Public bug reported:
I installed nvidia-prime to try it, but later decided to stick to
bumblebee. I removed (apt-get remove nvidia-prime). On the next reboot,
lightdm failed to start: I was dropped to a blank screen with no error
messages.
On investigating, I found this line in lightdm.log:
[+1.18s] DEBUG: Launching process 1486: /sbin/prime-switch
[+1.18s] CRITICAL: g_setenv: assertion 'value != NULL' failed
[+1.18s] CRITICAL: g_setenv: assertion 'value != NULL' failed
[+1.18s] WARNING: Error executing child process /sbin/prime-switch: No such
file or directory
I did "apt-get remove --purge nvidia-prime", and things worked fine next
reboot. Attaching complete lightdm.log.
