What happens if you try to tell bbswitch not to disable your nvidia card at shutdown? To accomplish this, see the "Enable card on shutdown" section in /usr/share/doc/bbswitch-dkms/README.md.gz, i.e.:
### Enable card on shutdown Some machines do not like the card being disabled at shutdown. Add the next initscript (`/etc/init/bbswitch.conf`) : description "Save power by disabling nvidia on Optimus" author "Lekensteyn <lekenst...@gmail.com>" start on runlevel [2345] stop on runlevel [016] pre-start exec /sbin/modprobe bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=1 pre-stop exec /sbin/rmmod bbswitch ** Changed in: bbswitch (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1231725 Title: bbswitch-dkms causes forced shutdown (even in reboot) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bbswitch/+bug/1231725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
