https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?54342-Dual-booting-Windows-8-1-amp-Ubuntu-14-04-in-G751JT

5.Changing command parameter in GRUB.
When I was installing Ubuntu 14.04.
When you boot from your USB you will get the purple colored GRUB screen.
Click "e" key and replace "quiet splash" to "nomodeset".
This is done only for since there is some graphics issue when booting normally. Apparently G751JT's nvidia 970M has some issues with it. After reading some information about it, I assume, the open source driver for the graphics card does not support the normal way of booting.
Then click the "F10"key.
Wait patiently and texts would be flashing. Even though you might think your laptop froze, there's a high chance that it is still running.

When I was installing Ubuntu 15.04.
Without having to replace "quiet splash" to "nomodeset", normally booting it worked fine for me. If it doesn't work, I guess you could change "quiet splash" to "nomodeset" like how I did on Ubuntu 14.04.

Boot on USB

• In the first line of text displayed, you’ll need to change the modeset affected to your chipset or video card from 1 to 0 (nvidia.modeset=0 or nouveau.modeset=0 etc.) or just addnomodeset at the end of the line.

Korora / Fedora 21 & graphic drivers: The Asus Rog G551 comes with the NVidia Optimus technology and you’ll need specific drivers to get the best of it. NVidia Nouveau (NVidia open source drivers) did not work during all my tests, I had to get rid of them. Proceed as follow:

• Once Fedora/Korora is installed, boot your system but don’t log in.
• Go to the CLI by pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 and enter login/password
• Start with updating your system : sudo yum -y update
• Reboot, re-connect in CLI and remove any kind of xorg-x11-drv-nvidia* entry: the technology you will use is incompatible with Nouveau drivers.
• Now begin the Bumbledee installation (get the joke ?). Follow carefully the guide: install dependencies then Bumblebee with the NVIDIA proprietary drivers.
• Reboot.

I experience this issue as well running Linux Mint 17.3 (based on Ubuntu 14). I updated to the latest BIOS (216) before I ever installed Linux on the machine (as suggested by Christopher) in a newer report of the same bug. It has no effect. The touchpad is not recognized at all. The hardware is just "too new."

I have tried with latest kernel ( 4.4 ) and it fails to even boot.
I think you should try with ubuntu 16.04 ( haven't tried myself though ).

This is what I have learnt during this period :
 Kernels below 4.3
Add these Kernel parameters :
"nouveau.modeset=0 tpm_tis.interrupts=0 acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 idle=nomwait"

For kernel 4.4
nouveau.modeset=0 acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native idle=nomwait

Hope it helps.

if it helps, I have also tried "Fedora 23 + dnf update", and the touchpad works perfectly fine with kernel 4.3 along with other things.

For kernel 4.3

Add these Kernel parameters :
"nouveau.modeset=0 tpm_tis.interrupts=0 acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 idle=nomwait"

For kernel 4.4
nouveau.modeset=0 acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native idle=nomwait

Yes, the new kernel boots fine with the following kernel parameters
"acpi_osi=! idle=nomwait"

you can simple add these to /etc/default/grub.conf and run "update-grub2"

And yes, the touchpad works great !!

@Michael, if you are looking to install ubuntu
1. install 14.04 version ( wily )
2. download 4.4 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc8-wily. Download these 3 files in a separate folder ( say kernel_44 )
    linux-headers-4.4.0-040400rc8-generic_4.4.0-040400rc8.201601130531_amd64.deb
    linux-headers-4.4.0-040400rc8-generic_4.4.0-040400rc8.201601130531_amd64.deb
    linux-image-4.4.0-040400rc8-generic_4.4.0-040400rc8.201601130531_amd64.deb

3. run the following command to install the kernel
      sudo dpkg -i kernel_44/*.deb

4. add "acpi_osi=! idle=nomwait" in the /etc/default/grub in the kernel line.
      search for splash keyword in that file , and add this next to it, assuming you would find splash only once in the file.

5. run
     update-grub2

6. reboot

thats it ! you would automatically boot into the new kernel, and your touchpad should work fine.

Got an error on install of the headers file. Traced it to bbswitch-dkms. Uninstalled this package, re-installed the .debs, restarted. System crashes. Restarting again to see if the grub entry changed. Nothing changed in the grub entry. Adding nomodeset, as I remember I needed this when I originally installed. Nomodeset worked, booted into ubuntu. Still getting "System program problem detected" popup. Re-installing nvidia driver. Restarting. Hangs on boot (ubuntu ..... screen) hit escape.

Morning all,

I just want to share my experience.

I had the same issue with touchpad on the laptop. After upgrading the kernel to 4.3.3 or 4.4 touchpad started working but I met the problem with video artifacts.

Here absolutely the same issue described for another laptop with screenshots (sorry for small off-topic).
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=213443

The bug appears on open-source and proprietary drivers.

Currently I'm researching the solution how to fix the graphic issue on 4.3 kernel or how to make touchpad working on 3.19.

I'm on a Zenbook ux305ca with Skylake HD 515 graphics. Under a fresh install of 17.3 the intel graphics work wonderfully. Unfortunately the touchpad only works under a patched version of the 4.4 kernel. I've tried several 4.4 kernels and all of them have had graphical corruption problems. An example of what it looks like is in the attached screenshot. 

I've done some googling about skylake kernel 4.4 graphics issues and didn't find anything. Any advice on how to fix this?

Debian installation

Hi,

I was trying to configure NVIDIA on Debian 8.3, but unfortunately without success.
What I have done so far:
1. Running kernel 3.16 with parameters: nouveau.modeset=0 tpm_tis.interrupts=0 acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 idle=nomwait // it make system working faster
2. Installing Bumblebee or Bumblebee-nvidia package // it hangs the system, i don't have logs
3. Reinstalling system with kernel 3.16
4. Installing kernel 4.3 from backports
5. Running kernel 4.3 with parameters: nouveau.modeset=0 acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native idle=nomwait // it hungs when starting x
6. Reinstalling the system with kernel 3.16
7. Installing latest NVIDIA driver and run nvidia-config // the system hungs
8. Testing kernel 4.3 with the following parameters: intel_idle.max_cstate=0, acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native // x windows don't start
9. Testing kernal 4.3 with the following parameters: intel_idle.max_cstate=0, acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native, idle=nomwait // x windows don't start
10. checking BIOS version // is 216, the newest

Do you have any suggestions what could I try?

I have a ASUS ROG G552 and I added to following to my grub:

etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native idle=nomwait"

I am running Ubuntu Mate 16.04

Kernel 4.4.0-7-generic

The above command restored my touchpad and detected it with full hw support.

I also have an ASUS ROG GL552 and am using "acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=native idle=nomwait"
I'm running 15.10 and a 4.3.5 kernel.

I had everything installed already so the video is gonna be 4 minutes max.
You can use any nvidia driver version, just change nvidia-331 to match your driver version e.g. nvidia-334.


- Install the kernel header file.
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic

- Install the xorg-edgers ppa for the latest video drivers.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

- Install bumblebee:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus

- Install nvidia-331 package from the xorg-edgers repository:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-settings

- Edit the bumblebee.conf:
"sudo vim /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

In line no 22, set the following:

Driver=nvidia

You will also need to specify which nvidia driver to use in line no 55:

KernelDriver=nvidia-331

Change the following in line no 58:

LibraryPath=/usr/lib/nvidia-331:/usr/lib

­32/nvidia-331

And in line no 61 :

XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-331/xorg,­/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

- Reinstall bbswitch-dkms:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch-dkms

As /u/Robsteady said, Ubuntu and derivatives have the best support. Just a tip for ya though, use the BIOS switch to put your laptop in Intel-Only mode, then install Ubuntu/derivative. Next, use the BIOS again to activate the Nvidia card. If you fail to reach desktop, then don't panic, hit ctrl+alt+F1 to access the terminal.

Then type; apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-prime

Install these packages, then type; sudo reboot

You should get to desktop just fine after rebooting

ubuntu 14.04.4 with kernel 4.2: black screen instead of the login screen after installing nvidia driver

http://askubuntu.com/questions/740059/ubuntu-14-04-4-with-kernel-4-2-black-screen-instead-of-the-login-screen-after-i

To get into system, I have to run sudo prime-select intel, then I run the following commands after reboot:

When I run lspci -knn | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'in termal, the information is:

Hello there,

You'll have an easy time on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Nvidia Optimus. For starters, you'll need to install the proprietary Nvidia driver. Skip the opensource driver (nouveau).

Follow this giude:

http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/prime-indicator-lets-you-quickly-switch.html

Final result: 1. You'll be able to switch the GPUs manually with the applet indicator in Ubuntu. 2. GPU switching will require you to re-login again (both X and the compositor must be re-initialized). 3. This assumes that all the display outputs are wired to the Intel HD Graphics card (as is often the case with Nvidia Optimus). However, some notable SKUs (Dell Precision workstation notebooks and several nvidia 3D capable notebooks with Optimus) may have some of the monitor outputs wired to the Nvidia GPU. Please confirm if this case applies to you. 4. You can also use the full capabilities of your selected GPUs on switch. For example, if you're on the Intel IGP, video decode and encode will be handled by VAAPI, and so will all OpenGL and OpenCL compute (if you have Intel's Beignet installed). With the Nvidia GPU activated, you'll be able to use it's video decode capabilities (as exposed by VPDAU) , and it's CUDA and OpenCL compute. Library linking is handled automatically on switching, and as such, no manual intervention is needed.

