Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, after install nvidia binary driver
331.89 from Additional Drivers application then reboot, it shows black
screen, no login window, I even can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to
text mode, then I reboot and go to recovery mode, use 'prime-select
intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as
soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 64bit
Laptop: HP ENVY 15t Nvidia GeForce GT 740M + Intel HD 4600
Desktop: Unity
Kernel: 3.13.0
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Temporary workaround (intel session):
Reboot to recovery mode, mount the filesystem and run
`prime-select intel`. Than reboot.
Temporary workaround (nvidia session):
close the lid and open it back
