I think I understand the error. Sorry for my English.
Ubuntu 18.04. After installing nvidia drivers, nouveau modules are added to the 
modprobe blacklist. The path /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch disappears. 
To turn off the nvidia graphics card, prime-select creates a symlink in 
/etc/systemd. It tries to write /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch, but 
there is no such path and nothing happens.

  nvidia-prime used to be able to switch off and on NVIDIA dGPU. Now, a
  change in the nvidia packaging, and a change of behaviour in logind,
  broke this feature.
