Bug Description

- What I expected to happen:
Open nvidia-settings and switch between Intel and Nvidia graphic cards.

- What happened instead:

Steps (case 1):
1. Install propetary driver.
2. Reboot and select Wayland session.
3. Open nvidia-settings --> "ERROR: Unable to find display on any available system"

Steps (case 2)
1. sudo prime-select intel.
2. Reboot and select Wayland session.
3. Open nvidia-settings --> "ERROR: Unable to find display on any available system"

Steps (case 3)
1. sudo prime-select nvidia.
2. Reboot and select X11 session.
3. Open nvidia-settings. --> Not ERROR.

In my second test, this step generate an error:
"ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system"

Steps (Case 4)
1. sudo prime-select intel.
2. Reboot and select X11 session.
3. Open nvidia-settings --> "ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system"

Notes:
- The command: sudo prime-select nvidia[intel] always work
- Secure boot is disabled
