I've never run gpu-manager.
I use prime-select to choose between nvidia and intel.

I could not install wily on this laptop from a usb stick as the install
process locked up trying to load the graphics drivers. I had to start
with vivid as the older kernel did work. Upgrading to wily, the only way
I could get things to work is to use a recent kernel with the binary
nvidia drivers. I need a recent kernel to support the Intel 8260
wireless chipset. I'd prefer just to use the Intel graphics to get
better battery life. But so far attempts to do that and have a working
machine have failed.

If I try and boot after uninstalling the nvidia drivers, the I can't get
a graphical login to work (see comment #33).

Is there anything I can do to resolve the above error with switching to
Intel using prime-select? Or ideally, I'd not install the nvidia drivers
at all. But no luck so far doing that.
