Lenovo ThinkPad w530 on Ubuntu 13.04 with nvidia and Intel card

When you're used to the fact that installing Ubuntu on a ThinkPad is normally a breeze, this is kind of uncool, nevertheless, here's what made it work for me:

Go into the BIOS and set these two Display options to the values shown:

• Go to Display option:

• Configure the Graphics Device to be NVIDIA Optimus:

• Set the OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus to Enabled:

Then install bumblebee:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install bumblebee virtualgl linux-headers-generic

Then reboot!

After that, you get a "working" version of your ubuntu back. The only problem is, your window decorators are gone... you can even run CTRL+ALT+T to get a terminal, but the decoration doesn't come back. Here is what to do: Start a terminal and execute this command:

gsettings reset org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ active-plugins

After that you should get your Desktop back. Last thing to make sure you can from then on run optirun:

lspci | grep VGA 

Should spit out two cards, this is my output:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107GLM [Quadro K2000M] (rev ff)

Hope this helps some poor soul out there :)

Thanks for all the fish,
