I installed Ubuntu 11.10 (Same issue in 11.04 btw) and then I installed Ironhide. I went through the configuration, chose the one with the highest confirmation for my system and tested it:

> Error: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules
> P50 Disabling nVidia Card Succeded

(the spelling error is theirs)

And it changes nothing. I tried other configurations and got worse results. This has really become a major headache. Any solutions?

  • Nothing has worked so far. I got rid of the error saying module not found, but the success message is not true. – Musaab Sep 26 '11 at 12:15
  • You may want to give the newer [Bumblebee](http://askubuntu.com/q/36930/6969#36936) a go which is more stable. – Lekensteyn Sep 27 '11 at 19:35

try running .. and then reboot

rm /etc/pm/power.d/ironhide-disablecard-on-powerup

After reboot run optirun glxgears. See if it works,

Also I suggest using xorg edgers ppa to get latest module for nvidia

Apparently the solution to this is the following and with the latest updates to bumblebee, it works:

Install Bumblebee

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia

sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee $USER

Reboot or re-login

I had the same prob, installed PPA Xorg Edgers, ran apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, reboot and magically it worked.
