firstly I want to say thank you to all people which are helping improving LM and making it to my preferred system. Today it's a system which is superior to each system I've ever had in my opinion (except the software compatibility, but that wasn't a problem for me until now, thanks to Wine or in the worst case VirtualBox I can run every program, so it's the only system that I'm installing on all of my computers). Also friends of me are surprised that Linux (Mint) definitely can now compete with Windows and OS X (and for me Linux was always the better system ).
Now to my problem:
I did a fresh install of LM 17.2 Cinnamon 64-bit. Before I was running LM 17 Cinnamon 64-bit and I didn't use the upgrade because I want to completely install everything new because of programs that I'm not using anymore - and because I was running bumblebee and thought I don't need it anymore because LM 17.2 will support the Optimus technology.
Unfortunately there was no trayicon after install, so I added it manually, but it is a grey speechbubble with a grey X in it with a tooltip saying "NVIDIA prime is not supported by your hardware.".
But my laptop has built in a NVIDIA GTX 850M which worked without any problems with bumblebee on my old system.

I have no switch in the BIOS or anywhere else as far as I know and as already said it was working without any problems on LM 17 with bumblebee.
I hope somone can help me. If you need more information, just ask.
Thanks for helping.
