I am running Ubuntu 12.04 in a Virtual Box as guest OS. Today I have tried to enable all functions of my graphic card under Ubuntu. But all my efforts were off the mark... because my experience with Linux is relatively small...

I have tried the procedure which is described as in http://sn0v.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/installing-cuda-on-ubuntu-12-04/. Running the cuda-filepack always lead to an error like "installing driver canceled".

Then I have tried to install the Bumblebee project. But I always get the error that the bumblebee daemon is not started. After some internet research I found a test-command:

lspci -nn | grep '\[030[02]\]'

which results in:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: InnoTek ... [80ee:beef]

I've been trying to activate the card you for hours without success.

Could you please give me some hints how to activate CUDA?

Kind regards

What you are trying to do may not be possible with a standard version of VirtualBox. The issue would be that VirtualBox does not virtualize the GPU. There's hope though. Search the web for VirtualBox PCI passthrough.

If you're running Ubuntu virtually as a guest, Ubuntu will see a virtual graphics card, specific to VirtualBox. You should not need to install nVidia graphics drivers.

Why are you trying to install a graphics driver in a VirtualBox guest?
