ShkilAs per https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/N53Jg/HelpDesk_Download/ an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (209). If
you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Cannot login with Nvidia Optimus hardware installed(Ubuntu 15.04)

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have Nvidia Optimus GT415M hardware on my laptop.

  I've upgraded my Ubuntu 14.10 where everything was working fine with
  Nvidia Optimus  to Ubuntu 15.04 and now I cannot login. After I type
  the password login screen comes back again.

  I did complete reinstall of NVidia packages and installed new
  nvidia-346 package from Ubuntu repo.

  Looking at Xorg.0.log I see this message:
  [   120.353] (EE) intel(G1): [drm] failed to set drm interface version: Permission denied [13].
  [   120.353] (II) intel(G1): [drm] Contents of '/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/clients':
  [   120.353] (II) intel(G1): [drm] a dev	pid    uid	magic
  [   120.354] (II) intel(G1): [drm] 
  [   120.354] (II) intel(G1): [drm] y   0  2996     0          0
  [   120.354] (II) intel(G1): [drm] y   0  2996     0          0
  [   120.354] (EE) intel(G1): Failed to claim DRM device.

  And I have found thread regarding this problem on
  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/816599/prime-switching-to-
  nvidia-creates-black-screen/. So looks like hardware similar to mine
  need a new version of xserver-xorg-video-intel.

  Could you please help with this.
