Public bug reported: I don't know how to replicate this bug yet, I will update if I learn more. Several times as I test prime-select on my Thinkpad P50, I have ended up in situations where the laptop will not start graphics. This always happens if you leave the laptop in prime-select intel and then boot the machine with the BIOS settings Discrete (subject of another bug report).
At the moment, I have this state prime-select query nvidia but present is /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf The machine has three screens (internal, hdmi and 4K via display port). only the display port is on, and it's in HD mode. The nvidia driver is not loaded. Apparently nouveau is not too. Is there any log file that may indicate how this happens?
