Title:
  switchable graphics HP Envy 14 Ubuntu 12.04

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have found the following issues when following the instructions at 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics:
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  To have permanent write permissions to the switch file, add the
  following line, replacing USERNAME with your username, to
  /etc/init.d/rc.local:

  chown USERNAME /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I do not add the above command to /etc/init.d/rc.local, i simply just chown 
the above file as adding the line into the rc.local file does nothing at all 
and prevents me from using the script by adding a laucher and resulting to me 
running sudo su in the terminal first.

  In addition to the above I have also found that within the gxmessage
  script that there is no need for the gnome-session-quit command and
  all that is required is the following at the top of the script:

  if [ $EUID != 0 ]; then
      gksudo "$0" "$@"
      exit $?
  fi

  
  regards

  sean
