Public bug reported: I have an Nvidia Optimus graphic card installed and have the Nvidia driver installed and working for my Intel card, but I cannot switch to the Nvidia card. This is because bbswitch-dkms will not build during install via apt-get or from source.
My system * Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS * NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [GeForce GT 520M] * linux-image-3.19.0-42-generic * linux-headers-3.19.0-42-generic * linux-image-extra-3.19.0-42-generic * dkms: 2.2.0.3 * gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04) 4.8.4 * bbswitch-dkms (0.7-2ubuntu1) When trying to install bbswitch-dkms the following error occurs: Unpacking bbswitch-dkms (0.7-2ubuntu1) over (0.7-2ubuntu1) ...
