Yesterday I installed nvidia driver 355.11 update from the "ubuntu fresh
graphics"-PPA and the problem seems to be fixed. I can switch via "prime
select" and login via light-dm works fine on nvidia.
There's only one flaw beloging to screen postioning but this is a new issue and
should not be
Sorry being late, I had not much time the last days.
I tried following previous versions with NO SUCCESS:
- nvidia-340.93
There's only one last official version in official repos I didnt't try:
- nvidia-304.128
But this is not worth trying because it has no prime support.
Thank you for helping.
In Trusty I used:
- nvidia-346

- nvidia-346-updates

Hello Christopher,
I updated to the bios version 2.61:
root@grueneerle:~# dmidecode -s bios-version && dmidecode -s bios-release-date
GAETA1WW (2.61 )
09/14/2015
The fix in version 2.61 was simply a security update:
Version 2.61
UEFI: 2.61 / ECP: 2.61
[Important] Fixed security vulnerability

I already tried switching to Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 while using nvidia-352 and
nvidia-355 (from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa). Both ways failed after clean
install. I'm moving to this bug from:

In the case of the reported ASUS laptop it could be a problem related to the
BIOS version, but not in my case. And truely not in the case of a lot of other
users.

I reinstalled my laptop with wily (15.10) while hoping kernel 4.2.0.7
could fix the problem. I got a step forward. The drm related error is
gone, but a seg fault rises up in Xorg.log and I ended up in a black
screen when switching to nvidia:

It really seems to be related to drm for i915 driver when switching to
nvidia via prime-select and login via lightdm. The Xorg.0.log shows an
error like:

Same problem for me. Temporarily workaround is to only use intel card by
selecting it through prime-select. This requires that you have installed
nvidia-prime:
- Get tty1 by pressing CTRL-ALT+F1
- Login with user with sudo rights
- Switch to intel card: sudo prime-select intel
- Restart
