I'm just going to back things up a bit. I deleted my previous install and I now have a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 using wubi. It's all up to date and has the Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version 319-updates) installed. However, the System Details are still listing it as "unknown". Is this normal or have I hit a snag?
Don't use Wubi because it installs a virtual instance of Ubuntu. If you want to use Ubuntu for real, either dual boot or replace that abomination called Windows from the ground up.
Anyhow, thanks for the info. My laptop fortunately came with a HDD with two partitions, so I may just try dual-booting when I get a chance. Thanks again.
You mean two hard drives, right? If you plan on keeping Windows, it's a matter of knowing which hard drive to reformat for use in Linux. Good luck.
Ah, that's a bit tricky. Look up dual-booting if you want to follow that path; otherwise replace Windows with Linux and enter the new world.
what windows you use ? there some special things combined to windows 8 and uefi. should only be done if you know what and how to do !!! dualbooting with other windows is ways easier at the moment.
Edit: I had some free time today and gave Bumblebee with wubi one more try. Nvidia driver installed fine and was recognized just fine. Installed Bumblebee a bit differently this time and it did the same thing happened (which I can now detail). Essentially on reboot it falls back onto the default generic driver and informs me it could not detect the card.
Oddly enough, the generic driver has better workspace performance than the official Nvidia one did. I don't get the choppiness and there is hardly any screen tearing like what I was experiencing before. Odd, but definitely a win.
Bumblebee doesn't make your Nvidia card the dominant one in a system; your intel card is required for power conservation while the former is required for performance; hence Nvidia OPTIMUS. You need to understand that you have to manually order Bumblebee to use your nvidia card, just like you would on Windows. Didn't you know that?
Anyhow, I believe you misread my post. I must clarify that I only got the Nvidia driver working with my setup (that being Ubuntu installed with wubi). This particular driver was grabbed from Additional Drivers in System Settings. Concerning Bumblebee, I have still not been able to get a successful install of it on my machine after mutliple attempts at multiple methods. I am lead to think that it will not work with my kind of installation.
So as it stood (before I fell back to the default driver), the system was running with the dedicated Nvidia GPU with the Nvidia drivers, only. I read an article from several months back that Nvidia's beta drivers for 319 are rolling out initial optimus support, but still lacks GPU switching functionality. I'm trying to find some more detailed and recent information on this update so I can perhaps try looking into it.
As for the Bumblebee installtion, two of the methods I tried were found here on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee#Installation
I tried the Basic followed by the Advanced setup. Both ended up with me having to roll back the driver to default due to it not being able to find the hardware.
