to add stable bumblebee ppa , install bumblebee open terminal window , run following commands:

code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia

once installed, log out , log in, try out running optirun glxspheres. may need edit bumblebee configuration file if you're not using nvidia-current (/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf).

then, if want application or game use nvidia graphics card, launch optirun
