sudo prime-select nvidia

报错：Error: nvidia mode can't be enabled

以下方法可以解决

I think I've found a workaround at least.

It's all about update-alternatives.
I've noticed that both

sudo update-alternatives --config i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf

and

sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf

returns list containing /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf or similar.

Somehow after every reboot /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf was set as choosen even if I've changed it before manually.

I tried changing the order on that list, but finally the solution was to remove it by

sudo update-alternatives --remove x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf

and

sudo update-alternatives --remove i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf

That should be enough.
If not, set both 'i386' and 'x86_64' to the same option by

sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf

and

sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf

Reboot afterwards.

You can always restore it to original state by

sudo update-alternatives --install /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf 500  

and

sudo update-alternatives --install /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf 500

Hope that it will also work for You.
