  • Why do you want to disable nouveau? You probably need to install proprietary drivers instead. Please edit your question and add output of lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' terminal command.

Mobile Nvidia GPU's cause headache because they are used with VGA controller which is embedded in Intel CPUs, as named Optimus Technology. I am able to activate Nvidia driver with editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf file after installation driver with apt-get, just installing nvidia driver by apt-get may not be enough.

You need to install Nvidia drivers by running:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-352
