unable to start game if run with optirun (discrete nvidia card)

While I was writing the bug report I found a workaround. I choose to report it anyway as it uses a rather obscure prime-select tool that I never knew about it even though I used optirun for years.

I had already played a few times on this setup using optirun to trigger the discrete card. Now it doesn't work anymore and I don't know what changed. Without optirun it runs fine on Intel but it's way slower.
If I try to run minecraft through optirun in either launchers (2.1.5965 or 1.6 jar version) I get the following error, before the game window shows up:

The workaround I found was to explicitly select the nvidia card through the "prime-select" tool. I just ran prime-select nvidia and the game was able to run again.

I'll say again that prime-select is an obscure tool I've never heard of. Also after rebooting it broke the graphical terminal which rendered the system at least seemingly broken until I ran prime-select unset
I would love If I'm able to help making the game work out of the box in opensuse even in laptops with two graphic cards

Please close this bug.
