I've never run gpu-manager.
I use prime-select to choose between nvidia and intel.

I could not install wily on this laptop from a usb stick as the install process locked up trying to load the graphics drivers. I had to start with vivid as the older kernel did work. Upgrading to wily, the only way I could get things to work is to use a recent kernel with the binary nvidia drivers. I need a recent kernel to support the Intel 8260 wireless chipset. I'd prefer just to use the Intel graphics to get better battery life. But so far attempts to do that and have a working machine have failed.

If I try and boot after uninstalling the nvidia drivers, the I can't get a graphical login to work (see comment #33).

Is there anything I can do to resolve the above error with switching to Intel using prime-select? Or ideally, I'd not install the nvidia drivers at all. But no luck so far doing that.
