[José Alarcón <jose.alarcon.roldan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I experienced the same issue as Marcin described after updating from
14.10 on my Thinkpad T420.

In order to solve it I had to manually remove all nvidia-* packages and
install nvidia-346. Not a big deal for anyone somehow comfortable with a
shell but probably a show stopper for some other users.

Is there any mechanism to force using nvidia-346 when performing a
distribution upgrade?

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
