I want to install Nvidia module 352.30 on ubuntu 14.04 (2 video cards intel and nvidia)

Question

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface

WARNING: You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 352.30 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installed in this system.  
ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.  For further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  
You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

How can I use the 352.30 module anyway?

This is what you need, the latest drivers are not supported on this GPU, you have a hybrid GPU bumblebee can utilize this — Mark Kirby, Aug 01 '15 at 11:10

A much better way to install 352 driver is running in terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 nvidia-prime

and reboot.

+1, but is there a reason for sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa? – A.B. Aug 02 '15 at 11:11

@A.B. Anyway it is not safe to keep the ppa connected. Who knows what they may upload there ;-) Previously there used to be lots of problems. And this will avoid the question: after update Ubuntu does not boot ))) – Pilot6 Aug 02 '15 at 11:13
Ah ok, I agree =) – A.B. Aug 02 '15 at 11:14
Okay, but is there even a reason for add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa? That PPA doesn't contain any packages whose name contain nvidia. – kostrykin Sep 20 '15 at 21:56

They've been removed recently. I will change the answer. Things change in this world. @theV0ID – Pilot6 Sep 20 '15 at 22:00
