Ok. Usually you're supposed to run this program in a terminal on a desktop, then logout. And once the process catches the logout the process will finish. Unfortunately now you're in a state where this process never terminates, since you even cannot start a desktop any longer due to the Xserver crash. I suggest to run prime-select unset Hopefully the program then give you some hint how to terminate this process. Or in the worst case try to find it via 'ps' and kill it manually or reboot the machine. I mean let's find a way to get your system working again in a clean state, e.g. by removing package suse-prime and install it again and then run prime-select intel Then, when in a desktop with intel only try again prime-select nvidia and logout. Hopefully things then are working. It's hard to debug this from remote.
