Same here.  Just upgraded from 14.04 to 15.04, and now fan is not
turning off.    Open NVidia xserver setings, GPU is set to Intel, but
fan still running. That wasnt happening back with 14.04 and
bumbleebee/optimus prime, sorry, can't remember which set-up i've used.

Would love to see a workaround solution, it's a shame this problem still
persists after several years - can't really use ubuntu like that.

Title:
  nvidia-prime 0.7 does not work as expected  in 15.04

Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Last days nvidia-prime 0.7 has been released but this version, like
  previous one, does not work in Vivid.

  I'm not sure exactly how long this problem exists (i think something
  like 2-3 or more weeks), but it is impossible to switch to nvidia
  profile. Before nvidia-settings package offered controls to switch
  profile Nvidia/Intel but now its gone.

  If we try:
  #prime-select nvidia

  we have:
  Info: the current alternatives in use are: ['mesa', 'mesa']
  Info: selecting nvidia-346 for the nvidia profile
  update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/nvidia-346/ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf (x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in manual mode
  update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/nvidia-346/alt_ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf (i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in manual mode

  so it seems like switching to nvidia profile, but after relogin or
  reboot again mesa is marked as used.

  If we try:
  #prime-switch nvidia

  we have:
  /etc/modprobe.d is not a file
  /etc/modprobe.d is not a file
  /etc/modprobe.d is not a file
  /etc/modprobe.d is not a file
  update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x86_64-linux-gnu_gfxcore_conf
  update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf (x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in manual mode
  update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf (i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in manual mode
  update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x86_64-linux-gnu_gfxcore_conf

  I have tried various driver versions but none of them work now.

  I'm running:
  Kubuntu 15.04 (current/daily)
  Kernel: 3.18.0-9

  If you need any extra info, please comment.
