What I find _**DEEPLY**_ disturbing is that this bug has been lurking for roughly two plus years with absolutely _**NO**_ resolution whatsoever. Guys...you're a business and even if it's the "community" working on it, that business is bankrolling the resources you lot are using. If you hadn't figured it out...this rates one of Linus' trademarked vitriolic profanity laced rants. I'd do it, but I'm going to behave and try to figure out how to FIX this instead of "fix" it like you'd fix a dog or cat. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1507676 Title: Nvidia-Prime not switching from intel to nvidia leading to a black screen Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: STEPS: 1.

This happened on my Dell M3800 with the Optimus Nvidia GPU and nvidia- prime when updating to the 14.04.5 LTS HWE. The workaround I used was to force the modesetting driver in xorg.config for the Intel GPU, and not allow changes to xorg.config (see https://vxlabs.com/2015/02/05/solving-the-ubuntu-14-04-nvidia-346 -nvidia-prime-black-screen-issue/).

I have a system with intel graphics and nvidia k2100m. I was running nvidia-358 and nvidia-prime. I updated to the newest intel drivers yesterday and now on boot I get an error about my xorg.conf being incorrect. If I uninstall nvidia entirely everything boots just fine (i can use nouveau and intel still). I tracked that down to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu- drivers-common/+bug/1419507 which apparently people thought the issue was related to gpu-manager but Alberto Milone says is related to xserver-xorg-video-intel which led me to this bug.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1507676] Re: Nvidia-Prime not switching from intel to nvidia leading to a black screen
This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.4.11 --- ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.11) wily; urgency=medium * gpu-manager.c: - Rely on /var/log/syslog to get information about unloaded modules.

A "regression in the intel driver" doesn't seem to explain why this was not an issue in a gnome session, nor to the fact that - xset dpms force off xset dpms force on returned display both in greeter & session (and nvidia driver loaded & worked fine, with or without a visible display. you 'fixed' the issue but maybe not for the correct reason -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1507676 Title: Nvidia-Prime not switching from intel to nvidia leading to a black screen Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: STEPS: 1.
