nvidia optimus - Tried installing bumblebee and now unity is corrupted?




I've installed bumblebee at my laptop due to the 520M GPU following the steps mentioned here.



What I see after logging out and in is this.



But I've noticed now that I do have some effects I didn't have, in example the windows open with a bounce effect (if we can call it that way) and the alt+tab feature shows now the screenshots of the windows.



What can I do?



Here's the link to pastebin with contents of xorg.0.log.




I see that optirun does not work for you. The Troubleshooting article mentions a solution for an error in your /var/log/Xorg.8.log: edit /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia and change DFP to CRT-0.



I've downloaded the acpidump for your laptop model and it looks like that the calls in /etc/bumblebee/cardo{n,ff} are correct. To get PM really working, you also need the acpi_call kernel module. You can install it by installing acpi-call-tools from the bumblebee/stable PPA (which you've already enabled):



sudo apt-get install acpi-call-tools


In /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf, change STOP_SERVICE_ON_EXIT=Y to STOP_SERVICE_ON_EXIT=N to allow the card to be disabled after the last optirun instance has been quit. You need to restart the daemon after that change:




sudo /etc/init.d/bumblebee restart
