Very good operating system.

First thing to install is Ubuntu Restricted Extras. Then it depends what you use your computer for.

Try to update you Ubuntu IOS. I got mine bumblebee working after a full update

Re: Ubuntu 14.04

I'd recommend you to use nvidia-prime instead.
To work with office use intel - battery saving
To use hardware accelerated video use nvidia - increase performance.

I don't think you can do that switching on the fly though - the nvidia will always run in the background consuming a certain amount of power.

I really regret buying an optimus laptop.

Re: Ubuntu 14.04

Has anyone with nvidia optimus laptop managed to get bumblebee working? I find frame rate quite poor.

Re: Ubuntu 14.04

yes, that`s no problem. Just download Linux Mint, burn it on CD/DVD or on a USB-Stick and follow the instruction in the installation-menu. Read Carefully!

Re: Ubuntu 14.04

I`m using Linux Mint for about half a year. I can say that i don`t miss Windows. Very good support and worth to try it.

Aircrack is in the software centre for download.

Re: Ubuntu 14.04

Hmm Synaptic Package Manager returned me quite some results on wifi software.

... if the focus is aircrack,

then let me suggest you to test this:

... synaptic >search >aircrack

to get some propositions like

wepcrackgui

or

aircrack-m4-svn

... also *******.com may help

Though I can't seem to see aircrack, it's said that it only works on some wifi chipsets and it's a program that is only terminal supported. There's no icon menu or alike!?
Thankz for the input @aplok. It's been awhile from using linux, but I really need to get back in tracks...

Re: Ubuntu 14.04

... on WiFi ...

... try this:

... synaptic >search >wifi

Re: Ubuntu 14.04

thankz m8...
It did gave some answers but not on WiFi code breaking, probably because it's after all illegal activity, so it's not so strange...
There are much programs as aircrack or alike, also many of them on Debian distro since it's quite known already that Debian packages like Knopix have some of the most widely available app repositories in lin. world.
Only thing not known to me at least is, why they haven't allowed that distro clean installation, `cause it's only available as a live CD DVD version!
Too childish and an understatement for that powerful distro, as far as I'm concerned!!!
