I have Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS 64 bit

I don't know the bumblebee version. The one installed automatically using sudo apt-get install bumblebee i think.

The video card is NVidia GeForce GT 425M

I tried to install bumblebee following the procedure presented by the italian ubuntu documentation:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:mj-casalogic/bumblebee
sudo ppa-purge ppa:mj-casalogic/ironhide
wget https://raw.github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/master/cleanup
chmod +x cleanup
sudo ./cleanup --force

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable

sudo apt-get install bumblebee

sudo apt-get update

sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee guido

reboot

tried glxspheres

tried optirun glxspheres
gave me the output presented in the title.

I also tried to follow some troubleshooting article, one of them said to do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get upgrade

reboot

Nothing changed!!

what can be the problem? I have not yet create the file bumblebee-eneblecard e bumblebee-disablecard but I don't thing is that the problem.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, i'm italian and i know it's very bad!!

Bye
