Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Intel helps the users get the latest graphics drivers, Wayland improvements and other Intel tools, via the Intel Graphics Installer.
Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.5 has been recently released, allowing the users to install the Intel Graphics 2014Q1 Stack (containing Mesa 10.1, xf86-video-intel 2.99.910, vaapi intel-driver 1.3.0, Libdrm 2.4.52, Libva 1.3.0, Intel-gpu-tools 1.6, Cairo 1.12.16 and Xorg 1.15.0), on their Ubuntu 14.04 (and derivatives) and Fedora 20 systems.
In this article I will show you how to install the Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.5 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (and derivative systems: Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Isis) and Fedora 20.
If you download the deb package from the project’s site, the installation will work only on Ubuntu 14.04, and will fail on derivative systems, so we have to use the Intel Graphics Installer repository, in order to install the Intel Graphics Installer on Ubuntu 14.04, Linux Mint 17, Pinguy OS 14.04 and Elementary OS 0.3.
Add the repository to your system and add the key, update the local repository index and install the intel-linux-graphics-installer package. Like this:
$ echo "deb https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/14.04/main trusty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intellinuxgraphics.list
$ wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg -O - | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install intel-linux-graphics-installer
For Fedora 20, the easiest way to install the Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.5 is to add the repository and the key to our system, update the local repository index and install the intel-linux-graphics-installer package.
Add the repository to your system:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "[intellinuxgraphics]" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/intellinuxgraphics.repo'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "name=Intel Linux Graphics" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/intellinuxgraphics.repo'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "baseurl=https://download.01.org/gfx/fedora/20/" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/intellinuxgraphics.repo'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "gpgkey=https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/intellinuxgraphics.repo'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg-2" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/intellinuxgraphics.repo'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "gpgcheck=1" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/intellinuxgraphics.repo'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "enabled=1" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/intellinuxgraphics.repo'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "priority=1" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/intellinuxgraphics.repo'
Update the local repository index:
$ sudo yum update
Install Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.5:
$ sudo yum install intel-linux-graphics-installer
