| + | ===== Install Bumblebee ===== | ||
| + | As stated on the [[https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee|Debian wiki]]: "For Wheezy users, Bumblebee packages are available from wheezy-backports". This means we first need to add the backports in our sources. To keep the system as clean as possible, you may want to add a file inside **/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ **rather than editing the **sources.list** file.\\ | ||
| + | Here we'll create the **other-sources.list** file, then update our package list: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | > nano /etc/apt/other-source.list | ||
| + | |||
| + | ADD: | ||
| + | deb http://ftp.belnet.be/debian wheezy-backports main | ||
| + | |||
| + | > apt-get update | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | We can now install the Nvidia driver from the backports:\\ | ||
| + | **<color slateblue>To use the free, "nouveau" driver:</color>** | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | > apt-get -t wheezy-backports install bumblebee primus | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | **<color slateblue>To use the proprietary, "nvidia" driver:</color>** | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | > apt-get -t wheezy-backports install bumblebee-nvidia primus | ||
| + | </code> | ||
