Same problem here. When the nvidia GPU is prime-selected, I'm getting a black
screen on startup, though Ubuntu booted and I can hear it working when I adjust
sound volume with the keyboard. When intel GPU prime-selected, everything
works fine.
Like others who posted here, for me the GPU switching function worked before
end of January, when after some updates (I really don't know which ones, I
didn't follow) this error occured and keeps persisting. I tryed the solutions
described on the posts #15 and #18 but they didn't work for me. Additionally I
get an error message at startup: System program problem detected. Do you want
to report the problem now?. When I select Report problem..., it shows a
screen where I can check error details and it says ExecutablePath
/usr/bin/Xorg.
Please keep this thread alive, we need a solution.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, after install nvidia binary driver
331.89 from Additional Drivers application then reboot, it shows black
screen, no login window, I even can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to
text mode, then I reboot and go to recovery mode, use 'prime-select
intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as
soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.
