Ubuntu

Laptop heating while suspended

Asked by Bernardo

I have a Clevo P650SE-A(Sager NP8651) with NVidia GeForce GTX970m and Intel HD5600, the laptop does have a LED that shows if the discrete GPU is being used or not.
I got nvidia-prime successfully working on both Ubuntu 14 and 15, but even if I turn off the nvidia it does turn on while the user is not logged it. So, while turning on, off or going to sleep it turns on the dGPU LED.
Even worse, it leaves the GeForce on while sleeping. Which leads to overheat inside my bag with the fans off and a waste of 15-20% per hour while sleeping. It is actually heating and using more battery while off than it does on.

Hibernating is not an option because it cannot resume after hibernation(black screen with cursor) and I don't really want it to hibernate since I'm used to suspend it many times per day.

This happens whith Ubuntu 14 and 15. I'm using the 3.19 kernel because the 4.2 does not seems to support my video card. After updating my Ubuntu to 15.04 my internet connection stops working randomly. It does not matter if it's connected through wifi or cable. It only stops working without saying it is not connected on the status bar. The applications cannot connect.

Alogsinde with that, on Ubuntu 14 the mouse cursor disappears when I point it over the top bar, gets completely invisible. It does not happens for ubuntu 15.
The sleep problem does not happens on Windows. Is there a way to set Intel as default while not logged in or to turn it off for sleep?
