installation
As Bumblebee is not available in a Ubuntu supported repository, Bumblebee 3.2 is supported by the Bumblebee Project community from Ubuntu version 12.04 up to 13.04.
Basic Setup
You need to open your terminal and enter the commands below.
If on 12.04.2, replace linux-headers-generic with linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal.
-
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
-
sudo apt-get update
- Install Bumblebee using the default proprietary nvidia driver:
sudo apt-get install bumblebee virtualgl linux-headers-generic
- Reboot
Advanced Setups
For advanced users, if you do not want to use the proprietary nvidia driver or 32-bit libraries (for example, if you are only interested in power savings), you can do your custom installation.
Minimal setup : sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends bumblebee
Depending on your needs, add to this line:
-
bumblebee-nvidia: proprietary nvidia driver support (if installed, become default over nouveau)
-
virtualgl: VirtualGL as backend
-
virtualgl-libs-ia32: 32bit support for VirtualGL on 64bit system, necessary to run 32bit app through optirun
-
primus: primus/primusrun as backend (virtualgl Stays default, you need to run optirun -b primus <app>)
-
primus-libs-ia32: 32bit support for primus/primurun on 64bit system, necessary to run 32bit app through optirun
Usage
To run your application with the discrete NVIDIA card run in the terminal:
-
$ optirun [options] <application> [application-parameters]
Example:
-
$ optirun firefox
For a list of options for optirun run:
-
$ optirun --help
Normally you do not use optirun for your window manager, installations or other non graphic heavy demanding programs. The optirun command is mainly used for graphic demanding programs or for games.
Power Management
A primary goal of this project is to not only enable use of the discrete GPU for rendering, but also to enable smart power management of the dGPU when it's not in use. We're using either bbswitch (a module) or vga_switcheroo (kernel module, experimental) to do this in Bumblebee.
Since Bumblebee 3.0, this feature is enabled by default, using bbswitch. This allow automatic power management, without any configuration needs.
If Power Management doesn't work on your laptop, please go to this Power Management (PM) page and help to improve Bumblebee.
IRC
Please join #bumblebee channel on Freenode if you wish to help testing and creating the installer.
Reporting bugs/problems
First of all: If you have any problem, please read this article: http://wiki.Bumblebee-Project.org/Troubleshooting
If your issue is not solved, you can join the #bumblebee IRC channel to ask for help (recommended). See also http://wiki.Bumblebee-Project.org/Reporting-Issues
If you're asked to create a bugreport, run the next command in a terminal: sudo bumblebee-bugreport
Uninstall
If you're unsatisfied with Bumblebee, you can remove it via:
-
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
-
sudo ppa-purge ppa:bumblebee/stable
If you want to keep some programs from the bumblebee repository, you can also suffice by removing Bumblebee only (including its dependencies):
-
sudo apt-get purge bumblebee
-
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
