strangely a custom symlink for nvidia_drv.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ and changing sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf from nouveau to nvidia-331 kept on being undone in the filesystem. Quite unexpected for those changes to undo themselves. ?!
Anyway, after removing the nvidia-prime and bbswitch packages from my system that's no longer happening, so I guess I can blame them. :) I still don't have multi-head working but at least the nvidia driver is found in Xorg.0.log now, so I guess the rest is up to me, xorg.conf, and Xinerama or modern equivalent, and I can stop spamming this ticket. regards -- 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
