Proof.
Let p_1, \ldots , p_ n \in X be the points where X \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) isn't smooth. Choose an affine open U_2 \subset X containing p_1, \ldots , p_ n and the generic point of every irreducible component of X. This is possible by Varieties, Lemma 33.43.3 and Properties, Lemma 28.29.5. Then X \setminus U_2 is finite and we can choose an affine open U_1 \subset X \setminus \{ p_1, \ldots , p_ n\} such that X = U_1 \cup U_2. Set U_{12} = U_1 \cap U_2. Then U_1 and U_{12} are smooth affine schemes over k. We conclude that
\mathcal{D}\! \mathit{ef}_ X \longrightarrow \mathcal{D}\! \mathit{ef}_{U_2}
is smooth by Lemma 93.16.2. Applying Lemmas 93.9.7 and 93.16.1 we win.
