Yesterday I installed nvidia driver 355.11 update from the "ubuntu fresh

select" and login via light-dm works fine on nvidia.

In the case of the reported ASUS laptop it could be a problem related to the
BIOS version, but not in my case. And truely not in the case of a lot of other
users.
Simply make a google search with "nvidia prime ubuntu black screen" and filter
by date "last month". You will find tenth of results w
I already tried switching to Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 while using nvidia-352 and
nvidia-355 (from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa). Both ways failed after clean

Hello Christopher,
I updated to the bios version 2.61:

The fix in version 2.61 was simply a security update:

Sorry being late, I had not much time the last days.
I tried following previous versions with NO SUCCESS:
- nvidia-340.93
There's only one last official version in official repos I didnt't try:
- nvidia-304.128
But this is not worth trying because it has no prime support.
Thank you for helping.

Same problem for me. Temporarily workaround is to only use intel card by
selecting it through prime-select. This requires that you have installed
nvidia-prime:
- Get tty1 by pressing CTRL-ALT+F1

- Switch to intel card: "sudo prime-select intel"
- Restart light
It really seems to be related to drm for i915 driver when switching to
nvidia via prime-select and login via lightdm. The Xorg.0.log shows an
error like:

I reinstalled my laptop with wily (15.10) while hoping kernel 4.2.0.7
could fix the problem. I got a step forward. The drm related error is
gone, but a seg fault rises up in Xorg.log and I ended up in a black
screen when switching to nvidia:
