Intel Graphics Installer doesn't work - UltraCookie - 04-02-2015

Hi

I'm not sure if this was posted allready. Haven't found it.

I just wanted to run the Intel Graphics Installer and it told me the Distribution is not supported ???
The last time I did it right after installing Lite it worked just fine.

What version of the Intel driver is this? Can you please provide a link. Could you also please paste the output of:

Code:
cat /etc/lsb-release

Re: Intel Graphics Installer doesn't work - UltraCookie - 04-02-2015

Code:
lucas@Lucas-E540:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu

DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04

DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.2"

I just checkt the 01.org website. Looks like there is no support for Version 1.0.7 anymore and Version 1.0.8 does not support anything based on Ubuntu 14.04.

Intel drop support pretty quickly with their linux driver, wish they would change their approach Sad

Well the driver works fine. Guess I have to stick it until either Intel gets their act together or there is another way to install graphics drivers that is easy enough for me. Big Grin

Hi,

whilst looking to solve an HDMI issue on a "mini pc with a N2807 + integrated Intel graphics"
I found this thread ,
Even though 1.0.8 is the latest, 1.0.7 for 14.04 is still available, but your on your own, report back if you get anywhere.

I installed 1.0.7 via Synaptic. That didn't work. From what I understand from this post the Installer does not work anymore for 14.04 no matter what version of the Installer you use. :-\

Hi,

Maybe it wasn't on that page, or a link off it..??
But I copied/made these notes about "faking" the version...

Before installing Intel Graphics Tools:

First Check/Edit lsb-release
gksu leafpad /etc/lsb-release
Looks like:

Code:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu

DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04

DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.0"

change to:

Code:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu

DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04

DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"

Then install Graphics Drivers, don't think this works with 1.0.8
Then undo lsb changes above.
