I'm working on Ubuntu 16.04LTS and I would like to switch to NVidia Geforce 740m instead of Intel Ivybridge Mobile. I've tried multiple solutions found on askubuntu but nothing seems to work.
Updating drivers, installing prime, removing all NVidia drivers and installing them again + prime - been there done that
Still when I enter NVidia X Server Settings, PRIME profiles are unavailable. Switching through terminal using prime-select nvidia doesn't give any results as well.
Below lspci output:
~$ lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
Kernel driver in use: i915

Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. GK107M [GeForce GT 740M]
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_375_drm, nvidia_375
lshw gives me that:
~$ sudo lshw -c video

I guess configuration entry shouldn't be empty in NVidia info but don't know what to do with that.
This is how my Additional Drivers tab looks like on Software & Updates and finally the
NVidia X Server Settings window. As you can see the PRIME profiles are unavailable. Even though it's installed
~$ whereis nvidia-prime
nvidia-prime: /usr/share/nvidia-prime
Any ideas? I really stuck on this, would be greatful for any help.
