I'm really sorry that I pull this topic again but "I still haven't found what I'm looking for...".
I've tried tons of solutions with several behaviors, and I can't get it work properly.
First of all should I still use bumblebee at vivid or there is a working alternative as primus? I've tried primus and my kubuntu suddenly stopped working. I have average experience in Linux OS but I'm going to really love it. - Only this one thing making me so depressed.
I'm afraid that I have to reinstall kubuntu cause my installation steps for nvidia drivers went wrong way - but I'm ready to do this.
Please let me know what can I do and what should I do.
P.S. Lenovo Y580 Nvidia GTX 660M (Windows7 + Kubuntu)
