I finally got Optimus and Bumblebee working with the multiple GPU's and whatnot going on in this dell Laptop I am running. Preface: Optimus - http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html BumbleBee - http://bumblebee-project.org/ I used the following resources to get things going. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee#Installation https://lenovolinux.blogspot.si/2016/05/bumblebee-on-lenovo-t440p-nvidia-gt.html http://askubuntu.com/questions/758972/does-ubuntu-16-04-support-hybrid-graphics-cards-bumblebee https://rajat-osgyan.blogspot.com/2016/04/how-to-install-latest-nvidia-drivers-on.html specifically I added this repo (from phoronix) ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa then chose the nvidia-361 package for the nvidia drivers. and installed everything with a single apt install line bumblebee-nvidia nvidia-361 bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus primus-libs-ia32 nvidia-settings I reinstalled from scratch to change FS, enable LVM, and remove the ghetto dual boot I had, and when doing so i used the 16.04 server installation so I could install the part i needed and make the changes i needed to configs, and install KDE 5 from ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports ps Add your repo for the graphics drivers, then do an apt dist-upgrade, then do the apt install lines. you can then install kde vi their backports repo and an apt install kde-desktop. Overall everything works only issue i have is a sliding desktop that shows up in my current monitor config that i have not had a chance to hunt down and disable. -- A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
