Answer 1

You could need Bumblebee. But this is supported only for 12.04 and from 13.10 up. Oficial instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

You need to open your terminal and enter the commands below.

If on 12.04.3, replace linux-headers-generic with linux-headers-generic-lts-raring.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable

Enable the Universe and Multiverse repositories (for bumblebee and nvidia packages respectively).

sudo apt-get update

Install Bumblebee using the default proprietary nvidia driver:

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia linux-headers-generic

Reboot

All should be ok now.
