Hi.
I have this problem on Lenovo S540 and Ubuntu 18.04LTS
After reboot bbswitch is ON

But i look this situation:

file /etc/systemd/system/nvidia-prime-boot-service contains call
/usr/local/bin/turnoff_nvidia_at_boot, where last command change
bbswitch to OFF

#!/bin/sh
rmmod nouveau
rmmod nvidia_drm
rmmod nvidia_modeset
rmmod nvidia_uvm
rmmod nvidia
modprobe bbswitch
echo "OFF" > /proc/acpi/bbswitch

Bingo?  No...

After automatically run nvidia-prime-boot-service as a service, switch
stay is ON and  NVidia powered.

Okay, i run nvidia-prime-boot manually...

$ sudo tlp-stat -b | grep power_now
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/power_now                      =  18832 [mW]

$ sudo systemctl start nvidia-prime-boot

$ sudo tlp-stat -b | grep power_now
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/power_now                      =   5041 [mW]

Nvidia power is OFF.
Bingo is here?  No..

It's unpleasant  when to have everything, but it's not working properly.
I guess we can run bbswitch OFF later and it will work.
So far, there's only hope for cron.
