I was able to get it working by uninstalling the unused, not working nvidia-current drivers. Somehow these drivers were probably called first by unity and were unable to function properly.
I also added 'nouveau' to the list of blacklisted drivers, since I do not believe Ubuntu has any way to use my nvidia card at the moment. Consider this issue solved and this 'fix' will probably work for anyone with a nvidia/intel hybrid laptop experiencing the same issues as I do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756583 Title: [Asus u30jc (optimus)] Unity won't launch, defaults to classic -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
