If unity 3d support is coming as "No", just boot with usb live disk and choose to upgrade/reinstall.
#Dell latitude e6420 nvidia install
Sudo apt-get install virtualgl-libs:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libc6:i386 Note: If you intend to run 32-bit programs like Wine and using Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric or later, install 32-bit libraries with: Like to run glxspheres with nvidia card type To run a program with nvidia card, use optirun command prefixed in terminal. If you just want to disable nvidia card, no need to learn followings Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable Instruction for installing Bumblebee to turn off discrete GPU and enable only when required Never install nvidia graphics card manually. Intel integrated is sufficient to run unity 3d. Aim of most projects in dual graphics card is to turn off nvidia gpu and use it when required using a special command. There is no way you can turnoff intel and work with nvidia only because the images are transported through intel card. If anyone has any comments or suggestions as to how this method should be changed, please tell me!
I will not install nvidia-common to begin with, but follow this tutorial above. I suspect that perhaps whatever bugs were present early on have been ironed out.
#Dell latitude e6420 nvidia update
Note, when prompted by update manager to install nvidia-common (September 2012), I did - and it didn't break anything. Sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia To install Bumblebee using the proprietary nvidia driver: Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable then sudo apt-get update Now install bumblebee as directed by above. I did and it didn't kill anything (I think). Sudo apt-get -reinstall install xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:* libglx-mesa-dri:* Now, just to be sure, I remove the configuration file generated by nvidia if any: rm /etc/X11/nf Now, I installed mesa-utils, and restarted, and noticed that now unity-3d IS working. I now checked installed packages, and noted that nvidia-current and nvidia settings were installed. I went through the list and ensured that there was no nvidia updates selected.
#Dell latitude e6420 nvidia upgrade
I used this rather than apt-get upgrade so I could choose which updates to install. I added the X-SWAT ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates, and sudo apt-get update then I used the software updater tool. Note that when it booted for the first time it still would not run unity-3d, only 2d. During install, I chose not to install updates during installation. I'll note down here what I did, in case someone (me included) needs to repeat this on an Optimus setup.įirstly, unfortunately, I needed to reinstall ubuntu.
#Dell latitude e6420 nvidia drivers
I've heard about bumblebee - but frankly, I would prefer to have the proprietary Nvidia drivers working properly. I've tried a bit of tinkering around, but I'm not sure the best way to proceed, or perhaps more importantly, I'm not sure of what the best final solution might be. So, obviously, I want to run unit圓d, and be using the more powerful Nvidia graphics card. I tried to troubleshoot this, and removed nvidia, leaving (I guess) just Nouveau drivers - In that case, unit圓d did work, but I was stuck with the open source Nouveau drivers powering the integrated graphics. Note also that I can't run nvidia-settings ("You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver."), and there is no additional drivers found ("No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"). This is with nvidia-current installed (302.07). integrated gfx and an Nvidia Quadro NVS 4200M.įirst problem - I ran setup, etc, and discovered that I can only run unity2d - If I try and login with unit圓d, it just defaults to 2d. This laptop has an Optimus (?) setup - i.e. I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) on a brand new Dell Latitude e6420, and I'm having a few problems.
