console-gce

gce is a very simple script for GNU/Linux systems to enable one of the Graphics cards for NVIDIA Optimus enabled laptops by using Bumblebee, sudo, dialog and adding a bit of rice with neofetch.

It allows you to choose between the intel or the NVIDIA graphics cards when you log in by displaying a Single or Multi displays option for laptops with the HDMI output hard wired to the NVIDIA graphics card and users that want to use their NVIDIA graphics card.

Installing

• git clone https://github.com/robglezDev/console-gce/ or download the latest release and extract it.
• Run install.sh as root
• Add bash gce to your .profile, .bash_profile, .zprofile or etc. to execute as last command. (This makes the gce dialog appear and allow you to choose what mode you want to continue with.
• Change startxfce4 to your desktop environment.

Dependencies

You must have Bumblebee, sudo, dialog and neofetch to use gce.

Usage

After logging in:

• Choose Single monitor to use the Intel graphics card
• Choose Multiple monitors to use the NVIDIA graphics card.

Credits

• robglezDev - gce script - robglezDev
• gce is inspired by CDM and console-tdm as I like to see and use dialog.

Uninstalling

• Run uninstall.sh as root
• Remove bash gce from your .profile, .bash_profile, .zprofile or etc.

Why?

I like how dialog looks and I have to use the NVIDIA graphics card to be able to use my monitor, why not do it with style by using dialog and sharing it with other people!
