hello my laptop dell n5110: i5-2410, Nvidia gt525m ironhide installed on a clean system ubuntu 11.10 after a restart, when the team optirun

$ optirun glxgears-info file: Cannot open o '(No such file or directory). file: Cannot openo '(No such file or directory).

i am make: $sudo ironhide-settings

then change "Always enable the nVidia card before disabling" option to "No" reboot

Now have new problem: when write optirun - work intel card, nvidia dont work.

Then you should check if nvidia_current.ko exists in /lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/updates/dkms

If it isn't there, make sure that you have got every thing for ubuntu to properly compile nvidia_current.ko i.e, sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic

I only had this error: 'FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current (/lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_current.ko): No such device' when I was running the pae kernel. I switched to the 64 bit kernel and everything is running fine now. My machine's specifications Dell 15R N5110 with Nvidia 525M Ubuntu 11.10 x64 with kernel 3.0.0-14-generic

how do you put ironhide? I think to reinstall the system and started again.
