Public bug reported:
After sudo prime-select nvidia, recreate new initramfs and reboot I still land
on Gnome using Intel gfx card. I have color LED which provides me information
about which card is used. When I check which mode is selected with sudo
prime-select query I see nvidia but when I check which card is really used with
glxheads I see Intel.
For the true switch I need log off from Gnome, switch to virtual console and
type two commands:
sudo modprobe nvidia
sudo systemctl restart display-manager.service
After these two commands, I'm able to use Nvidia gfx card under Gnome.
In my personal opinion, this solution with switching between cards through
initramfs and reboot is a huge step back in the usability of Ubuntu. The
previous solution with alternatives was much much better for end user.
