    $ primusrun/optirun unity-editor
    does not seem to work. (Ubuntu Gnome 14.10)

    Any tips on getting this started with my dedicated GPU?


    --- FIX ---
    run from terminal with
    $ optirun /opt/Unity/Editor/Unity

    Editing the entry in the Gnome 3 menu: http://imgur.com/a/CmJdv#0
    So that it will always start on the dedicated GPU :)

    I second this. Will be doing some more experiments later on, but this is a must for some developers. :)

    I've managed to run it using:
    cd /opt/Unity/Editor/
    optirun ./Unity

    hi there, this works for me on arch linux running with primusrun from any directory. I'm using this packages from the arch repos:

    bumblebee 3.2.1-10
    nvidia 352.30-3

    You can change your shortcut command line to do like @a.emilien said (at least with xubuntu)
