Intel NUC and HD6000 Graphics

[Zead]

@Zead
Yes Ubuntu use Intel Official drivers, but there is always a delay.
You can get Intel Drivers direct from Intel site if you want.

It seems unless you start adding PPA's then you don't get everything you need unless you stop using LTS
14.04.3 gives the Kernel 3.10 , But you need 15.10 to get all drivers also..

I guess this is where you have to make a decision..??
You stay with known/hardware and stability with LTS
and try to "patch" for New Hardware if possible.
or
to keep up with Latest New Hardware, don't use LTS

3.10? Did you mean 3.19?

I've found that Intel HD 6000 works well even on 15.04. This GPU was released in September 2014 according to some websites. Some says January 2015, so It would be a shame if it didn't work on 15.04, or the last 14.04.3.

15.04 doesn't have i965-va-driver  version 1.6.0. but according to people, it works.

https://communities.intel.com/thread/610...5&tstart=0 14.04.3 is reported to be working too. You need at least kernel 3.18.

You could try this "nomodeset" command, it should let you install the system on kernel 3.13. People use that to install systems with new unsupported GPUs. Then install new kernel and drivers and reboot without nomodeset
