12.04 - Nvidia GTX 765M with Optimus Unclamed




I have tried alot of different ways to get my pc working with graphics card but hasnt got me anywhere.
I started off with installing ubuntu 12.04 for the first time which left me stuck at black login screen. (solved now).



I have tried bubmlebee method and installing driver from Nvidia directly but both didnt work. (I’ve got removed Nvidia* now since it didnt work)
with bumblebee I could not run optirun or prium



lspci -nn | grep -i vga

PS: I used http://followthegeeks.com/a-noobs-guide-to-installing-nvidia-optimus-driver-in-ubuntu/ to solve black screen problem.



You can try downloading driver from xorg edgers ppa(https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa).



Add the ppa




sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa



upgrade your system



sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade



Reinstall bumblebee.



If that doesn't solve your problem,




what is the error when you run optirun? include in your question.



A note : did you created this question yesterday? https://askubuntu.com/q/350922/35775 Don't create duplicate each day with different id that doesn't help here to get good answers.
