This question already has an answer here:
Getting hybrid graphics to work nvidia-prime GT650M
1 answer
I saw a question over here, says that Nvidia Graphics jumps to 90º and fan goes at maximum speed.
So, I want to use the Intel graphics integrated, but in Nvidia Settings (I use Ubuntu 18.04, Nvidia driver 390) doesn't appear the option to use Intel graphics.
In Ubuntu 16.04 I don't know if it's the driver or what, but doesn't work this option (but appears in Nvidia Settings) because then Ubuntu doesn't allow go to your session. You try to enter but it returns to the gdm. Maybe in this version doesn't have this fail.

Install Ubuntu 18.04. (update but don’t upgrade it.)
Disable nouveau
printf '%sn' 'blacklist nouveau' 'options nouveau modeset=0' 'alias nouveau off' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
sudo update-initramfs -uand reboot.
Download driver from Nvidia. (In my case it was version 390.48 which worked.)
Stop X Server:
telinit 3Execute your
.runinstall with root privileges.Reboot and test driver installation by typing
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
glxinfo | grep versionIf you see Nvidia there along with version then…
Install
nvidia-prime:sudo apt-get install nvidia-primeand reboot.
Finally you can see the switch in
nvidia-settings. (But it is better to switch by command.)prime-select "nvidia" or "intel"

With this you're pretty sure that the Nvidia graphics doesn't work while Intel does? I see this problem in my laptop and over there ( github.com/stockmind/dell-xps-9560-ubuntu-respin/issues/8 )

Besides, I had to put in the GRUB settings noveau.runpm=-1 to use the Intel graphics.
