graphics - Why does Ubuntu 14.04 not recognize NVIDIA GeForce 310M hardware?

I've got a typical problem with my NVidia GPU. I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 over windows 7 and completely whiped everything (on purpose), so I have a clean Ubuntu computer. Some specs:




  • ASUS KJ52c

  • RAM: 4 Gb

  • GPU: Hybrid NVidia 310M and Intel integrated Graphics

  • Processor: some Intel i5




On Ubuntu 13 I had the NVidia card up and running with bumblebee, and on Windows 7 it worked as a charm. Now, it's not recognized as hardware any more.



lspci | grep VGA shows:




00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)





lspci -v shows no hint of NVidia anywhere As such, I can't install any drivers for it, nor get bumblebee / nvidia prime running.



Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
