Public bug reported: Affects multiple versions of Ubuntu:
"So to get Bumblebee to work properly with nvidia-370 in Ubuntu 16.04 / Linux Mint 18.x, you'll need to install Bumblebee from THIS PPA." http://www.webupd8.org/2016/08/how-to-install-and-configure- bumblebee.html The version of bumblebee provided from official repo of Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 17.04 is too old for newer nvidia proprietary drivers. The newest testing version (bumblebee 3.2.1-98) must be provided, if nvidia-370 or newer is used. nvidia-375 is officially available in Ubuntu 16.04. The older bumblebee version (e.g. 3.2.1-10 in Ubuntu 16.04) is not able to properly switch on and off the nvidia-card using the newer driver. ** Affects: bumblebee (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 370 375 378 nvidia optimus optirun -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1694427 Title: bumblebee testing-version required for newer nvidia-drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bumblebee/+bug/1694427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
