Thanks for the reply. i saw it on ubuntu forums that it can be switched withing nvidia x server software but its not the case with kali it seems. are they any disadvantages using bumblebee instead of this method ?Quote:

Hello mates, after struggling a lot installing many times kali ,following many guides none work except this . I was also decided to give up on this and all those feelings of other users who struggled a lot like me and then you have found easter egg. thanks a lot bro @TIGER511. As other mentioned this tutorial should be on kali linux official site .
Can u post the link or if u don't mind tutorial on installing bumblebee?please.thanks
I know your feelings.I was one of them as well.spent months figuring it out,several attempt was made without any success.Quote:

Dude, this is absolutely the best guide on the internet.
But in step 7, what if I want to use LXDE or other DM which are not in your list?
@TiGER511 you are the greatest!
I do have 2 questions (and these maybe either my lack of understanding or being very sleep deprived)
But I am completely lost on steps 6 & 7. Do I click the links and follow those instructions?
I did "glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"" and it returned with a yes so idk if I am good to go or not b/c when I did the "xrandr --verbose|grep PRIME" it doesn't return with any responses.
On 4k screen everything was working perfectly but once I installed nvidia drivers the tool bars on programs became huge and so did the buttons. But the taskbar is at it's original size. idk why this is...been through the settings and all
Good Job !!!!!!!!!!!1
You can try with "~/.xinitrc" ,it may work.Quote:
