Intel NUC and HD6000 Graphics

[Wirezfree]

@Zead,
I need to get the NUC of my friend.

When I googled with various combinations of "NUC5i5RYH Ubuntu 14.04 HD6000" I found references to 14.04.3 and kernel 3.19


I will probably test first with an Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Live USB stick, If that works,
I will build a Live LL 2.6 from a VBox install updated with Kernel 3.19

I also found this on the Intel Communities:

[color=rgb(61, 61, 61)]Yes Ubuntu 14.04 can now work provided you update the kernel and graphic stack :[/color]
[color=rgb(61, 61, 61)][/color]
[color=rgb(61, 61, 61)]      - a kernel which is at least 3.19 (for instance linux-image-generic-lts-vivid from trusty-updates)[/color]
[color=rgb(61, 61, 61)]      - xserver-xorg-video-intel and mesa packages from oibaf PPA (ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers Trusty)[/color]
[color=rgb(61, 61, 61)]      - package i965-va-driver (currently rev 1.6.0-pre1-1~trusty) from Wolfgang Schupp PPA (ppa:wsnipex/vaapi Trusty)[/color]
[color=rgb(61, 61, 61)] [/color]
[color=rgb(61, 61, 61)]There is no particular problem (no kernel/xserver freeze anb no green / pink glitchy stuff in VLC) except that the display of heavily loaded pages by chromium may be a little chopped.[/color]
