Hello, trying to install ARC310 driver on Ubuntu Server 22.04 with 6.5 kernel and I get this error.

I am using

Any suggestions, please?

I have the same issue with 5.15 kernel, the one actually recommended by the install guide.

Any solutions to try, please?

The guide at https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/client/overview.html is not working, I can't build the module locally for either kernel 5.15 or 6.5 hwe.

Can some Intel Linux chad look at this please and give some pointers?

Should I post in a different area of the forums?

Root cause:

linux-hwe-6.5-headers-6.5.0-18/include/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_helper.h:835:int drm_dp_calc_pbn_mode(int clock, int bpp, bool dsc);
linux-hwe-6.5-headers-6.5.0-41/include/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_helper.h:835:int drm_dp_calc_pbn_mode(int clock, int bpp);

drm_dp_calc_pbn_mode() prototype has changed in 6.5.0-41, leading to mismatch with i915-dkms.

Possible solution:

After installing Ubuntu 22.04 (say 22.04.4), don't apt upgrade, especially don't install & upgrade linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04.

To turn off Ubuntu Unattended-Upgrades:

sudo systemctl disable --now unattended-upgrades

sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades, setting Unattended-Upgrade as "0".

But this happens when I revert to the mainline non hwe kernel 5.15.

See attached crash log for details.

Beside the crash report in the previous post, I have attached a report generated by Intel SSU.

Please let me know how to proceed.

Both kernel version recommended in Intel guides (mainline 5.15 and hwe 6.5) do not work out of the box.

I am running Ubuntu 22.04.4 Server, everything should install.

Please list your command sequences after the installation of ubuntu 22.04.

and the output of `uname -a`

I have added the answers in the text file and attached it since this forum is complaining about using some restricted characters.

As far as I know, the current intel-i915-dkms cannot work with Ubuntu 6.5.0-41-generic, so don't do your typical "apt upgrade" after an install.

I have the same issue with the 5.15 kernel.

Which exact kernel version should I use?

Thanks!

What I'm using is intel-i915-dkms/1.24.2.17.240301.20 + ubuntu Desktop 22.04.4, which is a working pair.

Your intel-i915-dkms (intel-i915-dkms-0.5949.220707.2.1013) seems too out-of-date.

How can I get an updated version of intel-i915-dkms?

Is there a specific PPA I should add?

I am running Ubuntu Server 22.04.4

Which user guide are you following?

You should do some steps similar below :

```sh

wget -qO - https://repositories.intel.com/gpu/intel-graphics.key | sudo gpg --dearmor --output /usr/share/keyrings/intel-graphics.gpg

echo "deb [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/intel-graphics.gpg] https://repositories.intel.com/gpu/ubuntu jammy client" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-gpu-jammy.list

sudo apt update

```
