How to install Bumblebee-UI (GUI) in Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I am quite interested in installing Bumblebee-UI in Ubuntu 12.04 after seeing this video on youtube. Link to video

Has anyone been able to install it successfully?

Solution

• Install Git:

  sudo apt-get install git
  

• Make a directory for git:

  mkdir git
  cd git
  

• Check out the repository:

  git clone https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bumblebee-ui.git
  cd bumblebee-ui
  sudo ./INSTALL
  

• Go to Startup Applications and add /usr/local/bin/bumblebee-indicator.

Have you done it successfully?

This won't work out of the box, because it doesn't follow python best practices for installation.

The repository no longer exists, so unfortunately this doesn't work anymore.
