Hi Tim,
Sorry about the late reply. I was sick. I tested with the following
packages:
$ dpkg -l | grep -i mutter
ii gir1.2-mutter-3.0 3.10.4-0ubuntu2
amd64 GObject introspection data for Mutter
ii libmutter0c 3.10.4-0ubuntu2
amd64 window manager library from the Mutter window
manager
ii mutter 3.10.4-0ubuntu2
amd64 lightweight GTK+ window manager
ii mutter-common 3.10.4-0ubuntu2
all shared files for the Mutter window manager
$ dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
ii bbswitch-dkms 0.7-2ubuntu1
amd64 Interface for toggling the power on nVidia
Optimus video cards
ii libcuda1-331 331.38-0ubuntu6
amd64 NVIDIA CUDA runtime library
ii nvidia-331 331.38-0ubuntu6
amd64 NVIDIA binary driver - version 331.38
ii nvidia-331-uvm 331.38-0ubuntu6
amd64 NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module
ii nvidia-libopencl1-331 331.38-0ubuntu6
amd64 NVIDIA OpenCL Driver and ICD Loader library
ii nvidia-opencl-icd-331 331.38-0ubuntu6
amd64 NVIDIA OpenCL ICD
ii nvidia-prime 0.6.1
amd64 Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime
ii nvidia-settings 331.20-0ubuntu8
amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
Case 1: lightdm, gnome-shell --replace in lxde
First attempt: the user is forced to logout. I am not sure what exactly
happens. maybe the X server gets killed and restarted?
Second attempt: it kinda works. I don't really see the top bar of
gnome-shell. But when I click "shutdown" button, I can see the top bar of
gnome-shell with weird layouts. I think this might because nvidia driver does
not detect and setup my monitor correctly somehow. Please check the screenshot
files: gnome-shell-replace-lxde.png and gnome-shell-replace-lxde-shutdown.png.
Case 2: login to gnome-shell directly from lightdm
This kinda works. The layout of the monitor is still crazy. Again, nvidia
driver does not setup my monitor correctly. Please check the screenshot files:
lightdm_gnome-shell.png and lightdm_gnome-shell2.png
$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 3
Provider 0: id: 0x28b cap: 0x1, Source Output crtcs: 2 outputs: 2 associated
providers: 1 name:NVIDIA-0
Provider 1: id: 0x45 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 2 outputs: 4 associated
providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 2: id: 0x45 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 2 outputs: 4 associated
providers: 1 name:modesetting
Case 3: switch to gdm
gdm can not be started. black screen.
Note that: I can not use intel card by "sudo prime-select intel"
anymore. I have to "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*" to make my intel card
work again.
