FOLLOW-UP: I retried to install prime-indicator and that was successful this time. However: NVIDIA Prime still does NOT show the prime profiles and though the prime-indicator is now present and allows me to do a quick switch (the X-server is restarted), the only active graphics is the Mesa DRI Intel Haswell Mobile graphics.
This is the listing from the prime indicator installation (2nd time). It is translated from Dutch to English. herman@XNBnotebook:~$ sudo apt-get install prime-indicator Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen...
