Unfortunately, no. I have never been able to get this to work.

You might want to go back a re-read my post. I did get it working by following those instructions (which is why I marked this thread as SOLVED). I guess the first time around I typed something...

I'm trying to get the proprietary nvidia driver working on my MBP running Ubuntu 14.04. I was previously successful in disabling the nvidia card and running only the Intel card, but it seemed unable...

I'm not exactly sure which part of the motherboard you are looking to control. From what I understand, the Macbook Air does *NOT* have dual video cards it in (what Nvidia refers to as their Optimus...

So perhaps the first time around the I had a typo. Rather than trying to disable the nvidia card, I went the exact opposite route and tried to disable the Intel card, and then install the...

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 on a MBP 9,1 (via rEFInd). It's my work laptop so I don't need it for gaming or anything of that nature. I'm trying to disable the nvidia card under Ubuntu for a few...

Ok so you just have a single card and it's still happening. It could be something with the Intel driver I suppose. I guess we should just open a bug report and see where it goes. It's always a...

I'll have to search some bug reports and see if anyone else has already reported this. I have unfortunately noticed that even if I simply move all open windows to my laptop screen and then...

I upgraded last week to 13.10 and have had problems with my external monitor configuration ever since. I am running this on a Macbook pro 9,1 with the Intel driver (no nvidia driver installed and I...

So I just ran through something similar to this. If you can access the files locally then it should follow about the same scenario that I used, but basically you just need to modify the access...

So it's still not automatically connecting, although editing my connection this time does actually seem to have a saved password value. Here are the contents of the three files:

Wow I wonder what version of the ATI drivers you are using. I have absolutely no problem running DOTA2 on Ubuntu, but then again I just upgraded my system and it sounds like it's much newer than...

I checked and it is indeed set to be available for all users. I only have my one user so that option really isn't necessary. So you're suggesting I should disable it? I'm not sure why it would...

I recently started a new job and connecting to the wifi network works fine -- after I have logged in as my user. It's not a huge deal, but when I first boot up the system gives me this huge message...

Oh wow. That doesn't look right. I'm running a Macbook Pro 9,1 (it's the "mid 2012" model) so I'm sure that is why our experiences might be different. Your model will just have 2 nvidia cards in...

That's strange. I didn't have any freezing issues. I was just missing actions like two finger back/forward in the browsers. It actually worked great and benchmarked slightly faster in geekbench...

Still no luck. :(

I'm trying to avoid a complete reinstall. I know it's not necessary!

I can't really get into recovery mode from grub. I installed in a rEFInd environment and installed with ubiquity -b so the...

I installed 13.04 on a Macbook Pro and it's mostly working. I tried to setup bumblebee so I followed this tutorial:

It's not too bad but it's not perfect either. My new job gave me a Macbook Pro and wanted me to get it setup however much I can before my first day. I start on Wednesday so I have pretty much two...

Nevermind...solved it! I started thinking about how it boots just fine with some other grub to chainload it, which led me to believe grub was fine and I needed to start looking around in BIOS. For...

I did that initially (from the gparted live CD). It didn't work so I rebooted and tried to select the option to boot a local OS -- which worked. While in my local OS I have tried to correct it...

After cloning the drive I just ran sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda (which I still argue wasn't...

Both drives should be installed/connected so it doesn't really matter where grub is installed. If I decide to change something in the future I can always fire up a live CD and reinstall/update grub....

Thanks -- I actually didn't want to do that. I have several partitions on the old drive but they aren't really necessary any longer. One was Fedora, another was Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit (since that was...
