So I'm out and about today, and rebooting while disconnected from power
is allowing me to select the nvidia card again. When I get home tonight,
I'll update if the external monitor over HDMI works again. If anyone can
shed some light on why this is happening, especially the bit about
/var/log
Looks like rebooting while connected to power will not allow the GPU to
work. No matter if the GPU is connected to the monitor over hdmi and
working fine before rebooting.
So the jury-rigged fix for now:
1. Unplug from power
2. Reboot and log-in
3. ~$ sudo prime-select nvidia
4. Plug in HDMI
Public bug reported:
Prologue: I did a fresh install of 14.04 and the install was pretty
rough with artifacts all over hdmi and needing to mouse over everything
in order to reveal an updated image. Kind of like scratching off gift
cards or lotto tickets, but with a screen. After a day or so
