Hi everyone, You can solve the non-boot issue adding a parameter to kernel. It worked to me in my dell xps 15 9560 and Ubuntu 17.04.
you must, with root privileges, edit /etc/default/grub and add a parameter to the default kernel command line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_rev_override=1" after that, run the following commands as superuser: update-grub update-grub2 I suggest installing bumblebee, since prime-select does not help to reduce noise and power consuptiom. I actually do not now what it is good for. With bumblebee you will be running on intel most of the time and when some application requires strong graphics acceleration, you call it using the optirun command. To me this is perfect because I only use the GTX to run my CUDA programs and this allows me to leave the GPU for number crunching only. To instal and configure bumblebee, follow these instructions. I use nvidia-375 instead of the driver the author suggests: http://www.webupd8.org/2016/08/how-to-install-and-configure-bumblebee.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-prime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663926 Title: Dell XPS 15 9560 (Nvidia 1050) black screen, Feb 11, 2017 Status in Nvidia: New Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There have been multiple reports that "nvidia-prime select intel" results in a black screen on the new Dell XPS 15 (9560, with Nvidia 1050) See the following threads: 1.
