Bug Description
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.

nvidia-prime (0.8.6) bionic; urgency=medium
[ Alberto Milone ] install. in, 00-prime- offload, nvidia- prime.nvidia- prime-boot. service:
* debian/control:
- Drop dependencies on bbswitch, lsb-release, pciutils,
and on login managers.
- Make nvidia-prime arch independent.
* debian/rules,
90-nvidia.conf,
debian/dirs.in,
debian/
oem/
prime-offload,
prime-switch:
- Remove obsolete files.
* prime-select,
debian/
- Drop code to deal with alternatives, since the nvidia
packages don't use them any more.
- Rely on nouveau and vgaswitcheroo to switch off
the discrete GPU (LP: #1757180).
