I'm trying for few days to get my GPU working properly on Alienware M14x with GPU NVidia 555M, but I have no luck at all.
After fresh ubuntu install I did follow the guide here NVIDIA Optimus and Ubuntu 12.10 and istalled Bumblebee without problems. Tested glxspheres/optirun glxspheres
both working fine. Now I was continuing to install CUDA as is said here How can I get nVidia CUDA or OpenCL working on a laptop with nVidia discrete card/Intel Integrated Graphics? but I'm getting:
Driver: Not Selected
Toolkit: Installation Failed. Using unsupported Compiler.
Samples: Installation Failed. Missing required libraries.
I did not select the driver as I though Bumblebee installed driver already. How should I proceed?
And also at what point is the NVidia driver being installed and how can I try its working? Bumblebee seems to be installing the driver, CUDA wants to do the same, its all a bit confusing really.
Sorry if its lame question, but I would really want to at least get graphic card and second screen working..
Thank you for any help.
