Nvidia Prime error on Ubuntu 14.04 with geforce 740mx

I tried to get nvidia to work with no luck on my Lenovo Yoga 710. After referring to various online materials, I still can't figure it out. Included all details that I hope might help diagnose the problem.

(I have to update alternatives after every boot at this point!!)
