How to install a video board (MY GPU nVidia GT 630M)

[this process was accomplished on Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS]


Just run on terminal:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

Note:
Some time later the installation, an icon on top bar appeared, asking to install additional driver "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version 319-updates)" DON'T INSTALL THIS!

FOR UBUNTU 14.04 LTS
Install the recommended driver from "additional driver" native support.
Don't forget to set this configurations, for power savings and lower the temperature: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower


FOR UBUNTU 12.04 LTS
The process above didn't work pretty well. The unity was converted to a 2d old one.

Then, install bumblebee:

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
2. Enable the Universe and Multiverse repositories (for bumblebee and nvidia packages respectively).
3. sudo apt-get update
4. Install Bumblebee using the default proprietary nvidia driver for 12.04 - 13.04 :
   sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia virtualgl linux-headers-generic
   • And for 13.10 :
   sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-generic
5. Reboot
