Edit: Solution Found - Tweak edition We worked out a solution. In case
tl;dr, please check this link: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/761#issuecomment-219561042Hi,
This is a few years old Optimus enabled graphics card. I was able to use it using bumblebee a few years ago as well, but in later versions of Ubuntu I have never been able to. I have tried setting it up using information from askubuntu, from ubuntu, from the various issues here, from different blogs. Nothing worked. Every single time I tried setting the latest nvidia driver (last attempt - last night 361) and rebooted, the login screen started flickering, pressing
Alt + Ctrl + F1to access terminal didn't work, and I had to get in Ubuntu advanced recovery mode to purge everything and back to square one. Before that, I tried editingbumblebee.confandxorg.conf.nvidia. I tried making the bumblebee daemon work, but it kept failing at nvidia_uvm, or nvidia, or something else. I am really sorry if all these sound a bit incoherent.Therefore, please guide me what I need to do. Here is my config:
I am using Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS - with GDM3 Display Manager.
Laptop Details: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201209-11722/
Please, let me know if you need any other information. I will provide any information required to solve this.
Thank you in advance.
