Dear All,

I am trying to do CUDA programming on my Y470 computer using Linux. I have previously tried using Fedora 16 and successfully installed the bumblebee old version following the procedure below (Kindly provided by Viger)

Viger / December 7, 2011
1) Download old version bumblebee from https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/commits/master
2)install VirtualGl 2.2.90 rpm from:
http://www.virtualgl.org/Downloads/VirtualGL
3) blacklist nouveau in /etc/blacklist.conf
4) move old initramfs
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
5) recreate initramfs without nouveau
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
6) restart pc
7) install bumblebee

However, I couldn't install the correct gcc version so I try my luck with Ubuntu11.10.

In Ubuntu, it is the opposite story where I can install the correct gcc with no problem but the bumble bee nor ironhide works.

I always get the following error:

I have followed the following guide too:

http://www.ivegotavirus.com/blog/2011/11/06/how-to-get-optimus-working-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric/

but with no luck.

Will anyone have any idea about the problem?

below is the information about my graphic card I guess?
