Title:
  Nameless error when switching to NVidia graphics card from Nvidia
  settings using PRIME profiles on Lenovo IdeaPad y580

Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hello,

  Y580 is an optimus laptop.

  I have installed nvidia prime and are using binary driver 331.38.

  I open NVidia settings and choose to switch from Intel card to NVidia
  one. When I do so (and enter my password), I get an empty error
  message box and the display gets back to Intel card.

  The console prints just this:

  "astral@Lenovo-IdeaPad-Y580:~$ nvidia-settings 
  ** Message: PRIME: Requires offloading
  ** Message: PRIME: is it supported? yes

  ERROR:
