How to set up nVidia Optimus/Bumblebee in 14.04




The previous methods i have used to set up Bumblebee on 13.10 based distributions is not working under Ubuntu 14.04 . How can I set up Bumblebee and Bumblebee GUI in Ubuntu 14.04 ?



To install bumblebee in Ubuntu 14.04, run these commands in terminal



sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus nvidia-331


Now you have to install Bumblebee GUI to manage apps to be opened using nVidia. Here is the instructions:




Install Python App Indicator:



sudo apt-get install python-appindicator


Install Git:



sudo apt-get install git



Make a directory for git:



mkdir git && cd git


Check out the repository:



git clone https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bumblebee-ui.git
cd bumblebee-ui
sudo ./INSTALL



Go to Startup Applications and add bumblebee-indicator



Now reboot.
