I've bought my ASUS U46 last february. I would like to make it work better with Ubuntu 12.04. Note taht I was forced to install Ubuntu 12.04 (before its publication) by ethernet.

After a successfull install, several problem remain unfixed such as :

• USB 3 just does not work correctly. Can be fixed, but I didn't succeed yet.
• Nvidia Optimus (means that you can use Intel Chipset or the Nvidia GeForce) is possible to use thanks to BumbleBee project. It seems to work, though. But Nvidia tools still say they don't see any Nvidia driver installed.
• Battery duration can be optimised by using Laptop-tools.
• Any standby state lead to a X server crash. A good CTRL+ALT+F1 login and "shutdown -r" avoids a brutal power off.

And since few weeks, I have some bug reports right after boot about "unattended-upgrade", and dpkg troubles after any apt-get install or update (Linux kernel doesn't compile anymore), ...

Are there any ways to fix those troubles ? I would need a bit of assistance, in fact.

Thank you for you help,

Sincerly yours, Thibault
