I bought a dell 7559 laptop for deep learning. I got ubuntu 16.04 installed on it but I am having trouble getting caffe and tensorflow on it. The laptop used Nvidia Optimus technology to switch between gpu and cpu to save battery usage. I checked the bios to see if I can set it to use only gpu but there is no option for it. Using bumblebee or nvidia-prime didnt work either. I now have ubuntu 16 with mate desktop environment it is preventing from getting the black screen but didnt help with the cuda issue. I was able to install the drivers and cuda but when I build caffe and tensorflow they fail saying that it didnt detect a gpu. And I wasnt able to install opengl. I tried using several versions of nvidia drivers but it didnt help. Any help would be great. thanks.
