In addition to this, we should restore the default pci power control profile for the dGPU when re-enabling performance mode, as we do in Ubuntu 18.10. [Test Case] 1) Make sure that you are using a login manager such as Lightdm or SDDM. 2) Enable the bionic-proposed repository, and install the new "ubuntu- drivers-common", and the new nvidia-prime. 3) Make sure the nvidia packages are installed and working, and enable power saving mode: sudo prime-select intel 4) Log out, log back in, and check that the nvidia kernel module is not loaded: lsmod | grep nvidia 5) Select performance mode: sudo prime-select nvidia 6) Log out, and log back in 7) Check if the nvidia driver loaded: lsmod | grep nvidia [Regression Potential] Low, as switching already fails in 18.04, since X is started before udev adds back the dGPU.
