1) Install Lubuntu 14.04.1 fresh using alternate image with RAID support.
Link to ISO image :
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/lubuntu-14.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso
2) After reboot :
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime
3) To add Windows 8 entry in grub, here is the magic recipe :
sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Replace :
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
With :
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false
sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Replace :
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
With :
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false
4) Search for the magic String !
This command :
sudo grub-probe --target=fs_uuid /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
will output a String like XXXX-XXXX, copy it and then create a custom menu entry for Windows 8.
sudo vi /etc/grub.d/40_custom and append these lines :
menuentry "Microsoft Windows_8" {
search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root XXXX-XXXX
chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
5) Run sudo update-grub so that the menu entries gets regenerated
6) Reboot and enjoy !
