I'm pulling my hair trying to get this out.



Since I know there is an issue with bumblebee and my laptop I've installed one of the latest stable kernels, so uname -r gives me 3.12.1-031201-generic



Now lspci -nn | grep '[030[02]]:' shows 



00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09)

01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] [10de:1140] (rev a1)


But still unable to run optirun, with throws (optirun -vv firefox):



[ 1029.729132] [DEBUG]Reading file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

[ 1029.729505] [INFO]Configured driver: nvidia

[ 1029.729560] [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the socket path /var/run/bumblebee.socket was incorrect.

[ 1029.729567] [DEBUG]Socket closed.

[ 1029.729579] [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running?


The nvidia drivers I'm trying to use are nvidia-319-updates, just in case olders won't recognize my GPU



I don't know wich other info could be important, here are is more info.



sudo lshw -C video

Bumblebee.conf:

If I do a modprobe nvidia i get:



vivo@vivoPC:~$ modprobe nvidia

FATAL: Module nvidia not found.

vivo@vivoPC:~$ modprobe nvidia-319-updates

FATAL: Module nvidia_319_updates not found.


Please, tell if you need any more info

Ok, all those users with a lenovo or any new laptop with problems detecting your two devices:



All those instructions are on a fresh install. (yes, I reinstalled it...again)



- Update your kernel to a 3.9 or highter



Instructions (thanks to Mitch):



To install Linux Kernel 3.9.4, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:



sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove

cd /tmp

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_i386.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-image-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

sudo update-grub2


For 64bit, just change:



wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-image-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_amd64.deb


Note: You may have to restart your computer after the first command.



- Install bumblebee rigurously as it says bumblebee's main page



Bumblebee Project



Important the part where you have to edit the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia (or /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nouveau if using the noveau driver) and specify the correct BusID by following the instructions therein.



This means, uncomment the # BusID "PCI:01:00:0" line (remove the '#') if your 3D card is in that bus (find it out with lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D').



- Install primus (thanks to webupd8 dot org)



sudo apt-get install primus


64bit: you also need to install "primus-libs-ia32:i386" (note that if you're using the Primus PPA, the package you need to install is "primus-lib:i386"):



sudo apt-get install primus-libs-ia32:i386


Then, change the "Bridge" option in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf to "primus". You can also directly call Primus from optirun via command line, like this:



optirun -b primus APP



- Test it



optirun glxspheres

optirun -b primus glxspheres


Hope this may help any lost soul
