The links are wrong. While copy/pasting you forgot to replace the Ubuntu version numbers in each echo statement, so the instructions for 12.10 and 12.04 won’t work. Take a closer look. I edited the version numbers and it went smoothly. Thanks for the info! 🙂
By the way, I started “Intel Driver Manager” and it told me this:
Checking if Intel graphics card available… OK
Retrieving information from 01.org… OK
Checking distribution… Failed
I used the information here to bypass Intel’s check:

thanks man!
i have fixed the issue. thank you.
From my own failure I can confirm that Intel drivers for Ivy Bridge and later are not available for Ubuntu 12.04. The kernel version (3.2) is too old for Intel to support it, so they chose not to.
Thanks,
Works fine with my ASUS 1015E, linux mint 14: 64-bit. I can now get new driver.
*out of topic but related: why powertop still read two display backlight after installing appropriate driver from intel? Is the driver installed not correct or i miss something?
Thanks.
Installation seems to work, but when I started “Intel Driver Manager” it told me:
Checking if Intel graphics card available… OK
Retrieving information from 01.org… Failed
Any Ideas
Thanks for Info
sorry forgot:
I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin
Graphics is an Intel 82845G oboard adapter
