I'm experiencing this bug after upgrading from kubuntu 14.10 to 15.04
using the update manager.

Using nvidia-346:

Booting with a previous kernel (3.16) works but I'm stuck in intel mode.

Booting with current kernel (3.19) leaves me with the black screen which can be fixed (until restart) by running the suggested:
sudo systemctl stop sddm

sudo systemctl start gpu-manager

sudo systemctl start sddm


Idk if its relevant but 

gpu-manager.conf :
start on (starting lightdm
          or starting gdm
          or starting kdm
          or starting xdm
          or starting lxdm)
task
exec gpu-manager --log /var/log/gpu-manager.log


Tried the obvious and added a line "or starting sddm" but didn't work :P

Title:
  gpu-manager systemd unit is not enabled

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This happened with today's 15.04 image. The gpu-manager unit started,
  the xorg.conf was written, and so was the log but, somehow, even
  though the log says that the system needs offloading, no /var/lib
  /ubuntu-drivers-common/requires_offloading was created. This caused
  the system to boot into a black screen.

  Starting the same unit after (the failure to) boot, resulted in the
  correct creation of  /var/lib/ubuntu-drivers-
  common/requires_offloading . There is probably something weird going
  on in the systemd unit, as gpu-manager has never behaved like this
  with Upstart.

  This breaks hybrid graphics.
