How to install nvidia optimus driver on ubuntu 12.10?
- by Adam
I have followed http://ubuntuportal.com/2012/01/bumblebee-3-0-tumblewed-nvidia-optimus-gpu-switching-for-linux-has-been-released-how-to-install-bumblebee-3-0-on-ubuntu.html this guide to install nvidia driver on my Dell Inspiron N5110 notebook (Intel HD Graphics 3000 + NVIDIA GeForce GT525M), but i always get some error while i want to start any program with the optirun command.
Terminal says:
adam@Adam-LT:~$ optirun firefox
[ 1482.559417] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver
[ 1482.559517] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
My laptop cooler always cools the laptop, which means that nvidia card is consuming power in the background. (Terminal sometimes says something daemon-server is not running.)
Can you give me some solution for this?
