I also have an n53sv.
I noticed in the code you pasted that you didn't

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
after you added the ppa.

i also noticed that your username was preceded by a $
if i'm correct, you shouldn't have to do that.
it should be something like this:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee karolis (i changed USER into my user name 'karolis'
did the terminal coimplain to you that it could not find bumblebee?
