How do I determine whether bumblebee is working as expected?
- by Christian Fazzini
I followed the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
Instead of installing the proprietary nvidia drivers, via:
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia linux-headers-generic
I did:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends bumblebee linux-headers-generic
How do I determine that power savings mode is active and that my dedicated GPU isn't running?
One thing that bugs me is that if I go to System Settings - Details - Graphics. Driver is shown as Unknown.
