I have notebook MSI GS60 6QE with nvidia 970 + intel 530 graphics, last available version of bios at the moment.

I installed Ubuntu gnome 16.04.2 (kernel 4.8.0-52-generic), with nvidia driver 375 or 378 or 381 (from nvidia ppa) and intel driver 1.4.0 from https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads with ppa added, so, it may autoupdate. apt-get update for all.

when i sudo prime-select intel a can not even login to the system (in first time something happens in text mode, but i can not figure out what exactly, and than i came back to login screen). if i switch back to sudo prime-select nvidia all works good, but laptop is too hot, in case of external graphics.

what i missed? how i can use internal graphics? in the bottom i'll add some lists of relayed commands.

Thank you!

UPD1: I've tried solution from NVIDIA-PRIME: Cant switch to intel but it odes not helped.

A saw in some post that may be used intel driver i915_bpo. can be problem there? Thank you!

UPD2: if i remove nvidia driver, than i'll get freezed system on login screen (in graphics). in console it will be ok. so, defensively the problem is in intel driver. something wrong with this intel530 graphics, isnt it?

UPD3: i tried kernel 4.10 + nvidia 381 (with, and with out external intel driver) with same result: system freeze on xServer loading.
