I realize this issue is very prevalent - but before you mark this as a duplicate - I have tried everything suggested online, and nothing works.
The problem:
With the Nvidia Quadro K1000M and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 on my Lenovo W530, I have tried sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
, I have tried looking under "Additional Drivers" (when opened, this states, "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system), I have tried manually installing the .run
file from the Nvidia website (ended up with me getting into some horrible 800x600 resolution and having to edit the xorg.conf
file to get out of it). Currently, I have nvidia-settings, -common, -current
installed (which I got from Synaptic). The screen has luckily returned to full-screen resolution.
I have been using Linux for 3 days only, so when I was doing all the above, I also had no clue what was actually going on.
If it makes any difference, I have bumblebee
installed for Optimus support.
Running Additional Drivers:

Like I said, I am a very new user and I would really like to be able to use Ubuntu, however this problem is making me struggle.
