Ok, fresh install today's image
1. The manifest say python-minimal is included but it's not installed,
$ apt-cache policy python-minimal
python-minimal:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.7.14-2ubuntu1
Version table:
2.7.14-2ubuntu1 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages
2. Also on the manifest but not installed are python2.7
python2.7-minimal
3. Installing nvidia-384 goes fine. If opening nvidia-settings after
install but *before* rebooting it actually opens.
4. After rebooting it fails to open as noted in the bug report description.
5. Installing python-minimal or python fixes this or maybe they just need to
use python3

Title:
Cannot open nvidia-settings on pc with a hybrid device (or use prime-
select), missing python
Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in nvidia-settings package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
You would see -
$ nvidia-settings
** Message: PRIME: Requires offloading
** Message: PRIME: is it supported? yes
** (nvidia-settings:1848): ERROR **: PRIME error: Failed to execute child
process “/usr/bin/prime-select” (No such file or directory)
Trace/breakpoint trap
Additionally if trying to run prime-select you'd see -
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/prime-select: No such file or directory
One would need to go
python3 /usr/bin/prime-select intel
This is because the python package has been removed from image & isn't
installed by either nvidia-settings or nvidia-prime.
Please adjust this packages to either use python3 or dep to python
