Hi Alberto,

with latest updates i was able to run propriery driver with nvidia-
prime, but only 346 version. With 340 there are problems like black
screen or as users report, we can reach sddm, enter login data but after
loading screen we are kicked back to sddm again. One user also reported
font issues, that might be somehow related to dpi settings.

Title:
  nvidia-prime needs sddm support

Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Kubuntu 15.04 will use sddm as a default  login manager. If we try to
  install nvidia drivers with nvidia-prime, the second will want to
  install lightdm as it depends of it. Whats more lightdm will want to
  install a lot of other packages.

  What we need: nvidia-prime to support sddm

  1. #lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:        15.04

  2. #apt-cache policy nvidia-prime
  nvidia-prime:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 0.7
    Version table:
       0.7 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages

  3. What you expected to happen ?

  nvidia-prime should work with sddm and do not require lightdm and all
  its dependencies (unity packges)

  4. What happened instead ?

  nvidia-prime wants to install lightdm as a dependency and a lot of
  other packages:

  #sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime
