I've already tried to follow literally everything on ask ubuntu and similar websites but still I cannot manage my graphic card:

  • If I look under system settings "Graphics", Ubuntu seems unable to recognize any kind of graphic device (not even intel) since it says: "Driver Unknown"
  • Under the tab "proprietary drivers" of the software center it is listed only the Broadcom card, but not nvidia.
  • Still, if I run

    lspci| grep VGA
    

    the system returns:

    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated
    Graphics Controller (rev 02)
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M]
    (rev a1)
    

    so the system knows that the graphic cards are there.

  • I've already tried (after the installation of the kernel source and headers using -$(uname -r) to avoid problems) to install the bumblebee repositories and then the nvidia drivers, but still if I run:

    optirun glxspheres    
    

    the system returns:

    [ 3740.367448] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU
    driver
    [ 3740.367550] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
    

I'm frankly bewildered and frustrated: what can I do or check now?
