I have problems with bumblebee installation on Ubuntu 12.04, when I use this code to install it, I got this message in terminal:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package bumblebee is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'bumblebee' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package bumblebee-nvidia

Last 2 lines are problematic.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Firstly, I would suggest checking your Software Sources. Delete anything related to Bumblebee and follow these steps:

Installing Bumblebee under Ubuntu 12.04

Open up a terminal and enter these commands:

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