; see KUZnets comment, March 08, 2015 9:49 PM here : http://vxlabs.com/2015/02/05/solving-the-ubuntu-14-04-nvidia-346-nvidia- prime-black-screen-issue/ if someone (less noob than me) could confirm this a decent workaround (for laptop user at least) that won't create more problem than it solves ? thanks -- 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/1362848 Title: ubuntu 14.04 after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 black screen and freeze Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-346 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 from Additional Drivers application then reboot, it shows black screen, no login window, I even can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to text mode, then I reboot and go to recovery mode, use 'prime-select intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.