Regards,

Brainiarc7.

Install Prime Indicator in Ubuntu

To add the PPA and install Prime Indicator in Ubuntu, use the commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install prime-indicator

If you don't want to add the PPA, you can manually download the deb from HERE.

Nvidia Optimus (Intel + Nvidia) on Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon

https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1961

~ $ firefox In this example, firefox starts running using intel

~ $ optirun firefox Here, firefox runs with nvidia (it won't work on yours since bumblebee is not installed yet).

Please note that it's not common to run firefox using nvidia since a web browser doesn't usually require that GPU power.

First, adding the repository (needed for virtualgl):

~ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable

Now, installing bumblebee and its components:

~ $ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends bumblebee

~ $ sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia

~ $ sudo apt-get install virtualgl

~ $ sudo apt-get install primus

~ $ sudo apt-get install primus-libs-ia32 (It's used to run 32 bit programs, so although you have a 64 bit machine you need to do this to have 32 bit support).

You may reboot your PC.

1. Use nvidia driver

2. Remove bumblebee and install prime

  Open the shell by pressing ctrl-alt-t.

First let's make sure we have the latest software catalog.

sudo apt-get update

Now remove everything bumblebee related.

sudo apt-get purge bumblebee*

Then install prime.

sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime

Now restart your computer.

How to use prime

After your computer has restarted, open the dash and type "nvidia". Open "Nvidia x-server settings".

Here you can choose between the intel and nvidia graphics driver. Choose the intel one for maximum power saving, choose the nvidia one for maximum performance.

After changing graphics card, you'll have to logout and log back in to apply the changes.

Difference between nvidia-prime and bumblebee

The current version of nvidia-prime uses one graphics card for the complete desktop. You either login with nvidia or intel. With bumblebee, you can start individual programs with a specific graphics card, like it is the case on windows.

Sadly, I can't get bumblebee to work on ubuntu 13.10 or higher...

http://xmodulo.com/install-configure-nvidia-optimus-driver-ubuntu.html

https://antergos.com/wiki/hardware/graphics/bumblebee-for-nvidia-optimus/

Turning Off Nvidia Manually

First, let's try to shutdown Nvidia by hand.  To be sure that we're facing with the issue described here:

1. sudo rmmod nvidia_modeset nvidia
2. sudo tee <<<OFF /proc/acpi/bbswitch

The first command forces two modules to be unloaded.  The second one switches Nvidia GPU off.  Check Nvidia status again:

1. optirun --status
2. Bumblebee status: Ready (3.2.1). X inactive. Discrete video card is off.

Let's run a bit more complicated test.  It will switch Nvidia on and then back off, in one command:

1. optirun pwd && sleep 1 && sudo rmmod nvidia_modeset nvidia && sudo tee <<<OFF /proc/acpi/bbswitch

This method may be used to switch Nvidia off by hand.  

Fine tuning NVIDIA Optimus settings

It is possible to fine-tune NVIDIA settings, by running the nvidia-settings utility on NVIDIA GPU

1. optirun -b none nvidia-settings -c :8

The command is the only correct way to execute nvidia-settings on Optimus computers.

http://www.yourownlinux.com/2014/04/how-to-install-nvidia-331-67-stable-graphics-drivers-in-linux.html

I suggest removing the ppa by typing (this is optional):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 nvidia-settings

sudo nvidia-xconfig

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-genericsudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

To install Bumblebee using the 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

Do all the step there except step #7 and then you will have to do the following in a terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Now add following lines to the end of the file and save:

blacklist amd76x_edac
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv

You will need to do the following in a terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Change these in the file and save:

Driver="empty or whatever" to  Driver=nvidia
kernelDriver=nvidia-current to KernelDriver=nvidia

sudo update-initramfs -u

Booted up might be kind of buggy had to Ctrl+Alt+F6 and then Ctrl+Alt+F8 to get out of black screen of panic for Mint 13.

Ubuntu uses different keys Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then Ctrl+Alt+F7.

sudo reboot

Then run your update manager. My bumblebee did not work until OS go the new stuff.

Try optirun glxgears in a terminal.
