This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-prime - 0.5.2 --------------- nvidia-prime (0.5.2) trusty; urgency=low
* debian/control: - Add an alternative dependency on gdm and kdm so that gdm or kdm users are not forced to install lightdm now that nvidia depends on nvidia-prime. This fixes only the single graphics card use case (hybrid graphics won't still work without lightdm) but it's a step in the right direction (LP: #1262068). * debian/preinst.in: - Set the lightdm configuration bits only if lightdm is the default display manager. -- Alberto Milone <alberto.mil...@canonical.com> Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:43:58 +0100 ** Changed in: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- 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/1262068 Title: nvidia-prime should support gdm also Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Triaged Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: On Ubuntu GNOME we ship gdm by default, however nvidia-prime depends on lightdm. This means that 1. Anyone installing nvidia binary drivers will pull in nvidia-prime and subsequently lightdm. As a consequence of this they are also going to get the potentially confusing dconf pop-up asking them to choose a DM. 2. nvidia-prime probably won't work when using gdm I haven't looked to closely at how deeply integrated this is with lightdm, however we particularly don't want #1 happening, and it would be nice if #2 worked.
