I suspect gdm is not calling gpu-manager, which would make it a bug in

** Description changed:
When I use nvidia-settings GUI to switch to the Intel GPU, I save nvidia
settings, log out, and try to log back. But nothing load and GDM
restarts.
I have to open a tty and type sudo prime-select nvidia to get a
successful login.
