@Hamish: I should probably make nvidia-settings more robust so that it handles cases such as yours.
I wouldn't expect bbswitch to work on a desktop, although graphics offloading should still work. Right now, if bbswitch is not available or it doesn't work, the gpu-manager will change the alternatives and select mesa as a fallback. I should make the gpu-manager a bit more tolerant, so that it will still try to do the offloading when bbswitch is not supported (or not available). I've filed LP: #1349282 and I'll work on it. This should cover your specific use case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310023 Title: 14.04: Nvidia Prime is unable to switch to the Nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1310023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
