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.
